The contact owns 2000 Toyota the contact stated that after disconnecting the battery from the vehicle it was later discovered that the both the driver and passenger side doors and the hatch door could not be opened both manually or remotely. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer and manufacturer was notified of the failure but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 200,000.
Salvaged cars and cars that were involved in accidents are being passed off as clean preowned safe cars. The carfax states one thing but the mechanics are finding the lies and the attempted cover ups. Major world located at 43-40 northern blvd. Long island city NY. Showed me a beautiful carfax that did not tell the truth. I found out later after I paid a mobile mechanic 191. 00 to check the car out. The manager admitted to the mechanic that the car was a salvage car and was in an accident. If I knew anything about an accident, I would have automatically passed this SUV (2000 Toyota 4-runner) up. I would not have hired a mechanic. I am on disability and live on a fixed income. I passed up my ambulette service at their suggestion to wait for the mechanics arrival. They promised to pay my cab fare home. They lied. Something needs to be done about this dealership. I am out of $201. 00 because of their lies. How many people are being ripped off even worse than me. At least I had the common sense to get the car checked out before buying. Most folks don't. I learned a valuable lesson. Stay away from major world auto.
