2000 Infiniti G20

WE WERE SOLD A LEMON VEHICLE FROM EVANS MOTORS LOCATED AT 112 W ST JOHN ST, GIRARD KS BY EDDIE WALSH. WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE NOW FOR A LITTLE OVER 1 MONTH. THE BACK BRAKES WENT OUT, THE FRONT BRAKES WENT OUT AS MY SON WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THE BRAKE PADS WENT FLYING. THAT SAME DAY WE FOUND OUT THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND WOULD COST AROUND $1000 TO $3000 TO BE FIXED. EVANS MOTORS HAS YET TO EVEN ATTEMPT TO HELP FIX THIS ISSUE. THEY INFORMED US THAT WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND IT IS NOW OUR PROBLEM NOT THEIRS. MY SON IS A COLLEGE STUDENT WITH AN INFANT 2 MONTH OLD SON AND HE NEEDS A DEPENDABLE VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT HIS SON IN, TO GO TO SCHOOL AND WORK. I WANT SOMEONE TO HELP ME WITH THE ISSUE AT HAND. *TR

AT APPROXIMATELY 11:00 PM ON JANUARY 04, 2004 I WAS HEADING EAST BOUND ON INTERSTATE 10 AND EXITED THE FREEWAY AT THE ORANGE GROVE EXIT. AS I APPROACHED THE ORANGE GROVE INTERSECTION I PROCEEDED ON A GREEN LIGHT TO MAKE A LEFT ONTO ORANGE GROVE. TRAVELING AT A REASONABLE SPEED FOR THE INTERSECTION, I NOTICED A LOUD POP IN THE FRONT END, AND CONSEQUENTLY LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING. AT THIS TIME I WAS FORCED TO THE RIGHT AND CAME IN CONTACT PARALLEL TO A CEMENT BARRIER CAUSING MINIMAL BODY DAMAGE TO MY 2000 INFINITY G20. NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. *LA

I WAS ON THE EAST BOUND RAMP MERGING INTO TRAFFIC, A 18 WHEELER (NO LOAD) SUPPOSEDLY SWERVED TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID HITTING A CAR THAT CROSSED IN FRONT OF IT. I TRIED TO AVOID THE ACCIDENT BUT COULDN'T BECAUSE THERE WAS NO PLACE TO GO (NO MEDIAN TO THE RIGHT) WHEN I NOTICED THE TRUCK HEADING TOWARDS ME, I THOUGHT I HAD GOTTEN OUT OF HIS WAY, HOWEVER, HE STATED THAT HIS WHEELS/BRAKES LOCKED CAUSING THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK TO HIT ME DIRECTLY ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. WHEN HE HIT MY CAR, I WAS KNOCKED ACROSS THE HIGHWAY AND ENDED UP IN THE MEDIAN POINTING WEST, I DID A COMPLETE 180 DEGREE TURN, THE WHOLE DRIVERS SIDE WAS DAMAGED, THE GLASS SHATTERED IN ONTO ME, MY SEATBELT FAILED TO RETRACT AND MY SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I ESTIMATE THAT I WAS GOING ABOUT 45 TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY, AND HE WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DOING ABOUT 65 WHEN HE LOST CONTROL, FORTUNATELY THE TRAFFICE WAS NOT THAT HEAVY, IT WAS ABOUT 3PM ON A FRIDAY EVENING , THE WEATHER WAS CLEAR AND SUNNY, AND SINCE TRAFFIC WAS NOT TOO HEAVY ALL THE MOTORISTS WERE ABLE TO AVOID ME, AND I BELIEVE SEVERAL DIALED 911 WHEN IT HAPPENED BECAUSE THE CITY POLICE WAS THERE WITHIN MINUTES AND TOLD ME NOT TO MOVE THAT EMS AND THE STATE TROOPER WAS ON THE WAY. BOTH ARRIVED WITHIN 5 MINUTES AFTER I HAD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I WAS LEFT WITH RUPTURED DISCS IN MY NECK, BULGING DISCS IN MY LOWER BACK AND SOME NERVE DAMAGE. HE WAS ISSUED A CITATION BY THE STATE POLICE.*AK

THIS IS A NEW CAR AND SUPPOSED TO BE UNDER WARRANTY. THE A/C WOULD NOT WORK WHEN TURNED ON THIS YR. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD A ROCK HIT THE CONDENSER AND PUT A HOLE IN IT. WAS TOLD THAT THAT IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. FIRST OF ALL, IF IT ONLY TAKES A ROCK TO PUT A HOLE IN THE CONDENSER, THAT IS DEFINANTLY A DESIGN FLAW. ROCKS ARE EVERYWHERE ON THE HIWAYS. IF THIS VEHICLE IS THIS BADLY DAMAGED BY NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS THEN THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD HAVE PLACED SOME KIND OF SHIELD OVER THESE CRITICAL COMPONENTS.*AK

BOTH REAR SEAT BELTS LOCK AROUND THE OCCUPANTS EXTREMELY TIGHT WITHIN 0-10 MINTUES, TRAPPING OCCUPANTS IN THE SEATS. THIS HAPPENS WHILE VEHICLE IS MOVING, AND WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT MOVING. DEALERSHIP/MANUFACTURER HAVE BEEN TOLD ABOUT THE SEAT BELT PROBLEM NUMEROUS TIMES. SOLUTION GIVEN DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF THE SEAT BELT. *AK THE SOLUTION BY THE DEALER IS TO UNHOOKING THE SEAT BELTS, SLOWLY LEFTING THEM RETRACT AND REHOOKING THEM. *YH *SLC
