On top of the fact that I was lied to repeatedly about the car that I purchased, I have had more problems with my 2008 PT Cruiser than my mom and dad have had with their 2001 and 2004 PT Cruisers COMBINED and that includes the fact that my mom's car is currently not running and sitting in our driveway.
Let's add to that the fact that I have had to replace the battery in this car EVERY SUMMER since I bought it. I managed to get a jump so I could take my car to the dealership at about 915am. I got there and they said "We'll take a look at it" even though I told them TWO WEEKS AGO when I brought it in that it was a bad battery. So, I decide to go look into the possibility of buying a new car while they're looking at my current car. FOUR HOURS LATER they still hadn't even pulled my car back to the repair bays to even figure out what was wrong. When they FINALLY pulled it back to look at it, it took another THREE HOURS for them to "figure out" that it was in fact the bad battery I had originally told them it was and to switch out said battery.
Two weeks ago I dropped my car off at about 11am because the battery was dead. It took them until THE NEXT MORNING to even LOOK at my car and then they told me "oh, it's just the connectors, we'll do the battery service and you'll be good." Well, it turns out that the "battery service" that they charged me $40 for, I could have done myself with a 50 cent can of Coke. All they did was clean off the battery cables. They claimed that they checked the battery and that the battery was good.
The kicker? If they had changed the battery two weeks ago it would have still been under the free replacement. As of last week, it wasn't under the free replacement anymore. So that means that I had to pay $88 for towing, $40 for the "battery service" and today I had to pay $106 for the new battery and labor. $32 worth of labor to change out the fucking battery.
All of this is on a 2008 PT Cruiser. Since I bought the car in 2008, I have had to replace the Cam Shaft Position Sensor Circuit and the Crank Shaft Position Sensor Circuit. I've had to replace the battery three times as of today. I had to get the brakes done within 6 months of buying the car. I have had to get new tires on the car twice. I have had to replace the wiring that controls the horn twice. I have had to place the wiring that controls the wind shield wipers and the turn signals as well as the switches that control them because the wiring burning out means that both switches burnt out. AND I was told that I need a new air conditioner compressor by one person, and a new air conditioner fan by another.
All of this amounts to repairs on the car in the amount of....roughly 1/3 the PURCHASE PRICE OF THE DAMN VEHICLE!
Don Davis lied to me about the warranty and refused to give me anything in writing. They lied to me about the condition of the car. They lied to me about the previous owner of the car. Hell, the VIN number pulls up for a BLUE car and my car is SILVER STEEL.
What does this all come down to? It comes down to the fact that I owe nearly 2 times what my car is actually worth so there is no way I can get rid of it until I get it paid off, because the longer I keep the car the less it is worth. So I am stuck in a fucking piece of shit car that is falling apart worse than my mistreated 1998 Mustang was when it was 10 years old.
In summer? DON DAVIS AUTO GROUP IS A LYING BUNCH OF THIEVES AND YOU SHOULD NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER do business with them EVER.
