On 12-23, I bought a Pontiac Montana Van from Taylor Chrysler jeep. It had 53229 miles on it. The day I picked up the vehicle, it overheated. I brought it back same day, and they added the coolant to the vehicle. I went on a four hour trip, and Van overheated. I added coolant. It did not overheat, but started to loose power. I brought it back to Taylor Jeep. They diagnosed it as intake manifold leaking. They replaced the gasket. After, I picked up the vehicle, I got the oil change done elsewhere. Slight clicking noise started to sound from engine. The vehicle had now over three thousand miles on it since I purchased it.
By the time clicking noise started to become a nuasance, I had another oil change done. Now, the noise really became louder. The family mechanic told me that it was lifter noise. Now van needs lifter work or an engine.
I contacted the dealership manager Mr. Sanford. He tried to tell me that now I had about 6 thousand miles on it, and its been 6 months ago, that I had bought the vehicle, so you are out of luck.
Mr. Sanford tried to show me a paper that I had declined to buy an extended warranty from them, at the time of purchase.in fact, they were more forceful to pressure me into buying coverage for Tires, and Fabric for a $1000.00. Extended warranty was not discussed. Neither did I sign any papers where, I declared that I was offered such a thing and I declined buying it.
Vehicle has now 59700 miles on it and I am stuck with $$3000 for engine replacement bill.
Mr. Sanford walked me out of dealership assuring me that there is no chance that he or his organization will pay for engine.
