Drive Time sold me a 1997 Camero RS LEMON. I selected this car because it had everything I was looking for in a car like; CD player, air conditioning, leather seats, power windows & locks, a remote control to unlock the doors and trunk, and T-top roofs.
Well come to find out this car DID NOT have half the list above. When I test drove the car it was raining in Georgia and also nobody had a CD to listen to the CD player so I took the salesmans word that the CD player worked.
When I got home I put a CD in the deck and all it read was "CD ERROR". I called Drive Time the next day to tell them the CD player didn't work and they told me they can't do anything because it's not covered under warrenty and the CD player was an important reason why I choose this car.
Next the windows wouldn't roll up and it was pouring down rain in Georgia. Then the door locks go out. Then the remote for the locks went out. Then the T top was broken and the T top flew off the car and broke the glass. The emergency break would get so HOT that it burned my five year old sons leg, leaving him in tears. The gear changer would also get extermely hot too.
It started to get hot in Georgia so now it's time to turn on the air conditioning. Guess what there was NO AC IN THE CAR WHEN THEY SOLD IT TO ME and after they "said" they fixed the AC that's when the following major problems started happening. The check engine light stayed on. There was smoke and a poisonous smell coming out of the vents. There was no power when I drove the car. The left side head light went out. The engine belt came off the car while I was driving it and the steering wheel locked up on the road and I almost died. The car would overheat. The radiator was rusted and it leaked bad.
The final event was when I got the car out of the shop the fifth time getting the AC fixed and paying my bi-weekly payment, two days later the batttery and alternater went out. That's when the mechanic who worked for Drive Time told me this car was a LEMON and I just need to leave it on the lot for a self repo.
All the six times my car went into the shop to get fixed they would keep the car for a week or more, leaving me with no car. I called Drive Time to see if I could get a rental and they said no. All they were worried about was when was I going to make my next payment.
The camero is still in the shop and I will do all I have to do to make this situation on my behalf a Happy one!
