Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I bought this car from all auto sales. The same day, less than an hour later I attempted to drive the car home and it broke down in front of a red light. The salesman reassured me that nothing was wrong with it. I tried to start it back up and it wouldn't start so I had to push it to the side of the road, while pregnant and two kids present. It was sold to me as is and I have no temp tags and I'm expected to pay a bi weekly car note. …”
