Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Odometer fraud from dealership - vehicle was sold with an odometer reading of 21,812. A few weeks after the purchase the car had problems and was taken to a repair shop who noted that the vehicle looked like it had many more miles on it. Through car fax we found that the car had over 90,000 miles. We bought from a dealership that is part of a large auto group and presumed proper due diligence was done. While we did get a refund, we feel it is important to file a complaint should there be others out there in the same situation.”
