NHTSA Complaint #11339364 — 2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO

I TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AT OR AROUND 12 NOON ON 6JULY 2020 FOR THE 15 MAXIMUM TIME ALLOWED TO TEST DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS DELIVERED AT 10 PM...THE NEXT MORNING I NOTICED THE SERVICE THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM LIGHT WAS ON AND IT WOULD NOT TURN OFF. AFTER RESEARCHING IT WAS DETERMINED THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT ISSUE ME A MASTER FOB AND THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SHUT DOWN AT ANY TIME (WHICH IT DID 3 TIMES IN A 5 DAY PERIOD) . THE VERY NEXT DAY I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE STALLED IN TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY AND JUST STOPPED. THE STALLING AND VEHICLE CUTTING OFF IN TRAFFIC HAPPENED 2 ADDITIONAL TIMES IN 5 DAYS BEFORE I CONTACTED THE DEALER...I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS THE BATTERY BECAUSE OF LACK OF POWER IN THE VEHICLE BUT I WAS INFORMED AFTER A BATTERY TEST IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR ... THE ALTERNATOR HAD AN OUTPUT OF ABOUT 15.8 WHICH I WAS INFORMED IS A DANGEROUS LEVEL THE TRUCK COULD CATCH ON FIRE IS NOT FIXED. I CONTACTED THE DEALER THE NIGHT OF THE 10TH AND CALLED ON 11 JULY 2020 AND SPOKE TO SERVICE MANAGER SAMANTHA SHE INFORMED ME SHE HAD PASSED THE EMAIL TO HER MANAGER. I DID NOT RECEIVE A RESPONSE VIA EMAIL OR TELEPHONE. AFTER A SECOND EMAIL AND CALL RICARDO THE SALESMAN TEXT ME TO INFORM ME MY KEY WOULD BE IN THE MAIL AT MY HOUSE ON MONDAY THE 13TH WHICH IT WAS HOWEVER I HAVE TO PAY THE DEALER TO GET IT PROGRAMMED. THE VEHICLE WAS SOLD AS IS (WHICH I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH) THEREFORE MY COMPLAINT IS THE DEALER IS SELLING VEHICLES THAT ARE DANGEROUS AND THEY HAD TO KNOW THE VEHICLE HAD ALTERNATOR ISSUES AND DIDN'T FIX IT. INSTEAD SOLD IT AS IS RISKING THE LIVES OF ANYONE IS THE VEHICLE OR AROUND IT. RICARDO TEXT ME AS IF I WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT $200 I PAID $18000 CASH $200 IS MY LAST CONCERN HOWEVER I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY LIFE AND THOSE AROUND ME
