My mother has serious problems with her legs and ankles and REQUIRES cruise control to sustain driving long distances. They told the dealer they wanted a safe car as well for my son who has already been through many operations including open and closed heart surgery. Upon bringing the car home they discovered it did not have cruise control, or ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System) which is standard in most vehicles now. I returned to the dealership to speak to the dealer that sold them the car. It turns out he left under unusual circumstances. A representative was supposed to provide me with information but instead I sat their for at least 20 minutes. He came back and replied, I&amp;#39;m sorry. I thought my GM was coming to talk to you. They said there was nothing they could do. They are sorry, its not their fault, etc... We then began hearing a clicking sound. We live 2 hours away from this dealership. The first time we brought it there, they said it was nothing. We kept hearing it. We took it up there again, still nothing. We had to get the oil changed the clicking was still there, asked them about it again. They told us the master mechanic took and put a new wheel cover on it, that&amp;#39;s what was causing the clicking. We left, the clicking was still there. I called them, upset of course, The women on the phone replied well our master mechanic drove it and didn&amp;#39;t hear anything... so they really didn&amp;#39;t put a wheel cover on? I spoke to the GM, he said he was unhappy about that, and this time he road with my fiancee. The clip that went between the axle and the wheel bearing was about to come off, the clip that held the tire on. They fixed it and again said sorry, it was a manufactures defect. Now, they tell me I&amp;#39;m stuck in a 19,000 dollar unsafe vehicle without ABS or cruise control, and I have to ride my 3 year old son around in this car regularly on 2 hour trips for doctor visits. This has been going on for over a month. I&amp;#39;ve asked to speak to the owner several times, the GM tells me that is not going to happen. I&amp;#39;ve never had any problems talking to an owner in the past for any business. This is not good practice.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please help me get this story out. People need to know what type of company they are dealing with.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>GM Bankruptcy</title><link>http://community.kbb.com/forums/thread/1570.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jun 2009 17:09:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">c9c2b6b7-aa50-4a2c-808e-b752e5975d27:1570</guid><dc:creator>DoubleBlazer</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><comments>http://community.kbb.com/forums/thread/1570.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://community.kbb.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=18&amp;PostID=1570</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;It is the headline news everywhere!&amp;nbsp; I am surprised that kbb doesnt have any opinion!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Global Warming: Which side are you on?</title><link>http://community.kbb.com/forums/thread/513.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 15 Jul 2008 18:24:03 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">c9c2b6b7-aa50-4a2c-808e-b752e5975d27:513</guid><dc:creator>KBBGreenEditor</dc:creator><slash:comments>7</slash:comments><comments>http://community.kbb.com/forums/thread/513.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://community.kbb.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=18&amp;PostID=513</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;The global warming debate seems to be growing increasingly contentious.

&lt;p&gt;Welcome to KBB Green Forums, created to take advantage of the simple truth that the more questions we ask, the more answers we get. Kelley Blue Book has been helping car buyers make informed purchase decisions for more than 80 years, and now you get to play a more direct role in that mission than ever. With gas prices and environmental consciousness at all-time highs, and vehicle propulsion technologies in an unprecedented state of flux, the decision to launch our first forums in conjunction with our all-new KBB Green section was an easy one. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So go ahead and dive right in. Ask a question, contribute an answer or just start a conversation. Wherever we decide to go, we&amp;#39;ll get there more quickly together. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
