| Equipment problems |
I purchased the 2009 Volvo on 10/5 at m&m auto sales llc and on 10/9 at 6:20 am my vehicles check engine light turned on and a transmission service urgent light turned on. On 10/11 I went to aamco and they informed me that the transmission needed repairs costing up to 4k. When I purchased the car the dealership disclosed to me that the vehicle is in perfect condition. As of 10/21 I went to a mechanic shop called pegoraro and ran a full auto diagnostic on the vehicle. With repairs on the vehicle costing $12,433. 03 which involve fixes to the timing belt, cooling system fluid exchange, drive belt tensioner/idle assembly, automatic transmission assembly, remove and install, brake fluid exchange, and lastly disc brake pads, rotors and calipers (rear). Obviously the vehicle isn't in "perfect condition". After getting this diagnostic I was informed that the vehicles odometer has been tampered with as well as a bunch of other codes have been turned off before I purchased this vehicle. I just want a refund for this vehicle and to take my business elsewhere.
Improper draining route which in result causes mold and damage to floor mats and seat cushions in rainy weather. Transmission fluid has higher acidity levels. Coolant regularly falls below minimum level required.
