Consumer Description

BROUGHT CAR AT ARNOLD PALMER CADILLAC IN CHARLOTTE, NC, INDEPENDENCE AVE ON 2/10/07. AFTER GETTING HOME, BRAKES BEGIN TO SQUEAK, TOOK CAR BACK IMMEDIATELY THE NEXT DAY, I WAS TOLD TO PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND SLAM ON BRAKES AND THE SQUEAK SHOULD STOP; THAT WAS AN INSULT. AGAIN I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP , I WAS TOLD THAT THEY TOOK THE BRAKES PADS OFF AND SANDED THEM DOWN AND THE SQUEAKING WOULD STOP. IT HAS BEEN THREE WEEKS NOW, MY BRAKES IS STILL SQUEAKING WITH A GRINDING NOISE. SPENDING $16,000 FOR A VEHICLE, I FEEL I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS. I HAVE MISSED 2 DAYS OF WORK TAKING MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALESHIP TO BE MADE A FOOL OF. I HAVE BROUGHT 3 CADILLACS FROM ARNOLD PALMER, NEVER AGAIN WILL THEY GET MY BUSINESS OR WILL I RECOMMEND ANYONE TO THEM FOR THIS TYPE OF SERVICE. IN ADDITION TO THE BRAKE PROBLEM, NOW THE WARNING LIGHTS ARE COMING ON FOR FLUID LEVELS. WHEN YOU BUY A CAR FROM A WELL-KNOWN COMPANY, YOU TRUST THAT THE PRODUCT YOU BUY WILL BE RELIABLE, AND HAVE GONE THROUGH A FIVE POINT INSPECTION. WHAT CAN I DO TO RESOLVE THIS SITUATION, BECAUSE I CANNOT CONTINUE TO KEEP MISSING WORK AND TAKING THE CAR BACK FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL ARNOLD PALMER IS PUTTING ME OFF IN AN EFFORT FOR THE WARRANTY TO EXPIRE, AND THEY WILL NOT HAVE TO FIX PROBLEM. *JB
