Thank you for forwarding the complaint dated July 9, 2015, wherein you forwarded a complaint from Mrs*** *** Mrs*** requested in the desired settlement for CarMax to reimburse her for a collision damage waiver fee and also to be reimbursed for the cost that she paid to have full coverage insurance added to the Vehicle In addition, Mrs*** also requested that CarMax compensate her husband for missing a day of work and for having to secure another mode of transportation while the vehicle was in for serviceCarMax’s records indicate that while the vehicle was being serviced, CarMax contacted Mrs*** to advise her that her Extended Service Plan provided her a rental vehicle for up to seven days while her vehicle was in for service at no cost to her However, Mrs*** mentioned in the complaint that the rental car company informed her that she would need to pay a damage waiver fee before she was allowed the ability to obtain a rental vehicle Mrs*** purchased the damage waiver at the request of the rental car company and rented the vehicle for seven daysCarMax later contacted Mrs*** to inform her that the repairs had to extend beyond the seven days As a gesture of customer service, CarMax offered Mrs*** a loaner vehicle while the final repairs were being completed on her Vehicle Mrs*** did not have an active insurance policy at the time of the offer, but later obtained an appropriate policy that would cover a loaner vehicleIt is not a policy of CarMax, or the Extended Service Provider, to request that customers purchase a damage waiver fee However, CarMax does a driver to have a valid insurance policy before a loaner vehicle can be provided
Based on the above, CarMax is declining the settlement as set forth in the complaintPlease contact me at *** extension *** with any questions you may haveSincerely,

I have reviewed the offer made by the business in reference to complaint ID***, and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below
Having a third party inspect a vehicle is not going to help me with the diminished value the vehicle has Carmax uses advertising by only using the AutoCheck for there Vehicles and not using CarFax Which in my case the AUTOCHECK that CARMAX uses showed my car had (No) accidents prior to purchase I would have not purchased a ( Wrecked Vehicle )! This was not disclosed or provided to me at time of purchase I have already had Carmax give me an appraisal on the vehicle and the offer that was given is not acceptable .

class="MsoNormal">Re: Ms*** ***
Dear Mrs***,
Thank you for forwarding the complaint received in your
office regarding the *** *** ***
VIN ***(the “Vehicle”) that she purchased on
or about November 12, from the CarMax store located in Katy, TexasIn
this complaint Ms*** is requesting tires, OEM rotors and pads and a
synthetic oil change
As stated in the complaint, Ms*** took the Vehicle to
CarMax with concerns regarding the brakesOn or about December 16, 2014, CarMax
initially addressed the concern by resurfacing the front and back rotors and
replacing the padsAt the completion of the repair, there were no brake
squealsOn or about January 21, Ms *** returned stating that there was
once again a brake squeal. At that time,
CarMax replaced the semi metallic pads with ceramic pads to ensure a reduction
in the squeal. On or about February 5,
2015, Ms*** returned to CarMax with a concern of a grinding noiseThe
CarMax technician inspected the brakes to ensure that there was no issue with
the prior brake service that had been completedIt was determined that the
brakes were operating as designedHowever, there was some road noise caused by
the front tires. The technician
recommended a tire rotation to address the concern.
In regard to Ms***’s request to have the tires
replaced, tires were put on Ms***’s Vehicle during the reconditioning
process before it was soldThe tires met the required speed rating and size
for that particular Vehicle
CarMax appreciates the opportunity to respond to this
complaintCarMax would also like to extend the offer again to rotate the tires
as we believe that this would take care of the road noise issue that
Ms*** is experiencing.
Ms*** may contact the CarMax
location in Katy Texas to make an appointment.
CarMax is declining the additional services requested in this complaint
Please call me at *** ***, extension ***, if you
have any questions

Re: ** *** ***
Dear Mrs***,
Thank you for forwarding the complaint *** received in
your office from Mr*** *** regarding the *** *** ***, ***,
(the “Vehicle”) that was purchased on or about October 25, at the CarMax
store located in Frederick, Maryland (“CarMax”). In this complaint Mr*** is requesting a
refund or a replacement vehicle
According to our records, Mr*** purchased the vehicle in
Maryland, but was residing in Florida.
Mr*** is responsible for registering and titling the vehicle
properly with the state of Florida. CarMax
sent out of state processing paperwork to Mr*** after the sale. CarMax attempted to contact Mr*** from
January 12, through April 2, to inform Mr*** that his lienholder,
Exeter, had not received proper titling information. CarMax provided two sets of temporary tags
for the Vehicle to give Mr*** more time to get the registration and title
taken care of. On or about March 4, 2015, CarMax Credit and
Collections department began working with Mr***.
As of May 22, 2015, CarMax is now in possession of this
vehicle and considers this complaint closed
CarMax appreciates the opportunity to respond to this
complaint.
Sincerely,

Re: *** ***
*** *** ***, VIN *** (the “Vehicle”)
Dear *** ***:
Thank you for forwarding the complaint received in your office from *** *** regarding the above referenced Vehicle purchased from CarMax of Austin, Texas (“CarMax”), on December 2013. In his complaint, *** *** cites issues with the Vehicle following an impact with a concrete barrier, and states that his insurance carrier has advised him of frame damage to the Vehicle that preceded his purchase. He further cites issues with aligning the Vehicle and requests that CarMax take return of the Vehicle and further compensate him through refunds of deductibles paid and time lost
It is CarMax’s understanding that at the time of the impact, extensive damage was incurred to the suspension and steering components on the front passenger side of the Vehicle. *** *** insurance carrier paid for repairs to be completed through a body shop. When the employees at the body shop were unable to align the Vehicle satisfactorily, *** *** states that he was advised that the Vehicle had evidence of previous repairs and frame damage. Additionally, he advised that his insurance carrier had declined to participate further in any repairs
According to CarMax’s records, *** *** had his Vehicle serviced at CarMax prior to the impact, and never reported an issue with the alignment. Additionally, CarMax records do not indicate that any repairs related to an impact or frame damage were ever performed at CarMax, before or after the sale of the Vehicle. In the interest of customer service, CarMax management requested an opportunity to inspect the Vehicle for the alleged frame damage. On September, 2014, the Vehicle was inspected, and no evidence was found of any frame damage. All welds appeared to be original welds from the factory. Further, while no attempt was made to realign the Vehicle on this visit, it was inspected on an alignment rack and found to be out of adjustment on the front passenger side in the area where it was damaged in the impact with the concrete barrier
CarMax management offered to contact *** *** insurance carrier on his behalf to explain the findings. *** *** declined this offer. CarMax also appraised the Vehicle at *** *** request six days later, on September 2014. *** *** elected not to sell the Vehicle at that time
It is CarMax’s position that the damage incurred to the Vehicle during the impact is the cause of the persistent alignment issues. CarMax has no record of frame repairs of any kind, nor is there a report of impact or frame damage on either a *** or *** vehicle history report. While CarMax declines *** *** request settlement as set forth in his complaint, CarMax’s offers to contact *** *** insurance company and/or to purchase the Vehicle for the appraised amount still remain
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me directly at *** *** extension ***
Sincerely,
*** ***

RE: *** *** ***
*** *** *** *** *** *** (the “Vehicle”)
Dear *** ***:
Thank you for forwarding the complaint received in your office from *** *** regarding the Vehicle purchased from the CarMax of *** *** *** (“CarMax”) on August 17th, 2013. In his complaint, *** *** shares his frustrations with on-going transmission concerns, stating that his current concerns are related to repairs completed in September 2013, during the 30-Day Limited Repair Warranty. *** *** is requesting that CarMax pay for the current needed repairs and provide him alternate transportation while the Vehicle is being repaired
CarMax’s research shows that CarMax diagnosed and repaired a shifting concern within the 30-Day Limited Warranty. At that time the diagnosis determined that the needed repairs were not related to the transmission. This was confirmed by an outside repair facility that specializes in transmission repairs. Furthermore, the current failure codes displayed in the Vehicle’s computer are different from the codes displayed at the time of the previous repair. Based on this information, CarMax has determined that the needed repairs are not related to *** *** previous concerns addressed under the 30-Day Limited Warranty
In an effort to assist *** ***, CarMax has already offered a gesture of goodwill by agreeing to pay 50% of the current needed repairs. *** *** is invited to contact the *** *** at CarMax *** if he chooses to accept this offer
Thank you for providing CarMax an opportunity to respond
Sincerely,
