Pontiac Grand Prix Electrical System Instrument Panel Safety Report | Sept 30, 2008
Reported on Sept 30, 2008
| I PURCHASED A VEHICLE. WITHIN 10 MINUTES, STILL IN THE SAME SPOT WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I NOTICED THAT THE DASHBOARD AND THE MILES SEEM TO HAVE BEEN TAMPERED WITH. THERE IS ALSO A STICKER ON THE WINDOW THAT SAYS GET YOUR NEXT OIL CHANGE AT 245K. I DID NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE FACT THAT HE ADVERTISED THE CAR AS HAVING 122K BUT THE ODOMETER READ 116K. HE HAD LEFT HIS HOME AND I HAD TO KEEP CALLING HIM ON HIS CELL PHONE. AFTER FINALLY REACHING HIM, BECAUSE HIS WIFE TOLD HIM THAT THE POLICE WAS AT HIS HOME, I ASKED HIM FOR A REFUND AND HE SAID NO, I DON'T DO REFUNDS FOR NOBODY. THE POLICE AGREED THAT THE DASH AND THE MILES SEEM TO HAVE BEEN TAMPERED WITH BUT IT WOULD BE A CIVIL MATTER AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE HIM TO COURT IF I WANTED A REFUND. HE SAID THAT I CAN SWITCH THE CAR OUT FOR ANOTHER CAR THAT HE OWNED BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY MORE AND THAT CAR DID NOT HAVE THE RIGHT MILES ON IT EITHER. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT HE HAS MANY CASES IN CLAYTON COUNTY THAT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT AGAINST HIM ABOUT CARS. I CALLED AND LEFT MESSAGES ABOUT THE CAR NOT HAVING AND FAILING THE EMISSIONS THAT I PAID FOR AND HE HAS NOT RETURNED ANY OF MY CALLS. I TRIED TO GET AN EMISSION TEST ON OCTOBER 18, 2008 AND IT FAILED. I CALLED HIM AND AGAIN MY CALLS WENT UNRETURNED. *TR | |
