      Complaint Type:
      Service or Repair Issues
      Status:
      Answered
      On 04/24/2024 I went in to look at and purchase a vehicle. The only thing within my price range was this vehicle. After a couple days I returned as the vehicle did not fit my needs as I thought it would and was causing me pain in my groin and following several calls to several different companies for insurance on the vehicle I have found that most insurances will not write a policy for the vehicle and those that will want $350-$700 per month or will only cover if the full 6 months is paid in full. This is due to there being a recall on the Anti-Theft as these vehicles were among the ***** that were being stolen. When I let Coughlin know of all these issues they stated I could not do anything with the vehicle until having owned it for a year and would not take it back. With them being a Dealership not only should the recall had been taken care of prior to the sale, but also a proper inspection check of the car should have been done as brake calipers' need serviced as well as the fuel inductions.
