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.

Amanti

  • 70,000 miles
Ever since I have owned the car, the airbag light has been on and does not go off until the car is off. The RPM gage has always been erratic when driving at normal speeds. The car lurches forward when at a stop light and while accelerating. The engine smells as if wires are burning and it seems increasingly hot, but the gage stays normal. The gas tank cannot be filled quickly, I have to trickle gas into the tank brake pads wear down constantly. I have already filed a complaint about the brake light switch being defective and this should be addressed before someone gets killed.
