My daughter had saved all the money and purchased in cash. We felt good buying from a dealership in case we had problems and were presented with a clean CarFax. The car leaks through the windshield and engine compartment. Also the headlights dim when you slow down. We had noticed a smell the day of purchase and the sales person took it to the service department for 3 hours and had it checked out. I called Miracle Toyota and they said to bring it in. The sales person Sara Feliz would meet my daughter (18) in the service department. Today she took the car in as instructed, no sales person. The car needs to go to Mazda as it is still covered by a factory warranty. The dealership manager Richard Sanchez refused to provide a rental or loaner for what looks like an extended repair. My daughter is stuck with no car to drive to work or drive a car that might not be safe to drive. This is especially disheartening because my daughter bought the car with money she received from her father who died last year. These people are dishonest. Don't buy anything from them.

Causes over heating and poor fuel mileage. Worker did not check to see if catalytic converter was bad. Worker just brushed me off. Worker just treated a result of bad cat converter not the cause. When I asked about the rattle, worker just said caused by string hanging from door. Ha Ha. Coordinators who take info on cars are inexperienced and untrained. This lack of skill by those working on cars has cost me $800 in extra repairs so far and Cat Converter is not repaired.

Upon arrival I was introduced to a sales man named. I was interested in the new Ford Focus, but ended up not caring for that vehicle. Kader showed me a few other vehicles, but nothing was satisfying for me. The last vehicle Kader showed me was what I thought a 2009 Ford Freestyle because that's what he had told me. We test drove the car it seemed fine when he took it off the lot. I only drove the car 45mph. We returned to the dealer he said he didn't do the numbers and he would have another gentleman by the name of Carlos fill out the paper work. Carlos came to me and said they were going to take my trade in pay it off and I would drive off with the Ford Freestyle. He said I worked out the best deal and I signed off on the papers. When I left the dealer I drove my vehicle on the high way. The high way speed was min. 65 and as I was starting to increase my speed to 55 I started to notice that the vehicle was dragging when I step on the gas and the car started to shake. It continued to do this as I increased to 60. Another thing I noticed was when I back the car up the steering wheel feels hard when starting to turn the wheel it does not glide. It also makes a whistling noise when I turn the wheel as well. When I returned home I was looking over my paper work and I also notice the vehicle was a 2005 instead of a 2009. Immediately the next morning I called Mr. Fall on his cell phone and I didn't get an answer. I tried several times to get in touch with him on his phone left messages for him to call back and he never did. I then decided to call the store up and have them transfer me over to speak with him. The receptionist would place me on hold and then tell me he's busy with a client or in a meeting and he would call me back. She also asked me what was my calling in reference to and I had explained to her my situation. I continued to call Kader up to Mo
