I am rejecting this response because: The vehicle worked less than 10 days. The first day we had the vehicle it ran hot and we brought it back to the dealership. Two days later the check engine light came on.
Sincerely,

I paid $5,500 for a vehicle from this location. 6 days later the car started shaking and became undrivable. The check engine light was on due to high temp. I had my car towed to an Auto Zone to assess issues. I had it towed from Auto Zone to the dealership. They performed the repairs on my vehicle and things were fine for a few days costing $146. 7 days later the same issues came back.Business response

I went to purchase a vehicle. I signed a contract, $300 down and then then $2200 when I came back to get it. It didn&#**;t pass inspection and now they are trying to charge me an additional $200. When I spoke to them about it they just wanted to return the deposit. I wanted the car, not the deposit back.Business response
