“I recently purchased a 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix from enterprise used car. They let me drive it around the block, it was comfortable. While I was driving it home on the freeway, it started to shake really bad. When I got off of the freeway I could hear this thunk in the back tire. So the next day I took it back and told them I don't want this car something is wrong with it. So they put it in the shop, and I test drove other vehicles. This took a couple of days. At the end of the week, I didn't find anything I liked. They told me my car was done, I told them I didn't want that car. …”
