I PURCHASED A VEHICLE FROM BILL WINK CHEVORLET UNDER THE ASSUMPTION THAT IT WAS A QUALITY USED VEHICLE. AS SOON AS I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT, I NOTICED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE WAY THE VEHICLE VEERED AND STOPPED. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS OK. I REPEATED THIS SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. FINALLY I HAD ENOUGH OF THIS CAR AND ATTEMPTED TO TRADE IT BACK IN TO THE DEALER WHO OFFERED ME VERY LITTLE FOR THE VEHICLE. SO I WENT TO ANOTHER DEALER AND WAS AT THAT POINT TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS ONCE AND ENTERPRISE RENTAL CAR AND HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE. I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AND I DON'T NOT WANT THIS CAR IF IT HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I CONTACTED SEVERAL PEOPLE INCLUDING THE OWNER BILL WINK HIMSELF AND WAS UNABLE TO REACH A RESOLUTION, WHICH BRINGS ME HERE. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY IMPALA IT HAS AROUND 44000 MILES. I HAVE HAD IT ABOUT ONE YEAR,ABOUT A MONTH AGO MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME AFTER DROPPING ME OFF IT WAS ABOUT 2 IN THE MORNING SHE WAS ABOUT 10 MILES FROM THE HOUSE AND THE HEAD LIGHT WENT OUT ON HER. SHE GOT THE CAR STOPPED AND AFTER ABOUT 15 MINS THEY CAME BACK ON, SO SHE STARTED TO GO AGAIN GOT ABOUT 5 MORE MILES AND THEY WENT OUT AGAIN. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINS THEY CAME BACK ON. THERE HAS BEEN NO PROBLEMS FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS. THEN AGAIN THE OTHER NIGHT THEY DID THE SAME THING BUT THIS TIME SHE WAS GOING AROUND A CURVE IN THE ROAD (THANK GOD SHE KNEW THE ROAD) NOW SHE ONLY DRIVES THE CAR AFTER DARK IF SHE HAS TO. *TR

THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I AM DRIVING AT NIGHT MY HEADLIGHTS WILL GO OUT. I USUALLY CAN GET THEM BACK ON. IT IS SCARY WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT HAS HAPPENED IN RAIN STORMS AT NIGHT AND THERE IS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE ALSO HAD A WHEEL HUB THAT HAS BEEN REPLACED WHEN MY CAR WAS ONLY 1.5 YEARS OLD. I WAS TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS AND I CAN'T FIND ONE. I HAD TO PAY TO REPLACE THE NEW PART ON A FAIRLY NEW CAR. I HAVE THE OLD PART IN MY TRUNK. *JB
