A hugely different consumer experience. Pontiac actually seems to want to keep their customers. <BR/><BR/>Which is odd because I've had problems with GM.. but for some reason the Pontiac side seems to treat their customers much better. <BR/><BR/>If they sold an attractive sedan, the Chrysler would be gone tomorrow. I will never buy a car from them again.

Half the repairs they suggest aren't even needed and the other half, they require you to work with them in order for the warranty to cover it. My advice, don't ever buy a new car, it depreciates too much the minute you drive it and you lock yourself into their mechanic. You are much better off getting a used car and finding a local mechanic who can give it a little love. Finding a good mechanic isn't easy to begin with, but can be a valuable asset once you can find someone you can trust. Once the dealership has you trapped, they have little incentive to deal with complaints like this. If you really want to get their attention, start submitting your blog post to all of the autoblogs and it won't take them long before they'll want to quiet you.Davis Freeberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16697874317490303586noreply@blogger.com
