Car Renter Beware! Recently I needed to rent a vehicle while mine was in the shop for repairs. It was a short term rental, only 3 days. When I picked up the vehicle they tried to talk me into taking their bumper to bumper car insurance for $12.00 plus some change per day and I informed them that I had excellent insurance and would not need the extra coverage. I walked around the vehicle with the agent and looked for any obvious damage before signing for the vehicle. I noticed small chip in paint but figured this was normal wear and tear... read full review »

I purchased an extended auto repair warranty from Platinum Warranty Corp. December 30,2004 at a cost of $2049.00. My first attempt to use the service was 01-05-2007. Phone# on my warranty card was invalid. I looked on the website and realized I was in trouble from the postings of victims of this corporation. I live in Arizona and have contacted our Attorney General but not enough time has passed for an answer. An interesting bit of information I found, was that the Ohio Attorney General, Jim Petro filed suit in Cuyahoga County... read full review »

I bought a vehicle in July of 2004 from Drive Financial. I can proudly say that I have not had a late payment that was my fault. For example, I had so many problems with these people stating they had not received payments or taking forever in a day to cash a personal check. This lead me to switch to auto pay. I asked to have my payment deducted on the 15th of every month. Now this sounds PRETTY simple, huh? WRONG! The 15th approaches and the money was still not withdrawn for my account. I called Drive to inform them that the payment wa... read full review »

I have Bought Hero Honda Glamour Gls. Which in compare to other bike gives u a very bad performance. While driving the bike the shock absorber are so bad that the impact is directly on the back of a person driving the bike. I complained about this to the Hero Honda but there are no changes in the bike. Since i have bought my bike it vibrates like anything. I told them about that also. But i don't know they just say it is a problem with every bike. But i took a test drive of all bike but i found that problem only in my bike. Now they are not ready to listen to us. My bike is not a even a month old and there are so many problems in the bike. read full review »

My girlfriend took her car (2001 civic) to these idiots hoping to have it repaired and Dan cicetti the thieving service guy told her the car was junk and that she should call some junkyards to see what they would offer her. They charged her 100.00 to tell her that the car needed a rebuilt motor and would not tell her exactly why and they wanted to charge 4200.00 for the service. She had the car towed to a private mechanic and it tuned out to be the fuel pump and the repair was less than $300.00. What a bunch of scam artists, and then they wonder why people don't trust them. read full review »

I bought my 2002 Chevy Tahoe brand new in may of 2002. My transmission has gone out FOUR times since then, and i only have 87,000 miles on it right now. The transmission went out at 10,000 miles, 33,000 miles, 66,000 miles, and 85,000 miles. I have 3 children, and 3 out of the 4 times, my younger sons have been with me.

This last time it went out, at 85,000 miles, I asked for SOME SORT of... read full review »

Used Mercedes Benz E240 purchased from MB Wakefield in March 2005, within 3 days the battery died (replaced under warranty) within 6 weeks the steering rack failed (replaced under warranty). Car was supposed to have been prepared for sale to the highest standards as per MB UK, no way. The passenger door trim flapped in the wind, there were numerous paint marks that had not been touched, the car was supposed to have been valeted, far from it I found a drinks carton under the seat, and small amount of loose change, plus the car wa... read full review »

My wife and I visited reliable Chevrolet for a test-drive. A sales clerk, Adriana, asked for our phone number and I told her I did not want to give it to them, as I did not want to receive sales calls. She then said her manager told her that she could not take us on a test drive without the number as they needed them for "safety". I said I would give it only if they guaranteed I would receive no sales calls, which she guaranteed. I then gave her both my cell number and my wife’s. The next day we received a call from their... read full review »

Purchased Marin bicycle from Big Wheel bikes in Bethesda MD. {$600} within one day of riding around rear wheel weird and very noisy. Found out that only about 60 percent of the spokes were actually 'truing' the wheel; all the other spokes were just barely tightened.

Two days ago tried to tell Marin, no response; lots of good bikes out there Marin ain't one of them. read full review »

I am writing to describe our purchase and service experiences this far with Land Rover. As background, I am a foreign service officer who lives/works in Africa and have owned and driven several Landrovers in Africa. Regrettably, we have had a horrible experience both with the Landrover in Albuquerque, NM and in Chantilly, Virginia. Not only are the services associates rude and unhelpful, but they have cost us money and time that is simply unacceptable. After buying our car in Chantilly, VA in August 2006, we found out that they did... read full review »

I recently had a opportunity to have Tix Nix go to court for me on a CDL speeding ticket, not only did it take for ever with no good resolve, it ended up costing me double the fine plus 500.00 for their SERVICES. I say a waste of time and MONEY! read full review »

We are original owners of a 1999 Plymouth Grand Voyager with less than 50,000 miles. It has been maintained according to schedule, and at 47,000 miles the engine blew a rod and now needs replacement at a cost of $5,000. I contacted Chrysler Customer Care - they don't care. To my inquiry about a well maintained vehicle lasting more than 47,000 miles they answer 'it's beyond the manufacturer's warranty.' Be forewarned before you buy a Chrysler product - check out complaints and the company's track record for... read full review »

On December 28, 2006 I went to Washworks at 3:39pm to have my car washed. I paid $15.00 for a Deluxe car wash. After 40 minutes of waiting I began asking employees where my car was. No one was able to locate my car. I asked for a manager and they told me he was in a back garage. I walked back there to find my car in a shut garage and it had not been washed. I asked what was going on and he said the key broke off in the ignition and so they pushed it into the garage and left it. I asked him why they did not come and get me and he said he... read full review »

My oldest son moved to Fairfax, VA back in August to start his first post-graduation job. He took my 1998 Volvo S70 with him for transportation. The local Volvo dealer is Fairfax Volvo so I told him to take the car there for an oil change and tire rotation. He provided his own motor oil (Mobil-1 synthetic) for the oil change as the dealership uses conventional motor oil only. The tires only needed rotation but the service dept. talked him into a rotation and balance (he didn't know any better). After he dropped of the car the... read full review »

I own a 2002 Chrylser Town & Country LXi (original owner). This past April with just under 39K miles on the odometer I noted a whirring noise from the engine compartment that grew progressively louder over the course of several weeks. I suspected a bad alterator which the dealer confirmed. Since i was 3K miles beyond the 'bumper to bumper' warranty (36K miles)I assumed it would be replaced under the extended powertrain warranty. Surprise! An alternator is not considered part of the powertrain and I had to shell out $460 to... read full review »

I gave Newsome chev the top marks on their critique of service 2007 chev did it because I know they are workers and I wanted to be kind.

We have a 2005 Sorento that since almost new has had a highly intermittent shifting problem in the defective manual transmission.

I want to complaint about the Hero Honda Showroom (Nikhi Motors), which is located in karnataka, Bangalore. I booked HH glamour with disc brakes on December 12, 2006. The next day, that is December 13, 2006, a representative of this showroom gave me a call and told me that the stock has arrived and I should come and pay the down payment, so I dropped to the showroom and inquired about the vehicle. They told the amount to be paid and took the cash. After receiving the cash, they are informing me that they do not have HH glamour with disk... read full review »

I had just gotten divorced and they saw "naive" coming. I had 4 witnesses at work meet with me & the salesman, I believed what he said he would do, replace the front bumper, complete extended warranty, etc. I failed to get this in writing. Pick up the car, sign, sorry, you signed, it is not in writing. My witnesses wrote letters, too bad. As a result I have lost a few thousand and I am not a rich person, single self supporting female. Now I'm stuck w/this mess for 3 years until it is paid off. There should be something that can be done for grossly dishonest sales people that use people for financial gain. read full review »

Our check engine light had been coming on for 100 months from the day we bought our Crysler in Feb 2006.We took it back and they put a gas cap on it and said it would be ok. It was not. It would come on and go off for 10 months until we had another problem. The electric window switch went bad in the right rear door. We took it in to have it fixed and had an oil change and told them the engine light was still coming on. They fixed it and charged us a total of 800.00 and a few dollars. The car was in the shop for 3 to 3 and one half ours. The... read full review »

This company can run, but it cannot hide. I previously placed an ad for this company which is a Fraud. The new email address is [email protected] which had fraudulently taken me $2500.

This dealer does not cover any replacement parts (especially catalytic converters, sensors, etc.) that are more than 1 year old. Since my Maxima is now due for a third catalytic converter/sensors at $1,200 (first one replaced at 52K!) third one would be at $1,200 at 82K within 2 years! On-Board Diagnostic Computers are great for making money, they indicate which part is bad (highest prices items) then the service department replaces it. The cause is never investigated. Anyway, I'm no longer a Nissan customer. read full review »

I purchased a 2004 Passat TDI in July 2005 from VW of America. It was a buyback with claims that the engine did not start, probably due to failure to understand what a glow plug indicator light was all about, or so I assumed. In the last year and a half I have been very pleased with all of the features that the car offered, good milage, reasonable maintenance costs etc. I have had all service done by VW at the local dealership at the intervals stipulated. On December 10, 2006 while driving the service indicator lights came on stating... read full review »

Over a period of several months, I spoke with the owner of Master Tech, who told me he would obtain a used engine for my 1995 Ford Mustang, damaged by a local auto dealer. After allegedly tearing my vehicle's engine down, the owner called me to state that the engine was extremely clean, that it would be better if he just rebuilt it, which is what I had wanted done initially because my engine had only 60,000 miles on it. I recently went to Court against the dealership whose faulty repairs caused the damage in the first place. Master... read full review »

Here are the problems I had with my 2002 Kia Sedona EX: Gas Gauge – After filling up with gas, the gauge immediately moved to half but took about five minutes to move from half to full. It also didn’t read accurately. While driving, it slowly dropped (as would be expected). The problem here was, it showed only 1/2 a tank of fuel when it's really 3/4 full. Trip Computer / Overhead Console – The digital display for the various overhead console functions was wrong. For instance, it showed time as 3:69 p.m... read full review »

The only time I ever used my Debit Card was to order Auto Cool from TV Ad in August 06. The following month I was charged $48.88 by GPM Auto Cool. That was correct. I also saw a 19.95 by WC Value Plus, which I had never heard of. I was also charged $19.95 in October and November. These (WC Value Plus) charges were NOT AUTHORIZED. The only place anyone could have gotten my info was from GPM Auto Cool. I am filing a complaint with the Attorney General Office and need an Address for WC Value Plus if anyone has it. Also need to know if anyone getting ripped off by WC Value Plus Ordered Auto Cool. Thanks, Larry read full review »

To make a long story short I just bought a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee from Lithia All American Dodge of San Angelo Texas. I purchased my new Jeep around 2:00 p.m. on a Saturday afternoon.

On Sunday I noticed a few other discrepancies that I wasn’t to happy with, but I thought to myself I went to an actual dealership, and spent the extra money so I will... read full review »

I will never have Allstate Insurance again because of the way they treated me when I was involved in an auto accident. In Nashville, Tennessee I was stopped at an intersection with no traffic light, waiting to turn left onto a four-lane road in front of my sons’ high school. I did not see anything coming anywhere close, so I pulled out into the intersection. A car sped into the left lane of the 4-lane road, from around a slower car in the right lane, at least 40-45 MPH toward me. I was nearly in the middle of the intersection at that... read full review »

Wow! This has been one of the worst experiences ever. Linda from Ultimate Auto Transport said she could pick up our car in Arizona the next day and get it to us 5 days later. Well, she didn't pick up the car for 5 days and then said if everything went well we could hope to get the car 7-10 days after that! She gave us a telephone number for the truck driver but that number wasn't taking any more messages because the voice mailbox was full. We haven't received our car yet but have our fingers crossed.
