I purchased a 2006 Sonata from Drivetime approximately 1 year ago. Before leaving the lot I brought to the attention of the salesman a noise in the frontend and the car was leaning. He said that he noticed the right front tire being a little low And the noise sounds like a shock and that the warranty would take care of that. I proceeded with buying the car be pause if their "useless" warranty. I took the car to the shop that they told me. I was told that the chastise need greased and he did it and told me to drive it for a while to let it puberty properly.
After the holidays I took it back and he said that he had mus diagnosed it and that it was the strut. Drivetime denied the claim due to it not being a covered part after I was assured it would be fixed. We had the strut replaced on our own. Dix not curd the problem. Then the brakes went bad. Fixed them. Had someone drive the car the other day and was told that we should get a carfzx that it appears that the car has been previously wrecked. Both ftint tires are even wearing unevenly due to front end issues. If you hit a bump you better hold on because the car gears off to the right and still makes horrible noises.
I need a safe car to drive and tried to trade the car in but Drivetime ripped me off so bad I owe $14000.00 for a car only worth $5000.00 to trade in. The dealership is suggesting that I contact a lawyer due to the safety concerns and the usery laws that are in place against companies that over charge at a high rate. I have spoken to dt several times asking for help to get a safe car by either taking it back or lowering the payoff so that I can get a safe car and only get talked to poorly by customer service.
I am going to seek a lawyer within the next week either alone or as a group. Contact me if you have been ripped off by Drivetime and live in the Norfolk area and lets put a stop to people being taken advantage of by this company!!!
