      I purchased a 2019 GMC Terrain from Wilbert on May 15th, 2023 and I’d like for you to review my experience as detailed below: 5/15: Purchased the car and was really pleased with my experience. Fast. Friendly. Excellent customer service. I really felt like I got a good deal and made a good purchase. Mr. Wilbert also stated during my walk thru as I was asking questions about the cars history “We do not sell cars that need fixing..” 5/16: Heard the noise as I accelerated while pulling out of my driveway. Sounds like an internal scraping noise. Most consistent upon initial acceleration but can be heard if coasting during speeds of >10. 5/18: Driving home in the rain and the rubber of my left windshield wiper flew off. I replaced them the next day. 5/19: Confirmed noise not normal by having a family friend check it out. 5/23: Called to make appt for service. 5/24: Car went in. Was informed it needed to stay a full day before Walter took it back (no one said this when scheduling) so they inspected the vehicle for 2hrs and Walter asked me to bring it in again for a full day. Scheduled for 6/2. 5/26: Cancelled my 5/27 trip because noise grew more consistent/louder. 5/26-5/29 morning: Didn’t drive the car between the night of 5/26 and the morning of 5/29. Drove to Walmart and back on 5/29 morning. 5/30: Drove 3 minutes away, pulled in to drop my son off (the car shut off while in gear as normal) but it didn’t restart when I took my foot off the gas. Wouldnt restart after much troubleshooting. Wouldn’t shift into N and kept giving a “conditions not consistent with shifting” error message. Called your company they called a tow, I got dropped off by the tow truck before he took the vehicle in for service. Continued on separate document...

      I lost my job due to a COVID 19 layoff. Prior to that I had paid all my payments on time. I received nasty email/text from the "repo" lady. The following date my car was picked up for repossession. The payment was 31 day due. This caused use to have to pay additional fees. I was scheduled to get the statement of earning from the unemployment office the following day. They also install a car locator on the car so anybody working there can just look up my address and harm me or my family. The report lady was so nasty and not understanding at all. I will be following up with the local news.
