  More info

  I bought a car from Mega Auto sales and as soon as I went to turn it on the engine sounded like something was loose and check engine light went on the next day. I called them let them know the issue they asked me to drive it 1 hr away to their shop in which they would take a look. They said they had fixed the issue the following weekend after I picked it up the check engine light came back on. I called them again but it was between holidays. They told me I could take it to a local mechanic and that a warranty I bought would pay. I spoke to that warranty company and they told me it was not a sure thing they would cover it and if it was denied I would have to pay out of pocket which I do not make enough money to pay the bills and still have to deal with paying for a car that has had issue after issue since I bought it. 2 months after it started saying it needed oil we went to get an oil change and about every 3 weeks I have to add more oil as it marks low oil. About 2 months ago it started asking for coolant Ive have to add some 3 times since then. Now the break lights has come on. When I bought it I was told it had no issues and when I picked it up I noticed a hit on the rear passenger door which does not let the door seal properly. My doors get stuck when trying to open them which is a safety hazard because if I need to get out of the car urgently the door could get stuck. My windows get stuck and wont go down. When I bought it I was not given any carfax or any information on the car it seemed as all they wanted to do was sell it. I have called them about my issues and my bank said they should be able to take the car back and cancel the loan or buy it back from me since it has not been 6 months. I am going back in today to see if something can be done because I cant be paying for such an unreliable car.

  I purchased this vehicle June 23rd 2023 for 14,999$ and after everything was said and done its a total of $20,000. i love my vehicle but i have had it for 4 months and i have had to replace the catalytic converters, that was a pretty *****. as well as having mass oil consumption, the convertible top is completely broken thats a $5,000 repair and the top itself is not in good condition it is ripped and coming up from the vehicle. there are parts inside of the vehicle falling off in result of the top being insufficient. i had to replace a seal so that water would not get in my vehicle. the worst part about it is i have had to take my vehicle to a ****** dealership because not once but twice my engine is having a cylinder misfire. i am writing you on 10/50/2023 and as of today my car has been unsafe to drive for 4 days. i love this car a lot but im disappointed that it was given to me in such poor quality and needs thousands in parts replacements including a possible engine replacement.

  Dear *********************, 
  

  We at Mega Auto Sales LLC in Wenatchee, WA. have received your complaint and we would like to address it. We have pulled the records in our system regarding the vehicle (2012 ****** 370z VIN#*****************) we sold you as well as all the paperwork for your deal specifically. 

  Unfortunately it is not possible for us to foresee the issues that *** occur after you drive off the lot. It is why we strongly encourage all of our customers to purchase a service contract which would have covered the multiple misfire issues. The opportunity to purchase the service contract was presented to you at the time of sale but was not purchased. Paperwork signed by you also clearly stated that the vehicle would be sold As Is and nothing was promised from us, Mega Auto Sales, on the Due Bill document. You were able to inspect the mechanical condition of the vehicle as well as drive it before signing the paperwork and finalizing the deal. 
  Due to the fact that mechanical issues with the convertible top were disclosed to you as well as you negating the purchase of the service contract, we will not be able to ***************** refund that you have requested. 
  
  Thanks you again,

  I am rejecting this response because: Thats incorrect during the test dive the salesman stated all Mega vehicles came with a warranty, and that option was not offered to me. The only option offered to me was if i total the car its paid off by Mega which isnt needed. I was aware about the top and thats not the issue im complaining about. I did have time to look and evaluate the car, but i feel the dealer couldve been honest about the condition of the car after they stated its sat there for months and people passed on it. Not only that EVERYTIME you started that vehicle as a dealer you know all that smoke is not supposed to come out of the exhaust and its burning oil. I do not accept this response and even if its not a refund or anything at all i would at least like some accountability for selling a lemon, among many others as i see mega vehicles broken down on the side of the road frequently. I have all the paperwork, and i have all the records for maintenance thus far. I will be in contact with a lawyer and we will go from there. 
  
  Sincerely,

  Issues with this business Mega Auto Sales of Wenatchee hasn't taken any consideration for selling me a car with tons of issues. The transmission wasn't even mentioned in my complaint. And they are acting as if they were involved or helped in anyway shape or form. The Au is the extended warranty that I purchased when I bought the car. A added expense of $4,000 when I purchased the ***** 6. Even though Mega presents this implied warranty. They failed to compensate for any of the cost inquired by this repair. The person speaking on behalf of mega autosales is unaware of the cost or  coverage as provided in the documents submitted. Insurance refused to pay full amount.  And previous repairs including body damage due to there negligence has yet to be resolved. After my vehicle being In the shop for 18 days. I have regained ownership of it. Made a attempt to make. A appointment to get previous issues addressed. Mega auto sales returned parts. Due to cancelation of appointment because vehicle was in repair. Now awaiting date as to when parts might be available. Mega autosales has yet to honor any part of the implied warranty, and or failed to reimburse for cost associated with repairs. Failed to provide any kind of rental car. And or failed to make any contact with insurance Company. This was all done by me. And 1 other ex financial manager that quit the business because of the scams and scandalous actions brought forth by this company.

  On August 29th bbb sent Me this statement. BBB contacted the above referenced company on multiple occasions regarding your complaint.  To date, we have not received a reply; therefore, BBB is obligated to close your complaint as a "no response," which will be reported to the public for the next three years. 

  Then just so happens they respond 1 day later? The 2nd message from you somehow went in my spam folder and I never saw it. This company has degraded me. Put me down. Neglected me. Treated me unfairly. I should just *** instead. But no they haven't resolved a thing and pushed this all out to avoid a lemon law situation. Mega autosales sold me a vehicle that was unsafe to drive and not mechanically sound.

  The transmission shop repaired the transmission. But and with it under warranty it failed and is being replaced and under warranty. Once repaired and back in my possession I will be in contact with Wenatchee mega autosales to have the rest of the issues addressed. Such as high idle. Bad catalytic converters. Temp sensor. Body damage to be repaired due to shop damaging it. Mega autosales had made attempt to fix one of the issues but due to mechanical failure they were unable to do so. So they returned the parts to repair 1 of the diagnosed problems. Problem I have here is I traded in a vehicle and was given a ridiculous price for it and you could still drive it. Like I was given ****** for a car worth *****. I want a rebate on the car I have purchased due to the fact I purchased on the 28th of July and only had it in my possession for 17 days until mechanical breakdown. And i still don't have my car and I'm making the car payment. ************* payment. And I paid for the warranty that is fixing the car . Mega Auto sales should reimburse me the price of the warranty as this is a mechanical failure they should be responsible for.

  Good afternoon *******, I do see here in our **************** Appointments that we have you scheduled to get the Catalytic Converters replaced at no cost to you, as far as covering any other expenses that is something we would not be responsible for. We are replacing the Catalytic Converters as those were noted on your Due Bill at the time of purchase.

  I'm sorry but I feel this resolution is minute to the problems being addressed. Please show me on the due bill where this states just the catalic converters are the only thing being address. This was a agreement with a former finance manager at the moses lake mega autosales because he obviously knew how to keep his customers happy. If you look at the proof I have provided for you you it states the following. From the auto parts store the dealer took the car too you have the following codes to be addressed. Idle air control system higher then expected. This is still a issue to this date. Causing more wear and tare on engine. Bad fuel consumption. And higher fuel toxins. Insufficient coolant temp for stable operation.

  Coolant thermostat , catalysts  system. Park neutral switch input circuit. The recommended throttle cleaning was done by Wenatchee mega auto sales but nothing changed. They cleared the codes and attempted to send me on my way. The shop damaged my car in the process of it being in there possession and is failing to take any responsibility about this car and its problems.

  Was unable to fix the high idle. A bad catalytic converter won't cause a vehicle to idle at **** rpms constantly. I want a break on this vehicle and if it requires the hiring of a attorney to do so. I have a few interested parties.  I want a rebate on my vehicle as I paid a extra $4500.00 for a extended warranty that was supposed to last me the life of the loan. And it was expunged by the end of the first month. And I had to pay out of pocket for the replacement of the transmission and clutch and labor and shipping and waste when mega autosales should have forked out the bill. I will continue to pursue this issue until repaires are made. Nothing is wrong with my car as it was supposed to be the day I purchased it.

  So today is October 18th 2023, I was scheduled to have my catalytic converter replaced today by mega auto sales. I messaged mega auto sales and inform them of when I would be arriving. I was Informed they would forward the message to I'm guessing the mechanics shop at mega auto sales. I arrived ontime. I sat in the waiting room after giving up my keys to the person in charge of making sure repairs were to be done. I decided to go ahead and take pictures of my old catalytic  converter to compare to the new one they were suppose to replace in the parking lot of mega autosales. I was informed there staff was short for the day. Couldn't guarantee they could get it done today. No offer of rental or anything. I was informed they called  a local shop to have the work done. They called ******************* service **** In Wenatchee. And told me they were going to do the work Instead and mega auto sales of wenatchee would cover the bill

   I was given directions to the shop I was referred to. Before I left mega autosales I asked ******** the person in charge of getting the repairs done if I was going to be paid for my fuel this time being I had to drive 1 1/2 hrs from my residence to have the work done. And I was Informed no! I'm guessing they are feeling the heat and I don't care they have a responsibility to take care of my car until  I'm satisfied. So here I am at the shop. No part in hand. The shop had no idea I was coming. The shop had no idea who was paying until I told him the whe story about the car.  Mega auto sales called and asked them how much the labor would be as a quote and that was it. Nothing more was said. So now I'm waiting for mega autosales to bring the part they supposedly ordered here to have the catalytic converter replaced. This is just one of my issues with the car and until I no longer have any check engine lights on, on my new car. Mega autosales will be responsible. No if ands or butts. I sure hope this dealership has a good attorney. You'll need one by the time I get done. You took advantage of me. sold a lemon to the wrong guy!!!!! You don't and won't back your word or guarantee. You won't stand behind your customers. You seem not to care about the relationships you build with your customers it's just that all mighty dollar. 1 more car in. 1 more car out.

  Matter in fact the company has failed to comply with their own signed contract. I will be pursing this further. I have hired a attorney and will be placing a law suit against mega autosales. Thank you.

  More info

  I purchased a car from Mega Auto Sales back in October of 2022. After finding multiple forged signatures in paper work that I never received from the dealer, only later seeing it from my loan company, I ended up canceling the questionable warranty that "came" with the car. The warranty was canceled in early January 2023, but was not filed until January 31st. The warranty was canceled February 3, 2023 and I was told my loan company would receive a check for $3660.39 in 6-8 weeks. We are approaching week 13 and I've called and gone in asking what the status of the check is to which they reply, "we'll get back to you." What do I do?

  Complaint: 20020271
  
  I am rejecting this response because:

  The business claims not to have received info from the warranty company. That is just not true. I had the warranty company reach out to MEGA multiple times as they not only received the warranty cancelation check, but also accepted/deposited back in January. 

  I did receive a call from mega saying they are waiting for for the gap insurance check to come in. I asked them how much that check would be and the replied "under $1000." To which I replied, "how much exactly?" It took me 1 question to figure out what they couldn't figure out in 5 months, I did not have gap insurance and they were waiting on an imaginary check before they were going to send out my actual check. 

  The car is almost paid off and no thanks to their negligent business practices I've had to pay more interest than necessary. I still do not have the check/money back from cancelation and they still have no signs of sending it out. I would like this actually solved and not just another phone call showing that they don't know anything. 

  Sincerely,
