Heres a time line of my Troubles With Little Texas Autos.
07/28/2011 Put down payment on 96 Honda Accord and drove off the carlot.
08/03/2011 passenger window got stuck down and would not roll up until I manually pulled it up.
08/04/2011 The outside driver door lock stop working which meant my doors couldn't lock at all. Contacted the carlot and was told to drop off the car anytime at 9am during weekdays for a couple of hours to be fixed.
08/08/2011 The car ran hot on my way home from picking my son up from day care. and informed them that it did an they instructed me to drop it off at the carlot next day for couple hours to get the locks and window fixed along with the over heating.
08/09/2011 dropped car off an called later that day to see if had been fixed, in which I never got an answer or a returned call.
08/10/2011 After still not hearing from the company and trying several more attempts to call. I Went to the carlot at 3 pm adn was told the car would be ready in 1 hour and they would call me. After 3 hours pass and no phone call, I called the fax machine and was told by an employee that the car won't be ready til 12 noon next day and call the manager's cell which I was given at the time.
08/11/2011 At 12 noon I called the managers cell serveral times along with the land line to the carlot and no answer. About 2 hours later I reached someone which then was told it be ready after 3 pm. After picking the car up at 530 pm the locks were still not working on the two front doors. Mechanic advised he still needed a part to fix them which he had to order, as I started the vehicle an drove off the lot the car was making a mysterious noise. At that time I called the carlot back and advised them of the new problem and was told the mechanic didn't go under the hood and the noise was already on the car. & to keep driving the car and the noise would go away.
08/12/2011 After driving home from work the car ran hot again in which I called Little Texas Autos to inform them about the problem that they so called resolved in the past 3 days. They advised me to bring the car next day to drop it of to have the mechanic look at the problem.
08/13/2011 After taking the car to the carlot to be dropped off, I was advised to call back in 2 hours to find out what the problem was. I called back as instructed and was told the head gasket was cracked and they were fixing the crack with sealant and would be ready Monday. However, if the sealant didn't fix the crack it would be uo to the management to decide if I would be responsible for the blown head gasket.
08/14-08/19/2011 The car ran hot and started smoking, on me again while I was in traffic on the way to work. Luckily I was able to exit and pull to a gas station. In which, I called for a ride to work and left the car at the station. During the next couple days the car would run hot automatically, just 10 minutes of driving the car. Then the car statrted cutting off and not wanting to start unless givin a jump.
08/20/2011 Itook the car to the nearst service station by my home, and was asked to give a diagnostic on the car. After being called that the car was ready, the mechanic advised me that everything under the hood was bad. & the headgasket had been repaired a couple of times from the looks of it but you can not truley repair a headgasket only replace it when blown. He also advised me that the arlot had to know everything under the hood was bad before selling it to me.
08/21/2011 I contacted the carlot adn advised them that a mechanic looked at the car and said everything under the hood was bad. The only repsonse I received was "if I'm un happy with the car, ithey be more than happy to take it back. However, iowuldnt receive my down payment or first payment back in return of giving the car back".
