This Problem Across All Years
1994 TOYOTA TERCEL 4-DOOR SEDAN A/T WHITE/EXTERIOR 191400 MILES ON THE ODOMETER VIN#[XXX]. THEY TOLD ME IT HAS A REBUILD ENGINE, IT'S BETTER THAN A NEW ENGINE. I DON'T ANYTHING ABOUT CARS. I'VE NEVER OWN A CAR IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. PURCHASED IT FROM VALENCIA AUTO/ USED CAR DEALER 1535 VALENCIA STREET, S.F CALIF 94110/ TEL.# 415-282-5553. PURCHASED IT ON OCT-12-2005 . THE CAR STALLS,ENGINE SHUTS-OFF 4-5 TIMES A DAY. VALENCIA AUTO TOLD ME NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR BEFORE I PURCHASED IT. EVERY OTHER DAY OR SO, I BRING THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THE PROBLEMS. IT'S THE SAME OLD FUN AND GAMES THEY PLAYED EVERYTIME. THEY DROVE IT AROUND THE BLOCK AND EVERY TIME THEY CAME BACK AND TELLS ME THAT THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I ASKED VALENCIA AUTO TO GIVE ME MY REFUND. THEY TOLD ME NO REFUND, BRING ME MORE MONEY FOR SOMETHING BETTER, HOW MUCH MORE MONEY CAN YOU BRING ME TODAY!!! I NEED IT THE CAR TO TAKE MY MOM OUT FOR GROCERY AND DINING, ALSO TO TAKE ME TO WORK. MY MOM WAS IN THE CAR WHEN THE ENGINE STALLS AND SHUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE. WILL NOT TAKE MY MOM ANYWHERE, NOT WITH THAT CAR. FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, I DON'T THINK SO. I HAVE 4 POSTINGS ON CRAIGS LIST ABOUT RE: VALENCIA AUTO/DISHONEST, CROOKS, SCAMS, LIES. KEY WORD : VALENCIA AUTO/ WWW.CRAIGSLIST.ORG FOR THE FINAL TIME THAT I BRING THE CAR TO THE DEALER, THE OWNER DROVE THE CAR WITH ME IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. HE DROVE IT ON THE STREET, UP THE FREE WAY. HE TELLS ME THAT THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. NOTHING YET, TIL ON OUR WAY BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. WE STOP ON RED LIGHT, WHEN HE LET GO OF THE BRAKE THE ENGINE HESITATED AND SHOOK. HE TOOK IT BACK TO VALENCIA AUTO FOT SERVICED. THEY STILL HAVE THE CAR IN THEIR POSSESSION AND I GOT THE TITLE AND REGISTRATION. THEY STILL WON'T GIVE ME A REFUND. I DON'T KNOW WHY. THEY DID SOLD ME A CAR WITH MECHANICAL PROBLEMS. *NM INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
