Consumer Description

PURCHASED CAR WITH DEALER PROMISE TO FIX BOTH DOORS. FIXED ONE AND IGNORED MY MANY REQUESTS TO FIX IT. DOOR DOESN'T CLOSE, MANAGER SAID IT WAS FROM SEATBELT. IT ACTUALLY HAD BEEN BROKEN INTO BEFORE PURCHASE WHICH HE DENIED. KEPT CHANGING STORY. LED ME TO A MENTAL BREAKDOWN. STILL LIES AND REFUSES TO HELP. BELITTLES, DEHUMANIZES AN INSULTS ME. THREATENS ME WITH EVEN WORSE TREATMENT. ACCUSED ME OF HAVING PERSONAL VENDETTA AND SUDDENLY MY HOUSE IS IN FORECLOSURE HE HAS INFLUENCED TOWN HALL. CHAD BOUCHARD TOLD ME HE KNOWS A GIRL WHO WORKS THERE AFTER I FILED POLICE REPORT. HE WANTED MORE INFO, ILLEGALLY. FOR OVER A YEAR I'VE BEGGED FOR HELP. I HAVE PHOTOS FROM SITE WITH 1 PHOTO FROM AN ALMOST IDENTICAL CAR WITHOUT THE DRIVER'S SIDE BASHED IN BUT THE DAMAGE SHOWING THAT THE OTHER DOOR DOESN'T CLOSE. THEY REFUSE TO LET ME SPEAK TO ANYONE OTHER THAN THE OWNERS SON WHO CLAIMS TO HAVE PICTURES OF CAR BEFORE DAMAGE. HE HAS NOT DONE SO BECAUSE THEY DON'T EXIST. ODDLY, AFTER THIS TRANSACTION THE SALESMAN NO LONGER WORKS THERE. DON'T KNOW WHERE IT HAPPENED THEY PASSED THE INSPECTION AT THE DEALERSHIP. SHADY! I TURNED DOWN THE INSURANCE MONEY ONCE CHAD ACCIDENTALLY ADMITTED TO DAMAGE. RAIN AND ICE GET IN. I CAN HEAR WIND, WHISTLING AND IT RATTLES. I BELIEVE THEY BANDAIDED IT BECAUSE DOOR DID CLOSE DURING TEST DRIVE, I BELIEVE. SALESMAN ONLY LET ME DRIVE IT LESS THAN A MILE. I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR THAT I PAID OVER $11,500 FOR. I CAN'T SELL IT, TRADED IN, ETC. NOT SURE IF IT WILL PASS INSPECTION.
