Because DriveTime’s Closed End Motor Vehicle Lease Contracts can be cancelled at any time, we do not offer any grace periodsA vehicle is contractually eligible for repossession as soon as the account falls past due, after waiting any time required by lawAs a courtesy to our customers, DriveTime often waits to days before assigning a vehicle to be recovered.

Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response 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
I would either like my money refunded or Drivetime to assume full responsibility for the repair billThe vehicle began experiencing problems immediTely after leaving their lotThey closed once I left and gave me the run around for answersThe repair process conflicted with my work schedule and a rental was offered only if I had a credit card wich I do notThe warranty I believe would imply me being responsible of wear and tear, but I know for a fact that vehicle had the issues prior and they failed to inspect and repair the vehicle prior to me leasing itI went to Drivetime in desperate need of a vehicle and they fed off my vulnerabilityI fear for those to come after me and be misguided by them tooMy children and I were put in danger and I was lied toIf the issues begN later down the line as a consumer I would assume responsibilityThe issues were persistent and present prior to me leasingand I feel I was jerked with a lemonThis resolution benefits the company whom intentionally took advantage of my need for a vehicle.

On July 07, 2015, DriveTime spoke with the authorized third party on our customer’s account, in regards to the non-covered recommended repairsWe informed the authorized third party we would review the estimate of the non-covered repairs for possible assistance. Later that day, DriveTime contacted the repair facility to be informed that the front grille had signs of impact damage. On July 14, 2015, the authorized third party contacted DriveTime to discuss her concernsWe informed the authorized third party DriveTime would not be offering assistance for the non-covered repairs due to signs of impact damage. At this time, DriveTime is unable to accommodate our customer’s request to repair the fog light and lower grillIf our customer has concerns regarding his brakes, he will need to take his vehicle to an in-network repair facility for a completed diagnosticOnce a claim is on file through Aeverex, we can then review for possible assistanceDriveTime is willing to waive the $diagnostic fee for our customer to take his vehicle in to address his brake concerns.

Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response 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
I am not satisfied because I purchased a defective vehicleThe warranty company referred me back to drivetime because it was defective the day of purchaseDrivetime referred me to the warranty companyThey messed me around for so long I got tired of dealing with a vehicle that wouldn't start and would cut off going down the roadI called many times even though there is "no record" of it but numerous emails were never answered when I asked to email so I would have a record to showI have no way of having a record of calls and what was said so that works to the company's advantage hence the reason I asked for emailsNeither the warranty company y or drivetime wanted to take responsibility and help so this is why I'm in the situationIf drivetime doesn't want to contact me in a proper manner I ask for so I have record of the contact then we have a problem as we have had the whole timeI'm fully aware of any and all contracts on the vehicle, drivetime broke the contract first by selling a defective and dangerous vehicle and this happened the day it was sold

Justin Nelson
