On February 29, 2012, our customer entered into a Simple Interest Retail Installment contract when she purchased a Chrysler PT CruiserThe vehicle came with a year/36,
DriveCare Limited WarrantyIncluded you will find the Simple Interest Retail Installment contract and the DriveCare Limited Warranty for your reference
On August 26, 2014, we reached out to our customer to address her concernsShe informed us she has not driven the vehicle since it broke down months ago, however she has not taken the vehicle in for a diagnosisShe also informed us she had difficulty obtaining insurance due to the vehicle being a flood vehicleShe also stated she wants all money put into the loan refunded to her and return the vehicle
We advised our customer we need to identify what needs to be repairedOnce we have that information, we can determine how we can assistThis step would go through the warranty, however we were willing to waive the diagnostic fee and deductible as a courtesyOur customer declined
To address flood claims, we pulled up the Experian AutoCheck Vehicle History Report from the time of saleThe Report can indicate the vehicle being registered in a storm area, and/or have a water damage recordIf any of the items were applicable, these items would be noted in the Vehicle Information section on the Experian AutoCheck History ReportOur customer signed and acknowledged the reporting of a clear history from water damageWe have attached the Experian AutoCheck Vehicle History for your referenceWe asked our customer to provide us with the documents the insurance company obtained the flood information from but she declined to send it because the insurance company told her to not to release it to DriveTime
To address the refund our customer was requesting, we advised a refund of all payments made into the loan is not a possibilityIf she decided to return the vehicle, the payments would stay with the vehicleIn addition, to consider the possibility of getting her out of the vehicle, we would need to know what repairs are needed on the vehicle, which our customer declined to do
At this time, our customer would like DriveTime to apprehend the vehicle as a repossession and not go through the process needed to see what resolution we can ultimately provide
As a goodwill gesture, DriveTime has sent our customer a $American Express gift card

For full response, please see attached. On December 22, 2017, after receiving our customer’s rebuttal response, we contacted her to discuss her concernsOur customer was unwilling to provide additional information as in regards to her dissatisfactionOur customer disputed the fact she
received a copy of the Experian Auto Check Vehicle History Report at the time of saleWe informed her we have a signed copy of this and would be happy to send it to her for reviewOur customer declined and informed us she did not want to discuss the matter any further at this time
(Please see the attached for the full response.)Thank you for bringing this matter to our attentionWe appreciate the opportunity to readdress our customer’s concernsSilverRock is an affiliate of DriveTimeTherefore, DriveTime is working closely with SilverRock on behalf of our customer to address her concerns in a timely manner. Our customer first mentioned her concern with the tires on September 11, Within the first 30-days or 1,miles of purchase, should the tires need replacement, SilverRock would authorize the repairs with no out of pocket cost to our customer per the terms of the Limited WarrantyDuring our customer’s Limited Warranty period, she was provided the contact information for five different repair facilitiesHowever, no claim was initiated until approximately three months later on December 26, As our customer was outside of the Limited Warranty, these repairs were denied as non-covered components under the Vehicle Service ContractAt this time, our initial offer to cover the cost of one tire remains openShould our customer provide further photographs verifying the other tires are in need of replacement, DriveTime is willing to review the matter furtherThese photographs would need to be provided to us by January 17, The continuation of this review relies on the cooperation of our customer should she desire further review
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.Because they are still not accepting that no air compressor goes out that many times in yearsIt's to hot in Texas to always have to deal with a AC issue that should have been fixed twice already and to now expect me to pay anything more is just not rightAnytime I received a call from them regarding this matter I callback when I canEven left messages before finally getting a call backSo them saying I did not reply is a total lieHave call records to prove that. Regards,*** Lewis
DriveTime has reviewed the conversations in question that took place with our customerWe contacted our customer on February 1, 2017, in attempt to assist with her concernsWe advised her we cannot review for assistance without having an updated claim initiated through Aeverex, by a repair facilityDriveTime contacted the repair facility who previously diagnosed the vehicle in attempts to gather information regarding our customer’s concernsThe repair facility advised the only concern they notated was regarding a GPS codeThe repair facility advised they were unsure if this was related to emissions As our customer has purchased the 5-year/50,000-mile Vehicle Service Contract all repair or diagnostic claims filed by any repair facility, should be initiated through AeverexDriveTime has offered to waive the first hour of diagnostic time at an in-network repair facilityAdditionally, we have approved for the preferred vendor to remove the GPS unit and reinstall at no cost to our customerWe have reviewed our files and found that our customer’s purchase, finance of the vehicle, and the administration of her loan has been handled in accordance with our standards, procedures, and all applicable lawsAt this time, we are requesting a claim through her warranty so we may have an in-network repair facility identify the underlying issue and potential path for correction DriveTime understands the urgency when it comes to any vehicles’ ability to pass emissions and complete registrationHowever, there has not been a claim filed by any in-network repair facility to determine the underlying cause of the electrical issuesWe will continue to work with our customer to reach an amicable resolution

(Please see attached for full response)The last conversation between our customer and Aeverex took place on November 14, when she advised of engine issuesAfter our customer provided an odometer reading of 111,miles, Aeverex determined that she had driven 53,miles since purchase
Aeverex explained to her that the VSC was expired by mileageThey advised there would not be coverage for current or future repairs.Our customer contacted Bridgecrest on November 24, to inquire into the possibility of reducing her paymentsShe advised that since the VSC has expired, she is no longer responsible for making any payments towards that serviceBridgecrest explained to her that she opted into purchasing the VSC and while it has been expired by mileage, she remains liable for maintaining payments on the accountThey further explained that Bridgecrest does not have any refinancing options available and suggested she seek refinancing opportunities through third parties such as banks or credit unionsOur customer expressed dissatisfaction with their response and disconnected the phone callAt this time, DriveTime and Bridgecrest are not able to restructure our customer’s loan or paymentsIf our customer has paid for the transmission repairs, as suggested in her complaint, she may submit her receipts to Bridgecrest to review for loan modifications to defer paymentsShould the vehicle need further repairs, we encourage our customer to have the issues diagnosedOnce an itemized estimate is available, she may forward it to us to review for possible assistance
