From the Consumer on Thursday, December 28, 2023 Complaint: 20940459 I am rejecting this response because: Regards, Robert Hemphill McLeod employees are respectful and helpful but I was sold a lemon I had to pay for parts and was never offered an opportunity to get a replacement car all they want to do is keep working on the same broken car they are helpful but they don't offer you options when they know they sold you a bad car other than just trying to fix it multiple times to No success. I just feel scammed because who gets a car that breaks down 3 days after you get it and they make you pay for parts they waived labor and but my issue is I was never given opportunity for a different vehicle because in life if something breaks you try to fix but if you can't fix you replacement I feel quality was not a big deal for this dealership so in summation an offer was made it was not my first choice but I was forced to feel like I had to keep the car while my preference was to exchange From the Business on Friday, December 29, 2023 Please refer to my original comment.
