    Company is very charming and welcoming to get you to purchase however, they dont care about the customer nor the cars just the money. Financed 2014 Preowned **************** Sentra in 2016. Transmission went out 2019 with about ***** miles they gave me a hassle to replace it and even lied about warranty on it. Replaced with rebuilt CVT transmission Fast forward July ******************************************* the middle of busy road with my children. Notified ****** they dismissed transmission issues and fact that this is common suggest other issues. Asked if the transmission they replaced with in 2019 had a recall or was refurbished? Still no answer. Then after time DEC 2023 state that they cant do anything because of mileage. They want me to get another car with then but cant due to bad equity due to a transmission that THEY REPLACED for the second time. Why would I want another car? I just want out and to be free from these monopolizes. They are very deceitful and dismissive. They lie when you have clear document and receipts. After months of thorough research I see this is very common and its blatantly wrong and unjust. Their actions and negligence has caused so much strife on myself and my children due to this.
