Last year my wife and I purchased a 2005 Pontiac Grand am, which after the first year was an awesome car, great gas mileage & drove nice. That is until about 3 weeks ago when my wife was on her way to work the car suddenly took off on her and with her foot off the gas it would run 80MPH on its own. She almost got into a terrible accident that really had her scared and shook up. The only way she made it to work was to ride the brake to keep her speed down and to stop at a light she would have to put the car in neutral and would rev up a... read full review »

I am in ajmer and own three maruti cars and have heard a lot about Maruti.But i was shocked to see a SANTRO car painted on the main board of the new maruti dealership (Raj Autowheels) at the Jaipur road service station. This is a disgrace for the company and it shows that Maruti is just keen to sell in big numbers rather than concentrate on other issues. Too bad Maruti. read full review »

On 6/16/07 I had my car towed to Tipton Honda in El Cajon, CA. I spoke with Roger the Assistant Service Manager. I informed him of the problem with my car (it would turn over just not fire) and he indicated that they would perform a diagnostic analysis to determine what was wrong.

Apollo Casualty, Des Plaines, IL - Insurance Company I was recently involved in an accident with someone who is insured by Apollo Casualty. I was stopped at a red light minding my own business when I was rear-ended. Due to location and time of day, the police advised me to go over to the police station to make a report. The other person didn't show up until the next day. The officer explained to me that the man would be ticketed for failure to stop to avoid an accident.

Mid-2006, the... read full review »

My engine light was on in my 2002 VW Jetta. I took it to the auto shop I usually use and he couldn't find anything wrong after running a diagnostic test and apologized that I would have to take it to my dealer (West Broad Volkswagen).

The dealer said I would have to pay $82 upfront for the testing which I agreed to; then I received a call back saying they couldn't find anything wrong and would need to charge another approx $100 for more diagnostic testing. I asked what happens if you still... read full review »

The Indian Oil petrol bunk popularly known as "Kadirenalli Petrol Bunk" located at Uttarahalli Main Road, Padmanabha Nagar, Bangalore, doesn't satisfies neither quality or quantity. Every time when I go to fill the petrol, I had to quarrel with them for quantity of petrol, and in the evening I realize that the petrol is mixed, as my moped (which usually runs for 60-65 kmpl) runs for only 35-40 kmpl. They always try to hide the electronic reading while feeding the petrol without reseting the reading. This hopeless activity of this petrol bunk is more frequent. read full review »

I purchased my vehicle in 2006. I was paying my car note on time. I then came into some financial hardships that cause me to fall behind. Bottom line, the representative told me that I could bay a certain amount, and then pay the other amount 2 weeks after. Then when my payment came I would only pay half for that month. I wasn't able to pay on that schedule, but got the total amount in. The representative then told me that was not the agreement. I told her, " you know what, I need to start recording these conversation. You all... read full review »

Wow! What a crappy business. The worst customer service ever. After taking $6000 of my money they failed to deliver a Olds 455 engine as promised. Many, many, many phone calls and emails were not delivered. It was not until I threatened to call the State Troopers did the engine get shipped (10 days after they had said it was shipped and a month+ late). When the engine got here it was not complete. We had ordered a turn key engine and the engine was missing almost $1000 in parts. My mechanic finished building it on his own dime. We installed it... read full review »

Sold heavily by the company, the Smart Shift technology HAS NOT BEEN PERFECTED. I purchased 3 M2's in Feb. 2007 with the technology and all are having problems. What's worse, is that the electronics are so complicated the service techs can't fix them. They try to get instructions from Mercedes (maker of Smart Shift) but it appears the troubleshooting is either unclear or "over their heads". Both dealerships in Orlando and Tampa can't fix the problem. I'm 13 days in the shop with no results on a new vehicle. Don't make the same mistake. read full review »

For the last four years, I have been a mechanic for Monro Muffler & Brake. The company pay plan is based on a percentage commission for work performed. Even though I have proven, (when given the chance), that I could be as productive as most of their other mechanics, I have been blocked from making money by unscrupulous managers, and assistant managers. As it stands right now, I am almost penniless from this unfair company's ridiculous pay plan, and the latest manager I work under, is a loud mouthed, abusive person with delusions of... read full review »

This is a formal complaint against the kind of mental & physical harassments, I received while trying to finance a used car from Kotak mahindra Bank, Delhi. I simply can't understand why the bank is ready to finance easily for a new car, but asks hell lot of docs while going for a true value car. Even, if the bank is a partner of that showroom. It simply means that even the partners are not sure about the quality of true value cars. Then how can Maruti expects its customers to be loyal enough? Further if the bank is asking for... read full review »
