“I bought a Dodge Challenger. The place I bought it is huntington beach Dodge ram jeep dealer. I got out of the dealer and the shaft of the car was out of the way, I was almost having an accident.I went back to the dealer and explained the situation. They told me to give the car to the service. I said I did not want to service the car at 50 miles. I asked them to give me a new one of the same car. No, we can't give you a car because they said you bought cash and got a discount. I left the car to the service 3 days ago. Still nobody informed me. …”
