Owner Complaints (4)
I PURCHASED AN AUTOMOBILE FROM EQUITABLE CAR SALES APPROX 2 YEARS AGO "AS IS". RECENTLY, I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO A LOCAL SHOP FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT ALL 4 OF MY WHEELS ON THE CAR WERE CRACKING DUE TO SOMEONE INSTALLING THEM TOO TIGHTLY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT SINCE IT WAS SOLD "AS IS". NOW, I AM UNABLE TO EVEN DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT TAKING THE CHANCE OF ONE OR ALL 4 OF THE WHEELS COMPLETELY COMING OFF.
REAR WHEELS ARE TURNED INWARD, CAUSING TIRES TO WEAR OUT ON INSIDE. *AK
LOOSE LUGS CAUSED THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE TO FLY OFF AND CAUSED SLIGHT INJURIES, DUE TO LOSS OF CONTROL. YH
LUG NUT WERE LOOSE AND FELL OFF RESULTING IN WHEEL COMING OFF OF AXLE CAUSING DAMAGE.
