Complaint Review: Honda Cars Of Corona

After many attempts to have Honda Cars of Corona do the right thing I have decided to take the Dealership to court and to sue for the unethical business practices's of theirs and for the illegal contracts being signed then fraudulently enforced knowing what they are doing is wrong.

Honda of Corona phoned me at home 3 times after leaving their lot. Claiming to have a pre approval on my behalf they never had.

I sensed something wrong the night i was there and attempted to leave. But was pressured into staying. I was rushed through signing. And when discovering my interest went up 3% i immediately wanted out and was refused. I had no idea what the Bait & Switch was and just knew this all was very wrong! And now when requesting to be let out within minutes of signing a contract was being told no. Was being held to this sell and told too bad. Was told Americredit "My current financers" were who raised my interests rates. I repeatedly kept asking to see the pre approval but Never did they show me it. They couldn't becauase it Never Existed. It was a lie! They were holding me to the contract knowing they had lied. And So In Fact They Had No Legal Right To Hold Me To Anything! The "Truth In Lending Act" says: they have to disclose the full terms honestly or the contract signed is void.

But the Dealership had No Regard for Federal Law or Any Other Law. They outright lied, Scammed, and Comitted Fraud and now held me to the bad deal.

Now after Repeated Copmplaints and one day being threatened with the police I finally decide to accept i am bound to this deal and the jeep is mine.

But now 10 days later "after having the jeep put over to my insurance with Americredit as a the financer" I am informed to bring the jeep back and the deal is rescinding.

I ask why and am told No Financing! Wait!! This all was behind my being pre approved REMEMBER?! Where is the pre approval i had? Revoked i am told. That is BS.

Then my monies are shorted when refunding my Down Payment paid to them in cash monies. They had while my truck was there put 4oo miles on it, did unauthorized work on my rear breaks and damaged them very much. I complainmed and a date was set to take my truck in and let them replace my disc switcher and fix my breaks. As well as tune it up "due to the 400 miles put on it". I left my truck a day and when picking it up my tire was going flat as we stood there talking. When i took my truck i didn't even make it home before realizing the problems were worse. The next morning when i went to get in my truck i noticed my tire was completely flat. It cost another $40.00 to have my tire changed and then another $30.00 to adjust the rear breaks.

Then i was informed more was to the problems then that and advised to go to Ford to have my truck diagnosed. I ended up replacing the rear ABS sensor, but that also did not fix the problem. Almost two weeks later "totally beside myself" i pull into a side shop that worked on another vehicle of mine a while back. They took the time to really look at my truck and it was discovered the truck was a danger to drive.

Rear breaks had to be replaced completely, "due to damage and glazing of drums." Then upon further inspection i am told my engine was over filled by 1 quart and the transmission by 2 quarts.

How did Honda Cars Of Corona make such huge mistakes as these? There is no way certified mechanics through the course of a tune up did not realize they had over filled the cars fluid levels to such extremes. They could have totally blown my trucks transmission and engine up. But caught before that happened, "I was informed by the mechanic to consider selling my truck ASAP" Due to the transmisskion being on its way out now!! I believe a direct result of over filling it by 2 quarts.

I have in writing the findings that day and how my truck was unsafe to drive.

Now on top of calling me at home, lying and comitting fraud with this contract, misrepresentation, refusing to let me out once i see my interest was raised, a Bait & Switch having been attempted, cutting my monies short left as downpayment "paid in cash for the jeep", and holding me to this deal; fraudulently...

Now Even More Violations were done in the Unauthorized use of my trade in vehicle (putting 400 miles on it) and then doing un authorized mechanical work on it , you damaged my truck and gave it to me broken. When having the chance to fix this all, make me whole and let me walk away~ you sabotage my truck. Giving it back unsafe to even drive. Refuse to do anything further, have ignored my complaints to the BBB and to Consumer Watch. Then you send me a letter recently claiming any further actions by me will be considered Harassment! OH MY GOD! Are you for real Honda Cars of Corona. No The Harassment was when you called me at home targeting me for a Yo-Yo deal and a Bait & Switch Scam. Lying to get me there, signing and then holding me to to a fraudulent deal, damaging my truck when doing mecjhannixcal work you weren't supposed to do, stealing from me, and then replacing with a lessor value product!

I did not ask for this
You threw it on me!
Now you need to fix it.

At this point i have lost days working and lost money, i lost money in maintanence and repairs, am struggling in my bills as a result and am having costs to fight you. I have been deeply affected and emotionally am drained behind this all.

I just asked to be made whole "Mark Golembeski" and for those involved in this scam at your Dealership fired or severly punished! But Mark Golembeski of Honda Cars of Corona; You decided to back the actions up and condone
"Predatory Practices" "Yo-Yo Scams", and "Attempted Bait and Switch Scams" You failed to make me whole and in fact have avoided me and acted like thios whole situation has been no big deal. Well to me it was a very big deal and on top of exposing Honda Cars of Corona, I figure this all was done to me with the thoughts of in the end making $18,351.00 approximately from this deal. So since you targeted me and came to me with that amount in mind then I feel it only appropriate to come after you for that amount.

Off top $18,351.00 "that you targeted me for" I figure you should in fact pay that off top to me. For my damages and emotional strain.

I have lost days working to this. I work from home. But have not had the time to work because of this all happening, and being beside myself that a Dealership purposely targeted me for it. Also my costs for filing a law suit against Honda Cars of Corona, for the picket signs, for the printing of reports to be distributed about the rip offs from Honda Dealerships to Myself as well others, for the costs of mailing the certified letters out, and work to my truck, and time spent putting this together to fight back. if need be the costrs for every picketer at $200.00 an hour each. And more to come. I need my truck replaced with one that isn't damaged or for my truck to be fixed right and back in the good running order i left with you in.

I feel all costs at this poibnt should be yours. Honda Cars of Corona targeted me to do this all. That's not okay. I will go to jail for breaking lawes and You snub your noses to those same laws. That's very very wrong. AQnd so now its time Honda Cars does right or I fully plan to excerside my first and fourteenth Amendments rights! I will only become louder. I will expose this dealership every way possible. Mark Golembeski your Dealership Targeted me for this and Now i am going to follow through to the end with this. Your Dealership Hurt my family and that's not okay!

PS I have written documents to back all my claims against Honda Cars Of Corona. Every paper signed and proof to all my claims here. Off top until Benjamin and Gary Addey are fired or severly reprimanded I will not be happy. Violation of Federal Laws is no Small Thing. I will expose Honda Cars of Corona every way possible. Including notifying the News Media. I will only become louder until you fix the wrongs As well as take you to court if my monies and damages not compensated. I only came for a bigger vehicle for my growing family. I never asked for all of this.

I am writing in response to what Honda Cars of Corona did to me. I am amazed that a dealership would seek out someone, as they did with me, to misrepresent a deal. I was brought back to the dealer ship with a promise of a Pre-Approval that never existed and rushed through signing the contract despite my many requests to review the contract. That by definition is a pressure sale and unethical if not illegal.

I tried getting out of this deal because my interest was raised 3% I was told no cooling off period, only after they were unable to roll me over to their high risk lender did they offer me the opportunity to get out of the deal During this time my truck that was used for the trade in was driven over 400 miles, the disc changer was stolen out of it and it had damage to brakes and ABS system as Well as it was returned to me dirty with a flat tire from road hazards. All of this and then I had to pay to cash to the check for the down payment because of the cheesy merchants account they have set up with Bank of America. so I lost money frlom my downpayment with them as well.

After trying to handle this with the dealerships general manager and then being passed down to another; the general manager is now avoiding me.
I was instructed at the time of signing not to make my current payment due on the truck , that it would be covered in the deal, and since the deal unwound I have been charged with late fees. I have requested these fees be refunded to me from the dealership with a letter to my financers whom i was led to believe from start of this was financing this vehicle too,and again I am stone walled.

Mark Golembeski refuses to handle the fact that his sales team committed fraud when they called me at home 3 times after they failed to make a deal on the lot previously and fraudulently lead me to believe that my current lender had pre-approved the financing.
This cannot be allowed to go unchecked. I have been seriously affected and am emotionally beside myself that this would be done to a customer.

That's where they overplayed their hand. I am reporting to everyone who will listen and want this matter taken care of. Damages Reimbursed and at this time Reimbursed the Time and Hassles and Emotional Stress of it all. I did not go to be treated this way and ripped off. I just went for a new vehicle that was bigger. With money in pocket and in good faith. Please check over all the papers being sent and someone get back to me. I can't allow this to be done again to another person! I can't help but wonder how many others have been treated in this manner.

Pressured through the sale and then sent home with a vehicle that "though it had a 140 point inspection" still in only two days was showing problems and turned out a road hazard and needed to go back in shop another day.

Before this could happen i am called and told return my jeep and deal is unwinding. Questioning again the preapproval and backing the finance man into a corner we discover that my finance company Never Pre Approved Anything. In fact since then i have discovered that they in fact on the same day this deal went down Refused another loan. The dealership lied outright and then Stole from me, treated me as lowlife and also damaged my truck, shorted me monies, and then once taking my truck back in to repair the damage caused by them (resulting from unauthorized work done to my truck while left in their care) and tune up after taking 400 miles; They Made The Problem Even Worse and Then Refused To Do The Job Right. . .

Since then as my truck was increasingly getting worse i took my truck to a side mechancic shop that had worked on other cars I've owned. Upon their inspection I discovered
1. my rear breaks were glazed over and causing the locking up my rear breaks to point of being unsafe.
2. My Engine was over filled by 1 quart
3. my Transmission over filled by 2 quarts!

I have the problems found in writing from this shop and have in facyt now been advised to let my truck go ASAP due to damage caused to my transmission. And that costs almost the worth of my truck. Very expensive to repair and Honda Cars of Corona deliberately did this to me.

My biggest problems come in the fact i left their lot and they called me back with a promise of a pre approval that never existed! Then after their yo-yo deal i got my property back damaged and missing parts. When my property was replaced they had downgraded me on my disc switcher and have the attitude: Be Happy They Did That Much.

Well Honda Cars Of Corona I Am Not At All Happy. I am Very Angry that you Targeted Me At Home After I Walked Away From Your Dealership! You had me sign contracts under False Circumstances That's where they overplayed their hand. I am reporting to everyone who will listen! I want this matter taken care of and for Honda Cars of Corona to be held responsible.

Damages Reimbursed and at this time Reimbursed the Time and Hassles and Emotional Stress of it all. I did not go to be treated this way and ripped off. I just went for a new vehicle that was bigger. With money in pocket and in good faith.

I can't allow this to be done again to another person!

I can't help but wonder how many others have been treated in this manner. How many others has Honda Cars of Corona Targeted, lied to, had fraudulent contracts made up, yo-yo deals, and how many others has Honda Cars of Corona damaged their vehicles.

I cant see why federal laws are in place if not being upheld. Seems these dealerships think they can do anything and no one will do anything about it. They think they can cross lines breaking laws, comitting fraud, scamming customers, and costing them lots of money to recover from these so called scams. From the loss of property and damages done to our vehicles left with them. There is no good excuse for any dealership doing these things. But to call you up at home repeatedly with lies and setting you up for all of this is just way too much.

they called me at home 3 times to rip me off! And have really hurt me. they half a*s fixed my truck and replaced my propert with property of half its value and have said too bad.
This cant be allowed!Committing Fraud to do so and Violating Federal Laws~ then Used My Truck (Putting 400 Miles On It), and Damaged My Truck when Performing Unauthorized Work On My Vehicle Before Rescinding.

They called me at home 3 times to Rip Me Off! And have really hurt me. They took my truck back into the shop to redo the rear breaks (after doing the unauthorized work to my rear breaks to begin with.) I have been informed it is in my interest to sell my truck fast due to what the damage over filling transmission did to it. How do certified mechancics make such huge mistakes as this?

And now I have a written statenment as to what all was found when I had my Mechanic go over my truck to find the problem. How does a dealership over fill your fluids to such degrees?? I feel that was deliberately done against me. The rear breaks being done so badly (when they had nothing wrong in the first place) and the work was done without my consent.

How many rules does this Dealership think it can break?? Crossing federal lines and comitting fraud. Then putting 100's of miles on our vehicles and with or without our consent doing work to our vehicles (we never agreed to or consented on.) Downgrading the equipment you had to lesser value. This is just out there and off the wall crazy.
This cant be allowed.
