[redacted] Calibri;">Revdex.com Moorefield Park Drive Suite Richmond, Va Re: [redacted] Dear [redacted] ***, Thank you for forwarding the complaint received in your office from [redacted] regarding the [redacted] ***, VIN [redacted] (the “Vehicle”) that she purchased on or about Mach 13, from the CarMax store located in San Diego, California In this complaint [redacted] is requesting a complete refund of monies spent on the purchase of the Vehicle As stated in her letter, [redacted] had a concern regarding the odometer reading on the Vehicle based on information stated on a vehicle history report As part of research that was done, the Purchasing Manager at the CarMax located in San Diego, California reached out to a local [redacted] dealership He was told by an associate at the dealership that the mileage could be verified by reading the Vehicle’s CPU and in regard to this particular Vehicle, it is impossible to roll back the odometer because it is stored on the CPU It was also discovered that there is a high possibility that the mileage readings in question on the vehicle history report may have been in kilometers instead of miles, which would explain the appearance of higher mileageTo test that theory, the Purchasing Manager converted all recorded odometer readings to miles and it reflected a steady progress all the way through the time that the Vehicle was purchased by CarMax The Purchasing Manager explained this to [redacted] and she was satisfied with the explanation CarMax appreciates the opportunity to respond to this complaintPlease call me at [redacted] , extension ***, if you have any questions Sincerely, [redacted] Analyst, Executive Response Team

Thank you for a response, although I'm not sure that it was anything but a confirmation of what I had already said I had a long conversation with the dealership that diagnosed the original issue, which was carbon buildup that required walnut shell blasting, and had twice seen the car since I brought it back to Carmax because the engine had been damaged The dealership thoroughly explained the many issues with the engine and why they had recommended replacing the engine The service manager that I spoke with explained that there was a misfire code on cylinders and 4, that cylinder had a dead misfire, that the lifter in cylinder was jammed, and that there was significant amount of damage She said that they recommend putting in a new engine in these cases because often if you try to fix the engine it is usually not successful, and if it is initially successful there are usually underlying issues that only come to light after the customer gets on the roadShe said that in the interest of time, cost and safety the replace the engine entirely She confirmed that all of this was communicated to Carmax's service department explicitlyShe also said that they attempted to repair the engine and was unsuccessful, and that Carmax subsequently came and towed it off the lot Apparently they thought their service shop could do better than the Mini dealership in repairing a Mini engine Not surprisingly, the repair didn't work, and Carmax subsequently returned the car to the dealership I should mention that the dealership confirmed that this could be the result of not performing the walnut shell blasting as originally recommended The Carmax service department balked at the $cost, claiming that it was just a ployThe dealership said that "you have to take carbon buildup seriously" and that they have seen engine damage due to failure to properly address it before Subsequent research has confirmed that it is general knowledge that walnut shell blasting is the only real solution because of the way Mini cars are built Carmax failed to do this, opting for a cheaper remedy that temporarily allowed me to drive the car, only to repeatedly return because the check engine light had reappeared, and misfire codes continuedI hesitated to respond to Carmax's answer to my complaint because the response had said it would be a week before a repair, and based on my conversation with the dealership it was likely that the repair would not work Another cheaper remedy that would temporarily allow me to drive the car but ultimately fail and may not be safe for the road Miraculously I received a call from Carmax today saying that they were now indeed replacing the engine, but with a used one with 75k miles on it Who knows where that engine came from and what issues it has with it It's been three months now that I have been driving loaners and waiting for a resolution, and a year and a half since the first original check engine light Carmax is only willing to offer me half what I paid for the car, even though it is their own failure to follow the instruction of the experts that led to the damageA used engine with high mileage and an offer for half what I paid for the car is not a resolution, and the suggestion of prorated gap insurance and service warrantee does not pay off the loan It is Carmax's faulty service that created this situation, from not cleaning the buildup before the car was sold, and then not appropriately cleaning it when it was subsequently discovered and repeated service visits thereafter I would also like to mention that the same make and model of car with the same mileage is being sold by Carmax for 12k at another location It appears that short term profit is the only concern, even if their attempts to save money ultimately cost them, and/or their customers, moreAn easy $walnut shell blasting has now turned in to months of attempted repair and finally replacement of the engine What I am looking for is a refund based on the appraisal of the initiation of the issue, months after I bought the car

Revdex.com: I have reviewed the offer and/or response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below I do not feel this is the appropriate ***er to resolve the issue as I would still be spending $$ to correct an issue that stemmed from their negligenceIn my original complaint, I advised that they were willing to perform the alignment in an effort to prevent any additional damage to the tires, however, extending an offer to me to purchase tires at cost does not represebt them taking full responsibility for the damage that occurred prior to the alignmentThey've acknowledged on more than one occasion that the alignment caused the damage, minimal or otherwiseThe challenge seems to be that because the tire treads pass state safety standards and CarMax safety standards, CarMax does not feel the need to assume responsibilityI don't see how the customer is being treated fairly by paying $$ to replace tires that were damaged as a result of REQUIRED maintenance not performed prior to saleWhy should the customer be penalized for their mistake?

I decided to purchase a car from Carmax after getting approved through [redacted] , They recommended Carmax to me and after doing some research I found a car I liked and began the process to purchase the car from CarmaxThe car was a [redacted] abarth with under 17k miles on it, after purchasing the car and owning it for just under months many issues started to arise with the vehicle the [redacted] spent a total of months in my local swfl [redacted] dealer with a head [redacted] tech explaining the car was unfixable with an internal electrical issue, after contacting Carmax and explaining my frustration I was told I could trade the car in due to it being past the day money back guarantee, I was not pleased with this answer so I contacted the corporate office and explained the situation resulting in me meeting the gm of the local Carmax dealer and he was able to buy the car back minus the negative owed for tax tag and title, so reluctant from past experience I accepted and proceeded to give Carmax another chance, I ended up finding a car which I always dreamed of owning a mustang manual, and proceeded to purchase this vehicle for my replacementAfter the deal was over I took the car on a small road trip about miles round trip and noticed the car had some serious shifting issues and would not go into gear with ease, after contacting the gm and local store explaining the problem they advised to bring the car back asapAfter making it back home the mustang was towed back to Carmax due to the clutch/transmission failure, at this point I am very unhappy that my 2nd car was a bust and I am in need of reliable transportationso I decided to take a different approach and go with a everyday driver not a sports car from Carmax, so my adviser showed me a ford focus se automatic, with 40k milesnow at first I was very scared of owing this car due to it being used as a rental car its whole life but my sales rep explained the point inspection and the car was certified to be in perfect working order, that turned out to be falseafter owning the car months the clutch in the transmission completely gave out and the car was in some serious need of repairsthis is my 3rd car I purchased from Carmax all resulting in problems, I brought the focus back to Carmax and explained my issues and I just wanted to trade it in without me causing anymore headaches for the gmsadly they could not get me approved for financing due to them appraising the car for less then what I purchased it for months earlieri was forced to borrow money from my girlfriends dad and I ended up selling the car back to Carmax and paying off the different with a credit car to remove myself from the poisonous Carmax all togetheri do not recommend my worst enemy to buy a car or any vehicle for that matter from Carmax ever, was the worst car buying experience I have ever dealt with
