NHTSA Complaint #10379975 — 2002 ISUZU AXIOM

ON JULY 22, 2010, I PURCHASED A 2002 ISUZU AXIOM FOR MY PREGNANT DAUGHTER, FROM ALAM, THE OWNER AND OPERATOR OF A CARS 4-U, LOCATED ON 3503 HILLCROFT STREET SUITE B, HOUSTON, TEXAS 77057. UPON THE PURCHASE, ALAM, THE OWNER AND OPERATOR OF A CARS 4-U URGED ME TO PURCHASE A PENN WARRANTY, BUT I COULD NOT, SO HE PURCHASED IT. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER, I BEGAN EXPERIENCING STEERING PROBLEMS, SHIFTING GEARS, AIR CONDITIONING PROBLEMS, AUTOMATIC DOOR AND WINDOW PROBLEMS ETC. HE TOLD ME TO HAVE MY DAUGHTER BRING IT IN BUT, SHE REFUSED TO BECAUSE HE WAS ALWAYS HARASSING HER ASKING HER TO GO OUT TO LUNCH WITH HIM, SO I TOOK IT BACK TO HIM AND HE SAID, "THAT'S WHY I TOLD YOU TO PURCHASE A WARRANTY". TWO HOURS LATER, HE TOLD ME THAT THE MECHANICS CHECKED OUT THE VEHICLE AND THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. AS SOON AS I RETURNED HOME,I BEGAN EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. SO, THE NEXT DAY, I TOOK IT TO TWO OTHER MECHANICS. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE VEHICLE WAS HAVING RACK AND PINION AND TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I THEN CONTACTED ALAM, THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND TOLD HIM THAT I HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO TWO OTHER MECHANICS AND TOLD HIM WHAT THEY SAID. HIS RESPONSE WAS, "LET THE WARRANTY TAKE CARE OF IT". ALAM, THE DEALERSHIP TOOK ME TO ANOTHER ONE OF HIS MECHANIC'S THAT WORKED ON ALL OF HIS VEHICLES, WHOSE SHOP LOCATED ON 4208 MANGUM RD. STE.8 CALLED AUTOTECH COLLISION EXECUTIVE AUTO, I TRIED TO WAIT FOR THEM TO TEST DRIVE IT BUT ALAM BEGAN TO ENGAGE IN IMPROPER CONVERSATIONS, AND MAKING IMPROPER BODILY AND HAND GESTERS SO I LEFT. AFTER ABOUT ANOTHER WEEK LATER, I CALLED TO CHECK ON THE STATUS OF THE VEHICLE,THEY TOLD ME THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. *TR
