NEXT CARS USA IN BAKERSFIELD CALIFORNIA SOLD US A FORD WINDSTAR WHICH WAS DEFECTIVE (A LEMON). WITHIN TWO WEEK AFTER OUR PURCHASE THE VEHICLE CUT OFF JEOPARDIZING THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN EACH TIME WE PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO NEXT CARS FOR REPAIRS AND TO DATE WE ARE NOW MOVING INTO OUR THIRD MONTH WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION. WHEN WE INQUIRED ABOUT A LOAN VEHICLE JUAN CASILLAS (MANAGER) RESPONSE WAS THAT "WE DON'T DO THAT."
