I think the radio isotope electric generator was removed from the car. The heat and air conditioner were not kicking on and it also caused the battery to die. We thought it was the alternator. I didnt know it was electric. Also the CO2 and year gas were removed and not sure if any firearms were. This was 'the beast' I believe. I received a call from "mike" he mentioned I should add it to my current insurance plan but I told him I only had obamacare. Get my diamond jubilee back please!
Administration on 6/26/20 a dealership made a tenative sale on a usec 2005 vehicle intentionally decieving potential buyer. Vehicle was unsafe to drive as it made misfire and the fluids in vehicle were all missing from each tank. The salesman denied me the right to test drive or opportunity to replenish missing fluids, advising vehicle is as-is. I explained I drove 60 miles one way and was not told the vehicle was as -is or in such terrible condition. Manager refused to assist me or speak with me as I would complain. The salesman said, "take it or leave it"!!! I did not purchase the vehicle but it must be listed as unsafe in a nationwide alert as left driver side impact on doors from bumper to front passenger door, left side fender hanging off, vehicle shaking bad, computer hardware and caps missing on engine. Please have dmv in Delaware red flag this dealership and recall this vehicle as I was almost a victim under lemon law hertrich Buick GMC of seaford 26953 sussex highway seaford, de 19973 www.hertrichgmcbuick.com (888) 313-4253 dear [xxx], we have received your price quote request and thank you for your interest.

Bought this car used in December 2017 and within the first weeks of driving it noticed erratic problems when driving over 40mph. On the highway it has problems frequently with increasing speed when accelerated, especially on an uphill incline, and when I'm stopped/ sitting still, it tries to backfire. If I'm driving the speed limit and have to slow down due to speed limit change or slowed vehicle in front of me, when I try to pick up speed again the rpms won't go up enough to do so; I can be doing 40 mph and floor the accelerator and RPM stays at 2000 until I the car suddenly decides it wants to drive, then RPM jumps up to around 3200 RPM and the car picks up speed again and rpms drop back to normal at 2500. On uphill inclines, the car starts losing speed without breaking and accelerating doesn't increase that speed. I've had it in two different ships; on replaced the plugs (saying it was missing), and the other found a bad coil they replaced. Ood thing is that after each repair, the car behaves and drives good for a week or so, then the same problems occur again. Engine light hasn't come on at all, and I question if it even works as I don't even see the symbol light up when I start the car; I only know it has one from seeing the symbol when the sunlight shines directly onto that gauge. Maybe that's broken so it doesn't indicate there's a problem; heck if I know. The safety issue here is that highway minimum speed is 45 mph, so when vehicle losses speed or won't speed up, others could run into me nor realizing how slow I'm going. Really strange that even the repair shops don't really know what's wrong with it. I've kept checking for a recall on this problem, but none had been issued. I've already spent $700 trying to remedy this problem and truly cannot afford to continue to pour money into the car trying to fix the problem just to have it be reoccurring/misbehaving.
Clear coat on my Kia Amanti is peeling off. This clear coat problem first started on my front bumper and after a long inspection of the entire car my clear coat is coming off of nearly 200 little different spots. I have written complaints to Kia America and have submitted complaints online and I have never, never heard anything back. I took my Kia Amanti to the local dealership and their explanation was it was bird poop. I seriously doubt and Kia can not prove that what is happening to my vehicle is the result of bird poop. I tried to show the manager at my local Kia dealership the exact same problem with the brand new 2006 Kia Amantis that have no miles on them and his reply was, I am sure that all happened when they were ship here but he never would let me show him.
