Purchased a 2019 Frontier in June. As soon as I left the lot the check engine light came on and the traction control activated on every turn. Apparently this truck missed the so called detailed "Inspection" they claim todo before offering vehicles for sale.Long story short truck was in shop for 2 weeks when I got it back, the traction issue was fixed but none of the steering wheel control buttons worked, Airbag light was flashing and the check engine light was still on despite them telling me they fixed everything. They blatantly lied and said they fixed the check engine light (Catalyst system) the first time when all they did was reset the light.Dropped the truck off again they had it for over a week, Was told it was ready, Drove over a hour yet again to pick it up and the airbag light is still on. Was told they would send someone to my home to recalibrate it. They now ignore text messages when I ask when he is coming. **************** is horrible. I honestly think that the only reason they fixed most of the issues is because I hounded them so much and left a bad review that I said I would update after they finished.So now my airbag light is still flashing, My gear shift k*** was not installed correctly, the wires for the passenger airbag sensor are spliced together, TPMS light is still on because the sensor is bad (Auto Market installed the tires)Due to the incompetence the service department and the techs have shown while they had it for the first two weeks, I'm not even sure if I should trust any of the repairs.I have nothing good to say for Auto Market of Florida. I recommend everyone looking to purchase a vehicle to run as fast as you can away from this place.They did reimburse me for a payment i made but I had to fight for that to get done.Every issue I have should have been taken care of before the truck was offered for sale. I suffered the effects of their negligence being out of a vehicle for all that time and dealing with the issues it still has.Business response

I am rejecting this response because: Every issue that is wrong with the truck was present when it was purchased and should have been noticed during the " detailed Inspection" before it was offered for sale, So I am not sure why you would say that you fixed it as a goodwill gesture. When I dropped the truck off and service had it for 2 weeks I was lied to and told that parts were ordered for the catalyst issue when in fact all they did was reset the engine light. Why was I told that the truck was ready when the airbag light was clearly flashing? There is no way the service tech did not notice that when he said the truck was done. Why should I have to pay $95 diagnostic fee to have you fix issues that were caused by your service department? The airbag light and gear shift k*** were not an issue until your guys worked on the truck. I am usually not one to leave bad reviews, I only did so because I was being ignored by customer service. I would really appreciate if the owner would contact me via email to explain Auto Markets response to my reviews.
Sincerely,

The final inspection conducted by our Sales team with the new buyer is designed to ensure that the buyer thoroughly verifies the vehicle and acknowledges any issues at that time. If any issues are identified, the Sales team generates an "I Owe You" form, authorizing our service team to address those concerns. In this particular instance, you reviewed and signed the inspection sheet, confirming there were no issues with the vehicle (see attached inspection sheet).
However, following the purchase, you presented our service team with a list of issues, including cosmetic concerns, and threatened to post negative reviews unless these were addressedreviews which you posted regardless. In an effort to resolve the matter and maintain your satisfaction, our Service Manager agreed to address your concerns, even going beyond our standard policy by providing a reimbursement check for your rental and waiving a car payment. Typically, rental reimbursement is provided to ensure you can continue making vehicle payments, so the waiver of a payment constitutes what we refer to as "double-dipping."
Given these circumstances, moving forward, we will adhere strictly to our standard procedures and the terms set by the warranty company. This means you will need to pay a $95 diagnostic fee, after which we will inspect the vehicle and coordinate with the warranty company for coverage. Please note that we will not provide any further rental reimbursements or ***** extensions on your car payments.
Best regards,Service Director

Please show me when I threatened to leave a review. I never once threatened to post anything. After I was lied to and ignored I posted a review and said I was giving Auto Market the chance to make it right before I updated the review, Good or Bad.All I want is answers as to why I was lied to and told that issues were being repaired when they actually did not get replaced, They only got replaced due to me questioning it and sending multiple emails. The cosmetic issues were caused by your service department while the truck was in there the first 2 weeks. As per a car fax purchased by me after the fact the Steering Column was replaced by Auto Market in April of 2024, Why was the truck offered for sale with the issues it had with the steering column? I did not test drive the truck but I was told that it went through an extensive inspection process before being offered for sale and that issues within the first 3 months are covered. I am not "Double Dipping" I am simply wanting to be treated fairly. I was sold a truck that was in the shop more than I drove it. I feel I am entitled to more than I received. You reimbursed me $339. the deferred payment was what I requested because I missed out von a lot of overtime at work due to the truck being in the shop so long, All that did was pushed the payment to the end so it's not like I don't have to pay it.
I don't understand why I will have to pay the $95 fee if I bring the truck back in to have you fix what the service department messed up.
Sincerely,
*******************Business response

Please contact our ****************** to schedule an appointment. Per our Service Director, ******, we will waive the diagnostic fee and address the airbag issue and the shift k*** only. However, we will not be providing any rental reimbursements or extensions on payments.
We also hope that you will consider removing the negative reviews that were posted on various websites.Customer response

Complaint:I appreciate the effort into fixing the airbag light and shift k*** as previously promised. However I have an issue with Auto Market not taking any responsibility and acting as if you were doing me a favor by completing the repairs. Stating that they were not even under warranty. When the fact is that the steering column was replaced in April by Auto Market, surprisingly most of the issues had something to do with the steering column. I also have not gotten any explanation as to why I was lied to when I was told the catalyst system was repaired the first time the truck was in the shop when all they did was reset the check engine light again, just like they did before I bought it.
I do thank you for actually fixing the Catalyst issue the second time.
Honestly I do not have the tie to take off work and drive all the way to the dealership to drop the truck off yet again to have repairs made that should have been taken care of when it was in service. At this point I will take the truck to my local ****** dealer and have them repair any existing issues.
As for the reviews they were made because I was getting ignored. I have since deleted the Yelp and ********* the only one remaining is ******* I will consider removing it if I can get an explanation as to why these issues were not fixed prior to sale, why they werent addressed the first time I had the truck in service and why the check engine light was reset instead of lying to me saying that parts were replaced. Basically I just want Auto Market to accept responsibility and not act as if they are doing me a favor.
Sincerely,

This place is a nightmare. I bought my car in December 2023. I started having problems with the check engine light in march 2024. I serviced the car at a ******* dealer and then 2 days later the check engine light came back on. I went to get a diagnostic test done and was told I have a vacuum leak and Im having transmission problems. After that, the check engine light would come on and off every couple days. And then I started to have problems with the car accelerating . I called auto market to let them know that the car is giving me so much problems and that I would like to exchange it for another car. I was told someone will call me back. I proceeded to call them every single day until June and no one ever called me back. Not once. I was working out of the state for a couple months so it wasnt possible for me to visit the store until I got time off from work to drive back down to Florida. I called and called and called and I was told the same thing every time. Someone will call you back. I finally was able to get time of work and drive 12 hours back to Florida to visit the store. On 6/14/24 I went to the store to ask about exchanging and I was told that a manager has to be there to sign off the exchange. I was never told this over the phone. So I decided to stay in town until Monday so that a manager can sign off the exchange that Monday 6/17. I went to the front desk and was told the car has to go to service before the exchange so I walk over to service and let them know what the front desk told me. The service manager said I have to make an appt for it to get serviced and there was nothing that he could do until I made an appt. So I drove 12-HOURS for nothing ! All someone had to do was tell me this over the phone during the hundred times I called. It couldve been that simple. They wasted my time and no one even cared. I dont want to do business with them anymore. I want to return the car and be done. I will take my business and money elsewhere.Business response

In July 2023 I purchased a Mazda from Auto Market of Florida. I pay over 600 per month. I paid 2k as a down payment. I came intending to purchase an suv for the biweekly price listed on the website at 23% apr. it was around 130, when I got to finance they presented the vehicle at 260 at 23% apr roughly biweekly which is double what their website advertised. When I brought it up the finance employee said then don’t get the car and said that’s how it is. He wouldn’t budge. I saw the next morning that the vehicle had an egregious amount of mold and brought it back within the 3 day period as I’m allergic to mold. They fought with me for an extended period of time to allow them to clean it and have me keep it. I refused. I switched into a 2013 Cadillac SRX which the check engine light came on in the middle of the test drive and I was assured they would repair it. I have brought my car back in about four times for repairs it now has more issues than it started with, and I requested that I had the car exchanged for another one because I had been informed that they can do, and I have spent over the last two days about six hours having them ineffectively diagnose the car but also the second day I received close to zero communication with anyone. The communication I received from the sales manager was I could not switch my vehicle because the service manager had to approve it, but the service manager told me he cannot approve it because the sales manager had to approve it which I know not to be true. My vehicle is twice the price it was listed as on their website biweekly at the same apr, slams on the brakes on the highway while cruising, struggles to pass from my engine going limp, consumes oil excessively, and vibrates extremely on the highway. I’ve given them plenty of time and opportunities to fix it and every time they have fallen short. Also their account managers are painfully unyielding. While hospitalized they turned off my car and refused to help.Business response

It is our priority to ensure that each customer feels comfortable with the terms of their purchase and has a clear understanding of the contractual obligations, including warranty coverage.Regarding the reported issues with your vehicle, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you have experienced. To thoroughly inspect the vehicle and identify any potential concerns, we kindly request that you ensure the vehicle has an adequate amount of gas. This will enable our team to conduct a comprehensive examination and address any issues that may arise.

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:I brought the vehicle in for repair for the same issues 3 or 4 times without successful repair.
I was made aware of the possibility of a vehicle swap and requested it where I was told they would have to look at the vehicle.
Following that I brought the vehicle to the shop for 3 hours Tuesday and they weren’t able to diagnose the vehicle properly, which is interesting because most concerns are easily spotted. The service manager requested I bring it back again for a better mechanic to look at it.
The following day the communication was so inefficient that for two of the three hours I had no idea what was going on and what next steps were. Then my vehicle was with a mechanic in the shop for an hour after they were going to “get more gas” after the hour they brought it back saying they weren’t able to get more gas and to come back again, I could have put gas in my vehicle upon request but the mechanic said he would ask his manager if he could put gas. It took over 60 minutes to ask for gas from his supervisor, my time isn’t being respected.

This company has gone against terms, clearly stated on a contract that came with initial purchase agreement. Complete negligence towards any resolution on the matter for over three months now. I have a $4000 balance reported to all three credit bureaus in addition to pending litigation from an outside collections agency because of this company’s negligence. The promised coverage has not been received even after all the requirements on the consumers end has been fulfilled. My phone number has been blocked by this company.

Thank you for contacting us regarding this issue. However, the customer already made us aware on 06/15/23 of an error in her account. We communicated to her that we would make the necessary corrections, however this could take between 1 to 2 weeks. It has been 6 days since customer contacted us. We understand the customer's frustration and wish we could resolve this in a matter of hours, unfortunately some cases require more time. Since we have spoken to the customer, 1) The litigation process has been closed. 2) A CPI insurance claim has been filed in order to cover the entire balance of her loan and adjust to a $0 balance paid off loan. Once all these adjustments have been made, it may take 30-45 days for this to reflect in her credit bureau.Business response

I purchased a car from this establishment back at the end of October. In the four months since I’ve had the car I’ve only had the car for a total of two months. The first incident happened in Feb and they took 6 weeks to replace my transmission. In the contract there is a page that states that I was entitled to take the vehicle to a mechanic to check the vehicle and I was not allowed too. I was told that the car was in good condition and that it was needed. Then two weeks ago my car tires exploded on the highway due to having old tires placed. After that the car left me on the side of the road and I had to replace all the coils and the spark plugs because they had never been changed in a car that was sold to me at 185k miles. Now the break in the car has an issue and although they claimed they would see the car today I was asked to leave the car overnight for them to run diagnostics again leaving me without a car.Business response

I am rejecting this response because: when I brought the car I was told the check was not necessary not that it was advised. According to the reviews I have found online about your establishment what I am saying lines up with the types of vehicles and the quality of coverage provided. The 24 month/ 24k warranty is worth nothing if you people keep delaying repairs in order to get past the 2 year mark. I have brought in the car several times and the issues continue. Your response is redundant and only shows that you have no records and or reasons not to be up keeping your side of the bargain. I have continuously asked for the records indicating what repairs were done to the car for my records and all I received were the records for the change of the transmission. At this point the company is just trying to spin circles around their breach of contract. I expect to be fully reimbursed for every issues that we have had with the car and has not been taken care off.******** *******
