Unfortunetly I found my way to these con artists by a relative. I had heard that it was easy to get financed by drivetime because it was in house finacing, and I had no credit at the time and I was turned down by multiple dealerships. I ended up getting a 2002 ford taurus and it all went down hill from there. When I purchased the car the manager told me of a few things that he noticed that were wrong with the car when he drove it (which didn't seem to bring down the price of the car). One thing was that there was a thumping sound and slight vibration/thumping when driving, also that the face place for the audio system was loose. So he made an appiontment to bring in the car to be repaired at the riverside office.
The service man there told me the thumping was caused by a dented rim. He replaced it and I thought everything would be fine. About a week later the thunping came back and got worse and the brakes started making a really loud squeak noise and made a grinding feel in the brake pedal. So I called to bring it in again and I had to take it to montclair. I ended up going there three diffent times for the same problems and another problem which was a sqeak in the engine. They ended replacing the rotors, brakes twice, repaired the right drive axle, and deglazed the brakes.
You would think by then all my problems would be fixed but no. Again there is a thumping and it's the worse that's ever been, so bad that it makes the steering wheel vibrate violently, the car vibrate, and the brakes are sqeaking still with the grinding sensation. It's to the point where I do not feel safe driving my two kids in the car. So, I ended up purchasing a good car and I am thinking of letting Drivetime do me a favor and reposses the crap car they sold me. Do not deal with these people they will only take advantage of you. If any one has any advice for me email me I am looking for some good advice
