I had a GM recall service done on my 2001 Yukon XL and the fuel pump failed 7 days afterward, stranding my family for 3 days in a distant location. GM Customer Service says there is no relationship to the recall repair and the fuel pump failure based upon the service station's reply to their telephone inquiry. There was no indications of failure prior to the recall. The service center had to remove my tank and drain it to enter the tank. The wiring harness that was changed was connected to the fuel pump. The fuel pump apparently... read full review »

Lies, lies, & you guessed it...more lies and all from Honda & it's ad campaign claiming 49/50 MPG on their touted 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid. We fell for the sales pitch & hype when we plunked down $27,000 in April '06 for our new Honda Civic Hybrid. Turning out to be Truly a bad move, as we have never seen anything over 34 MPG & it's currently 32 MPG. A far cry from their deceitful and misleading claims. After confronting our Dealership (Penske Honda with this information, one of their staff (an obvious trouble... read full review »

In April of 2006 I purchased 6 ATV's from a SUNL dealer thru EBAY. This dealer, who I will not name, has been so very helpful. I have no complaints at all about him. He has sent me box after box of parts for free. What absolutely floors me, is how incredibly poorly these things are made. My kids are all average sized, ranging from 6 yrs old to 11 yrs old. They only ride them on the weekends in our 4.5 acres of flat as can be grass yard. No jumps, tricks, rough riding, nothing. These things have been an endless headache for me. I seriously... read full review »

My wife and I recently purchased a 2006 Chevy Cobalt from Bill Heard Chevrolet in Columbus, Georgia. We left the car lot feeling certain that we were the owners of a new car and that they were taking our trade in - a 2004 Ford Taurus. It has now been 9 weeks and they have not found a financing company for our Cobalt. They say the purchase agreement I signed want allow me to take it back. But the worst thing is that they have sold my 2004 Taurus and have not even paid it off. Capitol One is calling because they say I am 2 months behind on my... read full review »

Don't know if this is possibly so standard as to be boring ... But I was dealing with Sames-Crow Ford dealership in Corpus Christi, Texas. The finance department was absolutely TERRIBLE regarding how they handled this all-cash sale. First, they told me that I HAD to have the car registered in Texas (even tho I am moving to North Carolina in about a month and already had an address there... They told me, straight, that this could NOT be done -- but I had it on good authority from two other dealerships that this was a routine... read full review »

A car insured by Unitrin Direct totaled my car. It took 8 days for the claims rep to return our phone calls. On the 9th day, I was allowed a rental car for a week. The claims rep gave me a low-ball figure for my ruined car. It is not enough to purchase anything comparable to my vehicle. The claims rep lied to my husband on several occasions, yelled at him, hung up on him, refused to transfer him to a supervisor, told him he could care less about our problems, and will not add days to our rental car until we can find a car to buy. We have never... read full review »

My compliant is that I have a 05 FAT BOY and it uses oil. I called Harley-Davidson customer service and they advised me that it was normal and within specs that new Harley's use one quart of oil every 1500 miles. I feel Harley-Davidson should tell the customer that their new bike more than likely will be using oil. I sure would not buy a new vehicle if I know it will be using oil!!! Nothing is stated in owners manual about oil consumption and they recommend oil change at every 5,000 miles, my question to Harley-Davidson is why change the... read full review »

All of the windows were left open during shipment and the car traveled through very bad weather and rain. The car was filled with seveal inches of water, which destroyed the interior and several electronic modules located under the seats. We contacted DAS to claim the... read full review »

I bought a new Chevy Equinox from Win Kelly Chevrolet. The closure on the deal was stalled for 30 mins. because I wanted the GM zero deductible 5 year 60,000 mile warranty at dealer cost + $ 50. They were not willing to do it and I was planning to go to another dealer. After some internal discussion, the salesman came up with affirmative response, because I told him, I have got 3-similar deals in the past. They showed me GM papers with $1060 as their cost plus $50 as their profit and I purchased the warranty at $1110. At the time of delivery... read full review »

I had a 60K tuneup on my 2003 Toyota Prius on 7/13/06. When I returned in the late afternoon to pick up the car I was given the keys and told to have a nice day. I was ready to drive off when I noticed a 16" crack in my windshield which had not been there when I dropped the car off that morning. When I brought this to the Service Mgrs attention he pointed out a tiny, almost imperceptible little nick at the edge of the windshield and said when they gave me my "complimentary car wash" it must have caused the crack. However... read full review »

In late June of 2006 I took my car (1998 Honda Accord LX) into Free Service Tire and Auto service center located at 4925 Broadway N.E. Knoxville, TN 37918 to have the brakes inspected.

National Auto Shopper is a scam and a complete rip off. I paid them $499 to post my vehicle on a website, list it on ebay and ultimately sell it. They told me they would sell it (probably within 30 days but it could take as long as 90 days) but they would sell my vehicle no matter what and they would sell it for more than I was asking. $1500 more than I was asking. In April I called every two or three days to find out the status of my vehicle. I asked them to lower the price so it would sell. Usually they never returned my phone calls. Finally... read full review »

A warning to people contemplating the purchase of a Saab 9/7x: Beware of this Chevy masquerading as a Saab. I traded my 2005 Saab 9/5 Aero in for a Saab 9/7x, Saab's new SUV model. While I know the car was made in Ohio, I was assured by the salesman, Mike Hollywood of Ellis-Brooks Chevrolet in San Francisco, that this model completely was redesigned in Sweden to Saab standards. Well, seven months and seven thousand miles later, my car has been in the shop nine times. It arrived with broken cup holders and things proceeded from bad to... read full review »

Granted everyone is told to read the fine print. This is wretched. I am selling my vehicle because I bought another and couldn't find my title. I did a Google search for the Florida DMV and this was at the top. Google is supposed to list the search results in order of the most relevant. This site was listed first. http://www.dmv.org/fl-florida/department-motor-vehicles.php?source=google Since the suffix was ".org" I clicked on it.

I went to Belle Tire in Lansing and bought two new tires for the front of my Astro Van. 3 months later I noticed a bulge in the side-wall of the front left tire. I took it in for warranty replacement and the salesman looked at the tire and claimed it was damaged. I pointed out that there was no damage to the rim or tire. He took his ink pen and circled a hair-line crack (which was caused by the bulge) and said it was damage. Long story short, they refused to replace the tire. I called the home office and spoke to the customer rep. who asked if... read full review »

That same day my service writer had contacted me and told me that the computer diagnostic came back regarding the torque converter, which is a fully covered part on the extended warranty.

I purchased a wheel and tire package from the www.thewheelconnection.com They have been a nightmare to deal with . They ruined the tires they mounted by ripping the bead seals and as a result the tires leaked air, and I've had them pop off rim because of it. They were paid and I got nowhere with them other than them saying they are going to take care of it but 2 and a half months later they still have not. They tell me to fax this or that paper then turn off their fax machine, they won't answer when I call most times and if I leave a... read full review »

I've sent the same e-mail to TOYOTA MOTOR ITALIA, but I'm still waiting for a reply. Going on with the details, last 17th of July, I brought my RAV 4, unleaded fuel running, dated 02/2001, because the motor would shut down suddenly after I turned the ignition key. The Toyota workshop after 1 month of searching (that’s what they said), couldn’t find a solution to the problem, and to add insults to injuries, demanded the payment of 530 euro for doing engine repairing (distribution) which hadn’t anything to do with... read full review »

About 6 months ago I had the ABS repaired at a Chrysler dealer in Iowa and paid $600.000 (442 .00 ICU part and 127.00 for labor) to have the Integrated Control Unit replaced (ICU - contains many parts including the ABS pump). I called the dealer in Iowa (McGurk-Meyers Chrysler) and they stated that the parts and labor have a 12 month, 12,000 mile warranty on it (only put 6,000 miles since I had it repaired) and that I could take it to any Chrysler dealer and they would honor the warranty. On Monday night July 10th 2006 I dropped off my... read full review »

I ordered a bumper for my car on June 8, 2006. When the part arrived, it was quite large as you can imagine. It was left by my front door by DHL.

One month later I have not received a credit on my card. I have made numerous attempts to receive my money back.

I have a new 2006 Toyota Corolla. It "clicks" and jerks when shifting from Park to Reverse or Drive to Reverse. The shifter sticks at times when shifting and the car sways when driving. I have had the car to Sierra Toyota in Lancaster five times with no success. Because I am a woman they don't take me seriously. The same is true with the Toyota Corporation. Actually, I get lies from my case worker at Toyota Corp. It seems to me that Toyota's reputation is going downhill fast from my experiences and that of others. read full review »
