November ****** I put a holding (escrow) payment on a 2015 infinity. I paid with my debit card. I was told the vehicle will not be sold. Nov 8th the vehicle was sold and I was not aware until I called. The vehicle was never taken down offline which they guaranteed they would. They also said they would refund me my ****** back and its been a week and they are beating around the ****. They are aware I am not from VA and I would have to spend about that much to get there. So all is a loss if the money is not refunded. Car cloud auto group is has an online website with great reviews. I wouldnt imagine someone having to go through this loss just so the company can stay a float.Business Response

On March 1, 2024, #1 A **************************** purchased a vehicle from Car Cloud Auto Group. Prior to the purchase, Car Cloud Auto Group advised LifeSafer that the vehicles coolant was leaking but claimed to have fixed the issue. After receiving confirmation that this issue was fixed, LifeSafer, relying on this information, purchased the vehicle. Within 2 weeks of purchase, the vehicle was inoperable due to the same leaking coolant issue. LifeSafer immediately contacted Car Cloud Auto Group to discuss a resolution. For 3 weeks after notice was provided, Car Cloud Auto Group avoided LifeSafers phone calls and turned away LifeSafer representatives. After weeks of Car Cloud Auto Groups refusal to address the leaking coolant issue, LifeSafer had the vehicle inspected by a third party, who advised that the vehicle did in fact have an issue with leaking coolant and would need an engine replacement. LifeSafer would not have purchased the vehicle but for its reliance on Car Cloud Auto Groups confirmation that the vehicle was fixed and working properly. LifeSafer was misled into purchasing the vehicle. LifeSafer requested a full refund from Car Cloud Auto Group or an agreement to replace the engine at no cost. Car Cloud Auto Group denied both requests. To resolve this matter, LifeSafer requests a full refund from Car Cloud Auto Group or an agreement to replace the engine at no cost.Customer Answer

Hi there. The name associated with the complaint can be *************************. I am submitting the complaint on behalf of our company, #1 A LifeSafer Distribution, Inc.Business Response

Tell us why here...We take customer satisfaction seriously and have thoroughly reviewed the circumstances surrounding this transaction. As per our records, the vehicle in question was sold "as is," with the buyer acknowledging this fact at the time of purchase. Additionally, our records indicate that there was no coolant leak at the time of purchase.
After receiving notice of the vehicle's inoperability due to a coolant leak, Car Cloud Auto Group attempted to address the matter by offering a solution that would entail the installation of a used engine for $4000. However, this offer was declined by the buyer.
It's important to note that Car Cloud Auto Group fulfilled its obligation to disclose known issues with the vehicle and provided the buyer with an opportunity to inspect the vehicle and have it examined by a third party mechanic prior to purchase. Furthermore, the buyer explicitly agreed to purchase the vehicle in its current condition, "as is," without any implied warranties or guarantees.
While we regret any inconvenience experienced by the buyer, we stand by the terms of the sale agreement and maintain that Car Cloud Auto Group has acted in accordance with industry standards and regulations.Customer Answer

I have reviewed the offer and/or response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint.We would first like to stress that we were not offered an extended warranty by the sales manager at any point. We purchased the vehicle after we were informed you fixed the vehicle so that it would no longer leak coolant and had performed proper inspections so that the vehicle was ready for purchase.
Further, you stated that after receiving notice of the vehicles inoperability due to a coolant leak, you attempted to address the matter, yet for three weeks after providing notice, LifeSafer representatives were turned away (both on the phone and in person) and told that the sales manager who could address the issue was out sick when she was really no longer employed at Car Cloud Auto Group. For weeks, LifeSafer was left with an inoperable vehicle and was refused any discussion of resolution, causing an unreasonable delay in diagnosing and pursuing repair of the issue.
In light of the circumstances outlined above, we again assert we were misled into purchasing the vehicle and request that you reimburse us for our repair costs, which are estimated at $3,621.70.Regards,

We purchased a ***** Pilot from Car cloud auto on 1/13/2024. Car cloud auto took a check for $5000 as a down payment, but then asked me to to lie to their finance company if they called to verify the amount. My husband and I told them we would not do this. 30 days later (yesterday) when we had not received the tag and our temp tag expired we called car cloud and were told we would have to pay them to send the tag to us. When I asked why they had not already sent the tag as promised, the associate ******* became angry and called me social trash. They still have not sent tag.Business Response
