I PARKED A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER RENTED FROM BUDGET RENT A CAR IN THE HOTEL PARKING LOT WHERE MYSELF AND MY FIANCE WERE CHECKING IN TO. I REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION AND WENT INSIDE. APPROXIMATELY 30 SEC LATER THE CAR ROLLED DOWN THE HILL IN A LARGE ARC (DUE TO THE STEERING WHEEL BEING LOCKED) AND COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL. AT THAT POINT I PUT THE KEY BACK INTO THE IGNITION AND FOUND THAT THE KEY COULD BE REMOVED WHILE IN NEUTRAL, WHICH CAUSED THE CAR TO ROLL. THE POLICE ARRIVED AND ALSO WERE ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY WHILE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. THIS IS INCLUDED IN THE POLICE REPORT. I WAS NOT CITED SINCE THE POLICE OFFICER FOUND THE CAR TO BE DEFECTIVE. BUDGET RENT A CAR REPLACED THE VEHICLE WITHOUT QUESTION, HOWEVER ARE NOW SEEKING ME TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGE, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY BEING CONTESTED. *JB

ONE WEEK AFTER PURCHASING MY NEW VEHICLE, I DROVE AT NIGHT. WHILE DRIVING, MY HEADLIGHTS WENT DIM UPON DECELERATION. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED. THEY SAID THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND COULD NOT FIX IT. NOW, I AM TAKING IT BACK AGAIN AND HAVING THEM DRIVE IT AT NIGHT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT I AM NOT WILLING TO LIVE WITH AND WANT IT FIXED. *JB

WHEN I BROUGHT THIS CAR IT STARTED TO GIVE ME PROBLEMS. WHAT TYPE OF PROBLEMS YOU ASK PROBLEMS WITH THE MOTOR AND INJECTIONS. I CALLED MANY TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP I TALKED TO A GUY NAMED HENRY PALACIOS AND HE NEVER GAVE ME A SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM. I HAD FULL COVER ON MY VEHICLE BUT THEY TOLD ME THAT IT DIDN'T COVER THE PROBLEMS THAT MY CAR HAD. THE SAME DATE THAT I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE I WENT OUT OF TOWN AND THE CAR COMPLETELY STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. *NM
