Consumer Description

A LITTLE OVER 3 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM GARY MATTHEWS, THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED IN TRAFFIC ON ME. I HAD VERY LITTLE BRAKES AND BARELY MADE IT TO MY HOME WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR WAS INSPECTED AND THE RESULTS ARE THAT THE BREAK SYSTEM WAS CONTAMINATED. THE TOTAL COST TO REPAIR IS $2,400.00. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY WERE VERY RUDE AND TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD DO NOTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. WHEN I TALKED TO THE DEALER'S REPAIR SHOP, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD NO RECORD OF THE CAR EVER EVEN BEING INSPECTED BEFORE I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT. YOU'RE HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *AK
