      I purchased a 2019 ram promaster cargo van from Mitsubishi of Brandon on 9/14. I did most of the process online being being that I travel a lot for work. I read the carfax report on the van and it showed 1 minor accident on the back rear and a vehicle inspection, plus fluid change. Upon getting to the dealership to my surprise it was damage on the front driver side. The door is hitting something when it opens and this is the day of me closing and before I can get home a piece flew off that very side that was apart of front near the driver side. The employee *** said he could get it fixed. Less than 24 hours after driving off the dealership, the ac went out. Found out the whole ac system needs to be changed and $2,000. Plus a mechanic checked the brakes and said the rotors were so bad that it was no way possible that van could have passed the vehicle inspection. I tell the manger Nat this and get nothing. I tried to call the extended warranty that I paid for and they said the dealership didnt activate the warranty so I cant do anything until they activate it. I asked nat for a copy of the vehicle inspection report and to activate the warranty. He said he would and I never heard or could get him on the phone. These people are liars and shady. I firmly believe that fabricated the vehicle inspection and car fax report. Its no explanation on the brakes and rotors being nearly a safety hazard and the ac going out less than a day later. That whole dealership lies and misleads and they shouldnt be allowed to get away with stuff like this. Now Im stuck with already being $1000 in the whole for brakes and rotors and a $2000 bill for the ac. Ive called numerous times and they dodging me.

      STAY AWAY! These guys are scammers. The price on their website and other places is not the price, its ************** They will not negotiate on the phone you have to come in and then when they write up the deal its a MUCH HIGHER price. I went to buy a van advertised at $16,988 after they wrote it up it was almost $25k including all their BS fees. After we negotiated the price down to $21k I signed all the documents and gave them a check for $21k. I was to pick up the van the next day and that next morning I got a call from them saying the manager said he wanted $200 more. I said no, we had a deal. These guys should be shut down for deceptive business practices. DONT FALL for their BS fees, there a lot of other honest places you can buy a car than with these dishonest crooks.

      orida for a day which turned into 2 days and a half. The car would be fixed. Which was farrr from what happened. Mind you everyone reading I'm from ************** which I informed the manager *** and each member I spoke with that I needed reliability. Well after horrible customer service which you can read the unethical and unprofessional these guys are from how they speak and interact with customers. So below you will see these guys explaining that an new fuel pump and starter was placed on the vehicle after providing a first price then taking the price up. Then for me to end up at the dealer the second day of having the car to replace the starter and also fuel pump for 3000 dollars. To then be told something will be done and to again be lied to. I should have purchased a place ticket to get home. If you are beside this place and it's the last place to buy a car. You should walk because this is the worst place of business I've ever stepped into. Not to speak of the finance manager that told me he had to run my credit to verify a cashiers check was real.

      I urgently seek your assistance in addressing a deeply troubling situation stemming from my car purchase from Brandon Mitsubishi on October 2022. My family and I are forced to deal with a car that is hazardous and dangerous to drive due to the dealership's deceptive practices. Despite my clear financial constraints, my inability to afford a lawyer and the critical need for a reliable vehicle, Brandon Mitsubishi engaged in deceptive sales tactics, misrepresented the car's condition, and failed to disclose crucial information about its history, including a front end accident, rental usage, and a damaged transmission. Since the purchase, the vehicle has experienced multiple issues, including a broken water tank, air bag needs repairing, air conditioner and a rapidly failing transmission, which any day now can cause serious harm to my family and I. Despite my persistent attempts, totaling 27 times between October 2022 and September 2023, to exchange the vehicle, Brandon Mitsubishi refused and intentionally ignored my emails, phone calls, and service requests to prolong the warranty, waiting for the warranty to lapse and make it seem as if i were the one at fault, just to leave me stuck with a deteriorating unreliable car. This situation not only violates consumer protection, it violates the ******* Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act (FDUTPA), as well as ********* "as-is" law and statutes laws and also places an immense financial burden on my family and I. I kindly request your intervention to hold the dealership accountable for their actions and seek a full refund of the purchase price plus all the monthly payments dated back from when I first purchased the car to alleviate the financial burden imposed on me . Your immediate attention to this matter is crucial to ensuring consumer protection, but mostly because the transmission is wearing out everyday and without this car my entire family will be without and we will all lose our jobs, a home and our education.

      Complaint: 20909591

      I am rejecting this response because I grapple with a defective vehicle purchased under false pretenses, and the proposed inspection overlooks the fact that the car was sold to me under false pretenses, violating my consumer rights by Brandon Mitsubishi. Their procrastination and unwillingness to fulfill obligations have left me with no choice but to demand a refund. The breach of warranty, deceptive practices, and safety concerns compound the situation. Despite multiple service visits from October 2022 - September 2023 addressing the same issue, the dealership's intentions are questionable and raises suspicions about their motives. Detailed documented evidence, list of problems, including withheld information and a breach of warranty, the dealership is unresponsive and they are procrastinating to run the clock to benefit themselves. The financial strain increases as I am forced to make $580 monthly payments for a compromised vehicle. The safety concerns and deceptive practices amplify the urgency for immediate action to protect my consumer rights. Brandon Mitsubishi's prolonged response is intentional to collect information to cover their bases and get away with fulfilling their obligation to honor my rights protect by ******* state laws. A more effective and swift intervention is crucial to rectify this distressing situation and hold them accountable. I urgently request your intervention to ensure compliance with consumer protection laws. Please be advised I responded to Brandon Mitsubishi General Manager *********************** via email and requested an appointment date and time for inspection. Email is attached.

      Complaint: 20909591

      I regret to inform you that I must decline the provided response. Despite my persistent efforts to reach out to the office, the general manager remains consistently unavailable and has not returned any of my calls. Additionally, my numerous emails, including one in which I proposed specific days and times for an appointment, have gone unanswered.

      While I am dedicated to finding a resolution, the growing challenge lies in the face of continuous unresponsiveness. I am reluctant to continue pursuing the general manager for cooperation and waiting for the appropriate course of action. I find myself at a crossroads, uncertain about the next steps. What alternatives are available to me, and how much longer should I extend courtesy and patience in anticipation of a response? How much longer must I endure being victimized and tolerating this behavior from a business that has proven to be unprofessional and neglectful?

      Despite reaching out for assistance, it is disheartening that everyone involved is allowing the business more leverage to disregard the fact that they have violated state laws. While the lemon law may not be applicable, there are other laws covering used cars, and this company has neglected its obligations, especially concerning the included warranty coverage in the sales. They have breached every section of the warranty and violated the sales contract. Having consulted with lawyers for advice, I am aware that my protection as a consumer is safeguarded by existing laws. I request a assertive and constructive approach to bring about a resolution and rectify this situation promptly.

      Complaint: 20909591

      I am rejecting this response because:

      Upon discovering that an inspection by ***** mechanics at ********************** was possible, it was confirmed that the transmission does have issues as I reported since November 2022 until this present date. I try reaching out to Brandon Mitsubishi through emails and in person conversation. This information has been provided to them and they deny it was even a problem and obviously it is. However, the lack of actions and failed to address the root cause of the problem, another discovery of a secondary issue stems from a faulty aftermarket radiator, which was replaced following an accident in 2021. This information was confirmed and shared to me from experts at Chevrolet Mechanical Shop. This critical information was not communicated to me not once from Brandon Mitsubishi during the sale transaction or even after I started to complain and express concerns about the vehicle and the safety of my children and how much I fear the car and Im afraid something bad can happen.
       
      I've uncovered even more alarming details about the car's history, and it's far worse than I initially feared. Among the reports I've obtained are numerous complaints from other consumers. The first complaint, lodged by a grandmother, recounts a harrowing incident where her granddaughter, the original owner of the vehicle, experienced a sudden deployment of the airbag while driving on the highway. This unexpected event led to a loss of control, resulting in a crash. The concerning aspect here is the lack of accountability in notifying the manufacturer when such incidents occur. According to industry standards, the manufacturer is responsible for addressing defects within the first ***** miles of the vehicle's operation.
       
      The second complaint pertains to significant transmission issues, underscoring its defective nature and the inherent hazards it poses while operating the vehicle, including the risk of gear lock and potential accidents. It is deeply regrettable that the involved mechanic failed to fulfill their responsibility to report this critical failure to the manufacturer. The merging of these two substantial complaints validates my own concerns and complaints, corroborated by the findings in my Carfax report and other external sources. It sheds light on the truth behind Brandon Mitsubishi's deceptive practices, motivated by malicious intent, greediness, and self-serving interests, as they concealed, hid, and lie the long list of troubled history of the vehicle and attempted to shift accountability onto me, thereby ensuring that I remained burdened with the car.
       
      The fact that I, through *******************, was able to uncover this information underscores the expectation that Brandon, as a so-called dependable car dealership, should have undertaken similar due diligence. Instead of purchasing a salvaged vehicle from a junkyard and secretly refurbishing it for profit, they have abused the absence of a Lemon Law for used cars in ******* to exploit gullible consumers. This disgraceful behavior not only highlights a blatant disregard for ethical business practices but also underscores the urgent need for regulatory reform to protect consumers from such predatory practices.
       
      According to both the original owner's complaint and the mechanic's assessment, this vehicle should never have found its way to an auction site for sale, let alone be marketed as salvage/junk. The fact that it was indicates a glaring disregard for safety and ethical standards. Given the vehicle's documented history of danger, driving it not only jeopardizes my life but also the safety of my children. Despite the obvious evidence pointing to the dangers posed by this car, there has been a clear lack of action or attention paid to address the issue. It is abundantly clear that this car belongs in a car crusher, removed from circulation entirely, for the safety of all.
       
      Despite my repeated attempts to seek resolution, it's as if my concerns are bouncing off brick walls. The recurrence of the vehicle's information from all sources of avenues, my attempts to seek solutions, is like a slap in the face, amplifying my frustration and disappointment to astronomical levels. I've endured weeks of inconvenience and financial strain, to the point where I'm scrambling to make ends meet. I'm currently short on rent by a whopping $701.41 and on the verge of receiving a demand letter from the landlord. All this chaos stemmed from the need to fork out having to shell out cash to my uncle just to rent his car because I couldn't afford the exorbitant deposits demanded by rental companies. And yet, despite all these sacrifices, I find myself right back where I started, with no tangible resolution in sight. It's beyond infuriating.
       
      So, what's the plan now? Where does this leave me? Here I am, getting harassed by the bank demanding $580, all because of this worthless excuse for a car. It's not worth a dime, they priced the car at 16K but charged me 28K. The evidence is staring everyone in the face: mechanics have confirmed it, the history information is right there for all to see, picture clear to the naked eye, yet here we are, with everyone demanding for their money and no one giving a **** about the very real dangers I face every time I get behind the wheel. 
       
      It's maddening! Everyone's spinning their lies and pointing fingers at me, while the real issue the safety of myself and my loved ones gets swept under the rug. Where's the humanity in all of this? Who's finally going to step up and do the right thing? Because right now, it feels like I'm the only one left holding the bag, and it's bursting at the seams with injustice.

      Sincerely,

      Brandon Mishibishu is engaging in deceptive pricing practices. They market the price of their vehicles are significantly marked down and then when you come into the dealership, they are increasing the price of the vehicle by deceptively adding fees for things that are not a part of selling price. They do not disclose the details of pricing fees and hide profits in fees that are outside of the dealer fee allowed by ******* law. For example, on my service contract they charged me ****** for an electronic registration filing fee to register my vehicle with the Florida Highway Safety and Motor vehicles. The issues that I am most upset about, I am trying to cancel the extended warranty for my vehicle, they are claiming they will cancel it but have not initiated any refund to the extended warranty company. I purchased my vehicle on 10/20/2023 and requested it cancelled on 10/21/2023. They indicated it is in process, but when I call Protective, the customer service representatives indicates that the dealership has still not cancelled my extended warranty. I have to cancel within 30 days to receive a full refund and after which fees will be applied, the dealership appears to be pushing out the 30-day timeframe to not honor the refund policy. My vehicle registration was transferred from another car so I by ******* law should not have paid over $400 in registration fees. Please investigate they dishonest pricing practices.

      Complaint: 20862819

      I am rejecting this response because: It should not take 2 months to go "through funding." The process has been funded and both the warrant servicer and my loan lender confirmed that the warranty has been active for the last month and has been paid out. I am paying interest on the funded amount everyday. The dealership is lying. Both protective and my loan servicer says that the dealership simply needs to release the funds back to the loan lender and initate cancellation with the warrant administrator, which they have not done yet. The warranty servicer says the process of refund does not take very long once the dealership request the refund. They just have not requested it yet. They are actively delaying the process and i will get to the bottom of why. What is the reason that when I called these companies they say the dealership has taken NO action to cancel or refund? It tells me that they are most likely delaying the process to balance their financial books foe the end of the year rather than respect my request. Please advise when I can expect my refund. I will also be requesting a thorough transparent investigation into this matter.

As you only requested a cancellation for my policy 12/28/2024. Endurance also confirmed that you'd dragged your feet and initiated the request 4 days after you time period for a full refund. As of 01/03/2024,  I / nor my loan servicer have received a check so you are outside you own refund period.  I will be requesting a full investigation into this matter. You made no attempts to provide proof of cancellation when I requested it 10/24/2023. I made calls and you failed to return them on several occasions. Best

      Sincerely,

      On 10/8/2023 my daughter and I went to buy a 2019 ***** CX3 that was advertised for $13,990. We arrived at 12:15 PM and after a few minutes were shown the car and took on a short test drive. Before 1 PM, we told our sales person ***** that we would like to purchase the car, he confirmed that the sales price was $13,990. I asked what other fees there were and he said $995 dealer prep and tax, title and tags. We were not doing a trade in and I intended to pay for the car outright. I was told shortly after that their advertised price was requiring the use of dealer provided financing, if cash there would be $1,000 fee. I said ok, ************ it. After 1 hour I asked where we were at and told there were other deals, I did ask if there was a fee for using a credit card and was told they would accept up to $4,000 down payment on credit. We waited until 4:30 until finally insisting we see the paperwork. The said with the $4,000 down the payment was $380 a month, then I say that the had added over $7,000 in dealer fees making the total over $22,000. They refused to remove this mandatory fees and I walked out with a few choice words. Idk t know if you can do anything about this, but this is criminal. I dont know if it was because I could obviously afford mor or why this happened, but it is false advertising

      I was charged by the dealer for car tag registration. However, when I went to the *** to do my renewal they said my car has never been registered. I had been driving without a registration for months. I want a refund but no one is responding to my inquiries.
