Business ProfileforAuto Max of York County, Inc.

We purchased a 2016 **** ** from *** at AutoMax of York County on April 24, 2023 for the amount of $******. Not 24 hours after leaving the dealership the check engine light, and a notice of a loss of oil pressure warning stating to turn off the vehicle immediately came on. The car shuddered and stopped. *** was immediately notified and sent us to the auto shop he works with, ******* **********. They looked at the car and stated they couldn't find any issues. The next day the car did the same thing again. *** was contacted again, and the car was taken back to ******* where they kept it for over a week, finally stating there was a crack in some part of the oil system and that they had repaired it. They said to disregard the engine light warnings as that was due to a sensitive sensor. Yesterday I was driving the vehicle when all the lights on the dashboard lit up, the car began to shake, and thick black smoke came out of the tailpipe before it shut down completely. *** was notified, and refused to offer assistance stating instead that he had no obligation to help and if we didn't want to take the car back to ******* we could take it elsewhere, but the warranty only covered ****** now because we were outside 30 days from purchase. It seems to us that the auto shop and AutoMax have colluded to keep the vehicle running until 30 days had passed and AutoMax no longer had an obligation to help. We believe AutoMax and ******* knew of the issues, and feel we were deceived after making a purchase in good faith.
