Complaint Review: Circuit City

In October of 2000 I bought 1996 Cheverolet Blazer from Carmax(I will have to do a seperate rippoff report for them). Through my purchase I was also able to include the purchase of an auto alarm. I was told that it would come from and be installed at Circuit City. The closest store to my job at the time was in Tinley Park. I dropped my truck off on a wednesday and wasn't able to get it back until friday evening of that week after I was told it would only take a day. I was glad when I finally got my truck back and it worked great.... for a while.

After about 2 months I would always hear this clicking sound in while driving. I had the extended warranty so I took it back to Carmax(or as I like to lovingly reffer to them CrappyCar Max). They were never able to findout what the problem was. Then when it rained or when I went through a car wash, the alarm would work and the clicking was louder. My check engine light seem to stay on.

I went back countless times until the warrant ran out. Still the clicking and alarm malfuntions. Then gradually my electrical seemed to be deteriorating. 1st my taillights went out, turn signals, brake lights, my headlights would go out on one side or the other. Now I have no interior lights. I had to give up a very much needed PT job of delivering newspapers because of of my getting pulled over and not being able to finish my route
