SEATS
19 complaints
I FOUND FIVE RECALLS ON THE SAFECAR.GOV SITE, YET I HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED OF ANY OF THEM. IN APPROXIMATELY 2000-2001, I HAD A FAILURE OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT, WHILE TRYING TO MOVE THE SEAT BACK FOR MORE ROOM, WHERE THE BACK FELL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO A RECLINING POSITION. I WAS NOT ABLE TO MAKE IT STAY UP. THE DEALER AT THE TME REPAIRED IT AT AN APPROXIMATE COST OF $1,100.00. SOMETIME LATER, I READ IN THE NEWSPAPER LATER ABOUT A RECALL FOR THE SEATS, AND TOOK IT TO JOLIET DODGE, JOLIET, IL, WHO IS NOW OUT OF BUSINESS. THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING, TELLING ME I HAD ALREADY HAD IT FIXED, AND REFUSING TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE COST TO REPAIR. FAST FORWARD TO JULY 2014. WHEN TRYING TO MOVE THE SEAT BACK BY USING THE LEVER FOR THAT AND PUSHING BACK WITH MY BODY, THE SEAT BACK TOTALLY FAILED AGAIN. IT GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN, AND WILL NOT STAY UP. BECAUSE OF THE AGE OF THE CAR, AND THE FACT THAT I AM A RETIREE ON ONLY SOCIAL SECURITY FOR A VERY LIMITED INCOME, AND NOT BEING ABLE TO AFFORD THE COST TO REPAIR, I DID A HOME MADE FIX BY PUTTING MY LARGE PLASTIC COOLER ON THE FLOOR IN BACK OF THE SEAT TO HOLD IT UP. I AM LUCKY THIS HAPPENED WHILE THE CAR WAS IN PARK, NOT MOVING, ELSE I MIGHT HAVE HAD A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED, I WAS DRIVING, BUT HAD NO ACCIDENT.

THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF A RECALL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 03V035000: SEATS: FRONT ASSEMBLY: RECLINER) AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE DEALER ADVISED THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PREVIOUSLY PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE AND THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT COVER THE COST OF A SECOND REPAIR. THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

I HAD JUST LEFT CHURCH, AND GOT INTO MY CAR TO COME HOME. I PUT ON MY SEAT BELT, MOVED THE SEAT FORWARD, CHECKED THE MIRRORS, AND WITH MY FOOT DEPRESSING THE BRAKE, TOOK OFF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, AND LOOKED OVER MY LEFT SHOULDER. AS I DID THIS, I VIEWED A WHITE CAR STOPPED ABOUT TWO CARS LENGTH BEHIND ME, WAITING TO EXIT THE PARKING LOT. THEY WAIVED TO ME TO GO AHEAD. AT THIS POINT MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED. THE COLUMN SHIFTER WAS IN REVERSE, AND MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY CAR ( BY ITSELF ) WENT INTO FULL ACCELERATION FORWARD, ABOUT ONE AND A HALF CAR LENGTHS HITTING A TREE, WITHOUT MY SHIFTING ANYTHING ON THE SHIFTING COLUMN. THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE IMPACT STIRRED UP A HUGE AMOUNT OF DIRT AND DUST IN FRONT OF MY WINDSHIELD. THE TREE WAS THE ONLY THING THAT STOPPED MY CAR AS THE MOTOR WAS STILL IN FULL ACCELERATION AS I REACHED TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION. MANY WITNESSES GATHERED AROUND MY CAR COMING TO MY DOOR TO SEE IF I WAS HURT. I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH DAIMLER CHRYSLER, AND THEY REFUSE TO EXCEPT LIABILITY FOR WHAT I AM SURE IS A MALFUNCTION IN THIS CAR! THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY HUSBAND WITH THIS SAME CAR IN SEPT OF 1999, ONLY THE CAR WENT INTO FULL ACCELERATION IN REVERSE. *AK *CB

THERE IS ALSO 1/2" TO 1" OF PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL EITHER WAY WHEN IT IS "WORKING PROPERLY". THE PROBLEM STARTED INTERMITENTLY THEN RAPIDLY WORSENED. I SPOKE TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. MY COWORKER IS APPROCHING 50,000 MILES WITH A 2000 CHRYSLER 300M, (AN UPGRADE, BUT BASICLLY THE SAME CAR), HE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED DIAMLER CHRYSLER, BUT HAVE GOTTEN NOWHERE. I AM TAKING IT TO THE SHOP 6/21/04 TO BE FIXED. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE PROBLEM AND SEEMS TO OCCURE AT AROUND 40000 TO 50000 MILES, (CHRYSLER SAID THEY WOULD HAVE SPLIT THE COST WITH ME IF THE MILAGE WASN'T SO HIGH). I FEEL THAT THIS PROBLEM SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO BE FOLLOWED UP ON. IT IS A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM.*AK

SINCE 2010, THE CAR HAS HAD MANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT HAVE RESULTED IN OVER 5,000 DOLLARS IN REPAIRS AND THE PROBLEMS CONTINUE TO PERSIST. IN 2010, THE CAR BEGAN HAVING INTERMITTENT LIGHTING ISSUES AND FAILURE OF THE TRUNK LATCH OPENING MECHANISM. IN AUG 2010, THE BCM WAS FIXED/REPLACED. SINCE THEN, THE A/C HAS BECOME THE PROBLEM THAT HAS LED TO THOUSAND OF DOLLARS OF REPAIRS. THE PROBLEM IS THAT INTERMITTENTLY THE A/C WILL NOT RESPOND TO CHANGES IN THE TEMPERATURE CONTROLS AND ONLY 180 DEGREE AIR COMES OUT. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED ALMOST ALL MECHANICAL PARTS OF THE A/C AND THE ELECTRICAL CONTROLS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE BCM. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES AND NOW THE SO CALL NEW BCM IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

THE BCM ON THE CAR HAS BEEN SHORTING OUT. THE LIGHTS TURN OFF THE DASH LIGHTS TURN OFF THE FUEL GAUGE DROPS OUT THE HEAT AND A/C WON'T WORK ALL AT ONCE. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE BCM ONCE.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN I-75, MY 1999 CONCORDE BEGAN MAKING NOISE THAT SOUNDED SIMILAR TO AN OBJECT TOUCHING A MOVING FAN. WHEN I GOT TO FIRST EXIT, VEHICLE DIED, AND AT THAT POINT OIL LIGHT FLICKERED. I RESTARTED AND BEFORE I COULD GET ACROSS 1 LANE OF TRAFFIC TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I THOUGHT THAT FROM THE SOUND MY WHOLE ENGINE WOULD FALL OUT OF MY VEHICLE. CAR DIED AGAIN,AS I MANAGED TO REACH THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE HAD "THROWN A ROD", AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I ASKED WHAT WOULD CAUSE IT AND WAS TOLD "EVERYDAY WEAR AND TEAR", IT HAS ONLY 70,000 MILES ON IT. IT WILL COST $5,000.00 TO REPLACE, WHICH I DON'T HAVE!!! I HAVE SPOKEN TO VERY RELIABLE AUTO PARTS DEALER ABOUT A REPLACEMENT ENGINE. HE TOLD ME THAT THE ENGINE HAS A REPUTATION FOR BEING THE WORST YOU COULD HAVE, AND THAT HE WOULD NOT PUT ANOTHER 2.7 LITER ENGINE BACK IN THE CAR. (DIDN'T MAKE ME FEEL ANY BETTER!!) NOW I FIND THIS WEBSITE AND I READ 64 COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IS THERE A PLACE OR PHONE NUMBER TO SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM. AS IT STANDS NOW, I HAVE A CAR THAT I CAN'T DRIVE, BUT STILL HAVE TO PAY $7,000 ON, AND NO PROSPECTS OF BEING ABLE TO AFFORD ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION. *JB

I HAVE A 1999 CHRYSLER CONCORDE THAT HAS BEEN AT THE ATLANTA DODGE DEALERSHIP SINCE MARCH 26. THE ENGINE HAS SLUDGE BUILD-UP AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS SERVICED BEFORE MY TRIP TO ATLANTA, YET I STILL EXPERIENCED THE UNIT MAKING NOISES THE DAY AFTER WE ARRIVED. (THANKFULLY, WE ARRIVED). WITHIN AN HOUR OF THE AC UNIT MAKING NOISES, THE ENGINE DIED ON I-20 WEST. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ONLY 6 MONTHS OLD AGO, IT HAS ABOUT 79,000 MILES. I HAD 3 REGULAR OIL CHANGES DURING THOSE 6 MONTHS, AND ONE MONTH BEFORE MY BUSINESS TRIP, I HAD A DIAGNOSIS TEST DONE AT GOODYEAR BECAUSE THE OIL LIGHT WAS FLASHING ON-AN-OFF. GOODYEAR ALSO CHANGED THE OIL THAT 3RD TIME. NOTHING WAS DISCOVERED. AS A SINGLE PARENT OF 4 KIDS, I WAS TRYING TO REBUILD MY CREDIT AFTER A SERIES OF JOB LAYOFFS. I HAVE HAD AUTO RENTALS FOR THE 5TH WEEK NOW AND SEE NO END IN SIGHT. LUCKILY, I DID PURCHASE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT NO ONE IS ASSUMING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECT, NO ONE-- THE WARRANTY PEOPLE, THRIFTY DEALERSHIP (WHERE PURCHASED) OR CHRYSLER! I AM SINKING FURTHER INTO DEBT. THIS IS SO UNFAIR TO THE CONSUMER. I AM MORE THAN ANGRY. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A CAR AGAIN WITHOUT CHECKING ?MYCARSTATS? (I DID A VERY GENERIC ONLINE SEARCH AND HAD CARFAX). AND WILL NEVER PURCHASE A DODGE OR CHRYSLER AGAIN. I AM NOW SEARCHING FOR A MECHANIC?S SPECIAL TO GET AROUND TOWN AND TO WORK. *JB

DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 265 AT 55 MPH, ENGINE JUST QUIT, CAUSING A POTENTIALLY DEADLY SITUATION. WHEN THE ENGINE QUIT, IT LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. CAR ONLY HAS 70,000 MILES. AIR CONDITIONING QUIT WORKING IN MAY OF 2003. *JB

AIR CONDITIONING/HEATING UNIT DOES NOT COOL OR HEAT PROPERLY. HAS BEEN INVESTIGATED REGULARLY WITHOUT CHRYSLER DEALER "FINDING" ANYTHING. ON PARTICULAR DATE BELOW IT WAS A VERY COLD MORNING, USED HEAT AND DROVE 3 KIDS 20 MILES. STOPPED FOR HALF HOUR, GOT BACK IN CAR AND CAR SOUNDS LIKE A DIESEL ENGINE - ROUGH AND LOUD. I WAS ALONE WITH THE 3 KIDS. ASKED A COUPLE OF MEN TO LISTEN, THEY THOUGHT CYLINDER(S) WERE GONE AS NOISE LOWERED WHEN ENGINE REVVED. (BY THE WAY, THIS CAR HAS HAD 2 TRANSMISSIONS ALREADY, WITH 73,000 MILES). LIMPED HOME SCARED TO DEATH ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WITH THE 3 KIDS. STOPPED AT SERVICE STATION, TOLD NOT TO DRIVE AS ENGINE WAS FAILING. CALLED AAA AND THEY CAME AND TOWED TO CHRYSLER DEALER. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE DIESEL SOUND AND "FOUND NOTHING WRONG." TODAY IS NOV 24TH 2003 AND THIS MORNING THE SAME SOUND IS BACK IN MY ENGINE. THE HEAT ONLY WORKS WHEN I AM MOVING, NOT AT IDLE, AND LEAVES A VERY ODD SMELL IN THE CAR IF THE CAR IS LEFT IDLING WITH THE HEAT ON. I HAVE A 5 MONTH OLD, A 5 YEAR OLD AND AN 8 YEAR OLD, I AM GETTING VERY FRIGHTENED TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH THEM IN IT ANYMORE. I DID AN ONLINE SEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS AC/HEAT PROBLEM IS PREVALENT IN THIS MODEL (CHRYSLER CONCORDE 1999) AND CAN CREATE SLUDGE IN THE ENGINE THAT CAUSES SUDDEN ENGINE FAILURE. I WANT THIS FIXED AND I WANT YOU TO GET AFTER CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS! *LA

ENGINE STOPS UNPREDICTABLY, RESULTING IN LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING THAT THIS IS ABOUT TO OCCUR. NO "IDIOT LIGHTS" ARE LIT, AND THE ENGINE DOES NOT LURCH OR HESITATE -- IT SIMPLY QUITS. THIS HAS RESULTED IN SOME NEAR MISHAPS WHEN THIS OCCURS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. SUDDEN DECELERATION WITHOUT WARNING, AND VERY SLUGGISH HANDLING UNTIL THE ENGINE CAN BE RESTARTED, REPRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT HAZARD TO MYSELF, MY PASSENGERS, AND OTHER DRIVERS. INPUT-OUTPUT SENSORS WERE REPLACED 90 DAYS AGO. THIS ELIMINATED THE PROBLEM UNTIL SEPTEMBER 16, 2003 WHEN IT BEGAN TO RECUR. *JB

A/C HEATER PROBLEMS SINCE CAR WAS NEW, CONTROL HEAD REPLACED THREE TIMES. ENTIRE A/C SYSTEM REPLACED BY REPUTABLE INDEPENDANT AUTO/TRUCK A/C COMPANY @ 60K MILES. THIS INDEPENDANT COMPANY INDICATES THAT IT'S WIDELY KNOWN IN THE INDUSTRY THAT CHRYSLER A/C SYSTEMS ARE EXPECTED TO FAIL @ 60K MILES, AND WE CAN REASONABLY EXPECT NEWLY INSTALLED SYSTEM TO PERFORM FOR 60K MILES. WE'VE SPENT OVER $2000 ON THE A/C, LAST MONTH REPLACED WITH CONTROL HEAD #3 @ CHRYSLER DEALER $300.00, STILL NOT WORKING RIGHT... CLEAR THAT CHRYSLER REALLY HAS NO CLUE... SYSTEM IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE. PROBLEM VERY WIDESPREAD, ASK ANYONE. MOST FOLKS JUST GIVE UP, JUNK OR TRADE. *AK

THE AIR CONDITIONING IN MY 1999 CHRYSLER CONCORDE SMELLS LIKE A HORSE AND IS NO LONGER FUNCTIONING. THE PROBLEM STARTED HAPPENING IN JUNE 2002. THE AIR CONDITIONING EMITTED A FOG. I TOOK THE CAR TO MIDAS WHERE THEY WOULD PUT DYE IN TO THE SYSTEM TO DETECT WHERE THE LEAKAGE WAS COMING FROM. THEY TOLD ME TO RETURN IN TWO WEEKS TO REVIEW. THEY WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS, REFILLED THE COOLANT AND IT WORKED UNTIL APRIL OF 2003, STILL SMELLED LIKE A HORSE. THEN GOT IT LOOKED AT AGAIN IN APRIL 2003, AT A CHRYSLER DEALER - THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG BUT REFILLED COOLANT. IT WORKED UNTIL OCTOBER 2003. I THEN TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALER WHO COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM AGAIN. I JUST TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND HE DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO BE IN THE EVAPORATED CORE AND ADVISED TO CALL CHRYSLER TO HAVE THEM COVER THE CHARGE. MY CAR HAS 53,000 MILES ON IT AND IS OUT OF WARRANTY. WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST BEGAN HAPPENING, IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY BUT NO ONE WAS ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. I AM NOW WORKING WITH CHRYSLER. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN THAT THE DEALER HAS NEVER BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM AND IT KEEPS COSTING US MORE TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT WITH NO RESOLUTION. I AM WORKING WITH CHRYSLER NOW TO HAVE THEM COVER THIS CHARGE, BUT THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT SINCE I AM NOW OUT OF WARRANTY, THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HELP ME OUT MUCH IF AT ALL. I CALLED THEIR RECALL DEPARTMENT AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT THIS PART OF THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED, BUT I SHOULD LODGE A COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA TO COMMENCE AN INVESTIGATION TO HAVE IT RECALLED. I CHECKED THE NHTSA WEB SITE AND FOUND THAT I AM NOT ALONE, THERE WERE TWO OTHER COMPLAINTS LODGED FOR THE SAME THING! SO I AM HOPING THAT BY LODGING MY COMPLAINT, SOME ACTION WILL BE TAKEN, AT LEAST INITIATE A DEFECT INVESTIGATION, AND HOPEFULLY, THIS WILL RESOLVE IN A FORMAL RECALL SO OTHERS, AND MYSELF, WILL NOT HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THIS DEFECT CORRECTED. *LA

AFTER RECEIVING A PHONE CALL FROM [XXX] DEALERSHIP STATING "THAT THE CAR WAS READY." "AND HAD BEEN SERVICED." AFTER ARRIVING AND GETTING IN THE CAR, I NOTICED THAT THE ODOMETER HAD BEEN CHANGED, BECAUSE IT WAS NOW READING 48,883 MILES. I THEN QUESTIONED [XXX] ABOUT THE ADDITIONAL MILES AND WAS TOLD "BEEN EVERYTHING HAD FIXED." ON 4/15/03, I WAS BACK AT [XXX] HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IN THE DASHBOARD. AND THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS BLOWING OUT HOT AIR. IN THE MONTH OF MAY 2003, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT THE DRIVER'S SEAT BOLT BEING DEFECTIVE, WHICH MAY BREAK CAUSING THE SEAT TO SUDDENLY RECLINE. I TOOK THE CAR IN ON 5/27/03 TO HAVE THE BOLT REPLACED. AFTER BEING AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR ABOUT TWO MINUTES I WAS TOLD THAT "THE CAR WAS READY TO GO." I ASKED IF THE BOLT HAD BEEN REPLACED? I DO NOT BELIEVE IT HAD BECAUSE IT WAS NOT GONE LONG ENOUGH. I ALSO HAD TO REQUEST A CUSTOMER'S COPY OF THE INVOICE. WHEN I RECEIVED THE INVOICE I NOTICE THAT THE INVOICE STATED THAT THE CAR WAS GRAY. THE CAR IS BLACK. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER.

I OWN A 1999 CHRYSLER CONCORDE LXI. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT. LOT OF LITTLE THINGS. WINDOW MOTORS, COOLING FAN, TRANSMISSION OVERSPEED SENSOR, AND THE LIST GOES ON. NOW THE AIR CONDITIONER IS GOING OUT, HAVING TO SERVICE IT ABOUT EVERY 2 MONTHS. WHY I AM WRITING THOUGH IS THE STEERING. SEEMS LIKE IT IS GOING BAD. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND READ MANY COMPLAINTS ON YOUR WEB SITE CONCERNING THIS. WHY HASN'T A RECALL BEEN ORDERED FOR THIS AND THE SPEED UP ISSUE?*AK

THIS IS THE MESSAGE THAT I SENT TO CHRYSLER CORPORATION ON 4/8/2003. I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE ITEMS BELOW. THE CAR IS A 1999 CHRYSLER CONCORDE LXI. I PURCHASED IT USED SEPT. 2002. I CURRENTLY HAVE 46201 MILES ON THE CAR AND BY LOOKING AT THE INFORMATION ON YOU WEBSITE SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY INDIVIDUAL TO HAVE THESE PROBLEMS. MY REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW IS NOT WORKING. IT WORKED WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR, BUT NOW IT DOESN'T EVEN GO DOWN. I AM HAVING IT REPLACED, BUT AM NOT HAPPY THAT A CAR ONLY 3 YEARS OF AGE HAS SUCH A PROBLEM. I HAVE ALREADY DONE MY RESEARCH AND HAVE REALIZED THAT I HAVE PURCHASED A CAR WITH NUMEROUS PROBLEMS. ALSO, THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK MECHANISM (ACTUATOR) ALSO HAS TO BE REPLACED. IT IS CURRENTLY MAKING A VERY LOUD PITCHED NOISE WHEN ACTIVATING THE LOCKING FEATURE. THE UNLOCK DOESN'T MAKE THE NOISE. I WOULD APPRECIATE A RESPONSE ABOUT THIS INFORMATION. I WILL ALSO BE CONTACTING THE NHTSA ABOUT THESE ISSUES SO THEY ARE AWARE OF THEM. WHEN AT THE DEALER TODAY, 4/8/2003, THE SERVICE PERSON SAID THAT THE DOOR LOCK MECHANISM HAS BEEN A CONSISTENT PROBLEM. I REALLY DON'T THINK THAT I WILL BE PURCHASING OR PERSUADING AN INDIVIDUAL TO PURCHASE A CHRYSLER PRODUCT.

BRAKES CONTINUOUSLY LOCK, WHICH CAUSES TIRES TO LOCK AND THE CAR SKIDS AND PITCHES FORWARD. OUR DOOR LOCKS ARE BROKEN AND THE BOTTOM PORTION OF THE BACK SEAT IS COMING OUT FROM THE FLOOR. WHEN WE PURCHASED THE CAR, WE ASKED THE SALESPERSON (TIM WHITE) IF THE CAR WAS IN GOOD CONDITION AND IF THIS WAS A RENTAL CAR. HE SAID" IT HAD ONE OWNER." WHEN I REPEATED THIS TO THE MANAGER LAST WEEK, HE SAID IT DID. HE STATED THAT THE OWNER WAS THE RENTAL COMPANY IN FLORIDA. THEN I POINTED OUT TO THE MANAGER THAT ONE OWNER DID NOT MEAN ONE DRIVER. WITH IT BEING A RENTAL CAR IT HAS HAD MANY DRIVERS SOME NOT SO CAREFUL AS OTHERS. IF I HAD BEEN INFORRMED OF THE CARS TRUE HISTORY AND CONDITION, I WOULD NEVER HAVE PURCHASED THIS AUTOMOBILE. *AK( DOT NUMBER: )
