I just took a car I just bought from Autos Direct four days ago to Pinnacle Auto Repair in Lyndhurst. The mechanic took a look under the hood and said the engine had caught on FIRE!!! The issue that likely caused it HAS NOT been corrected, so it could have started on fire at any point as we were driving it. It has a front exhaust manifold problem, fuel line leaking, antifreeze leaking and a broken crossover pipe. They let me drive away with my children in this immensely hazardous vehicle. I contacted the dealership, and the owner has agreed to tow away the vehicle so I do not have to endanger myself or my family by driving it over. He also agreed to issue me a full refund. This was a very stressful and scary experience for me and my family, and I will be glad once it's all over.
UPDATE: They did eventually refund my money, though it took them a while to process some of it.
