      I purchased my CERTIFIED used vehicle 2 years ago (July 1, 2022) from Lafontaine while it was still under warranty. 4 months after I purchased it my ** went out. I took it to Lafontaine Dearborn. They claimed to have found the problem but could not get to my vehicle for 3-4 weeks due to them being behind on repairs and had no loaners to provide to me. I tried all that year to get a loaner. 1 year after I purchased the vehicle my battery died, GM Roadside sent someone out to jump my car, the tech they sent out that he was jumped my battery wrong and caused my battery to blow. I had to pay over $700. Mind you I STILL DID NOT GET MY ** REPAIRED! Now this year my car has been in the shop off and on since April/May because they still cannot fix the ** and when they replaced my Compressor and Condenser they thought, it caused my car to seize. GM sent their Roadside out AGAIN and AGAIN they tried to jump my car, I informed the tech that it doesn't need a jump because I just purchased a new battery from the dealership a year prior. They jumped it anyway and my fuse box melted and my starter went out. Cost me $1,038! And my car is STILL in the shop now, the mechanic has found that my entire ** system is infested with BL**K MOLD! this is something that just didn't happen overnight it had to have been there when I bought the car and that that was the reason my ** went out and kept going out even after replacing the ** Compressor and Condenser. My car has been in the shop more than I have driven it and it has cost me THOUSANDS of dollars to fix! On top of that, the new battery that I purchased from Lafontaine Dearborn is no good per my mechanic and I will need to get a new battery once he finishes repairing my vehicle! I should not have had to have major repairs like this if this was truly a CERTIFIED USED VEHICLE I am beyond livid at this point, I will NEVER buy a car from Lafontaine let alone let them fix my car! I have sought legal representation regarding this matter
