Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:Mr. M[redacted] does not satisfactorily respond to the issues brought up in the compliant previously submitted. There is ample evidence that Mr. M[redacted] took possession of the vehicle with the ABS, break, and flashing check engine lights illuminated. Once in his possession all three of these lights were suddenly not illuminated. The ABS and break lights are easily stopped from illuminating by clearing the codes from the system, and we have evidence that the check engine light was tampered with so that it would not illuminate. This vehicle was sold to us under false pretenses that it was in “great condition.” We know Mr. M[redacted] was negligent in his disclosure of the issues with the vehicle, even taking into account his statements that he had no prior knowledge of them. The lights were cleared, the check engine light was tampered with. There is overwhelming evidence that Mr. M[redacted] was negligent and he should be financially responsible for rectifying the dispute.Secondly, Mr. M[redacted] makes a claim that we “were knowledgeable about automobiles and he expressed the fact that he was mechanically very savvy.” This is a complete fabrication, and additionally should have no bearing on this complaint. When presented with the facts on the vehicle that we were told by our mechanic, Mr. M[redacted] became defensive and sarcastically said to my husband “well you must be a mechanic then,” when we didn’t allow him to explain away the severe mechanical failure with the engine.In conclusion, our desired outcomes still stand. Mr. M[redacted] can refund us the total cost of the vehicle and we will return it to him for resale, or he can pay for the mechanical fixes to the engine at a reputable mechanic shop. We do not trust mechanic he is trying to send us to due to the damaged relationship with Mr. M[redacted] and poor reviews of the recommended shop’s work.
