Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I purchased an automobile from equitable car sales approx 2 years ago as is . Recently, I took my vehicle in to a local shop for an oil change and they advised me that all 4 of my wheels on the car were cracking due to someone installing them too tightly. I called the dealership and they won't do anything about it since it was sold as is . Now, I am unable to even drive the car without taking the chance of one or all 4 of the wheels completely coming off.”
