Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Mis-lead, deceived and possibly lied to in a used vehicle purchase involving a trade. The vehicle door locks do not work and I injured myself while trying to lock them. I consider the locks to be a safety issue as well as an insurance issue. I now just want to unwind the deal and desperately need help in doing this. I notified the dealer in less than 18 hours of purchase of the situation. I no longer trust them or the vehicle. I need to act quickly in order to get my trade back (which I trust). …”
