My name is: steven encarnacion. Address: 1204 st. Joseph way, petaluma, ca 94954-5360, e:mail [email protected]. Telephone #(707)763-7437. This is the second (1st odi#: 719304) of four complaints (of which the third one is about a saftey defect that caused an injury) against g&c autobody, re:renting vehicles with the gross knowledge of saftey defects. On 01/15/2000 I rented my second vehicle from g&c autobody, a ford escort (customer rental agreement #25745, repair order#000676, cost: $5.00 per day) as a loaner vehicle while my vehicle was to be repaired. The ford escort wouldn't always start, there were times when I was stalled for fifteen minutes before it would decide to start, but usually I would just sit there and listen to the engine turn over and over before it would start. I was stuck in the parking lot one day at college for fifteen minutes with a stalled engine, when it finally started I drove it to g&c autobody to tell them that this car has problems. They called a mechanic to check it out and he said he couldn't find anything wrong with it. The mechanic also told me that if I have a problem with it to bring it back. I drove to their second bodyshop down the street to pickup some things I had in my car that was being repaired and when I got in the car to leave, it wouldn't start and the engine would just turn and turn. A crowd of bodyshop repairmen started to gather around because thay could hear me trying to start the car. So I drove right back to g&c autobody and told them that I want a different car, that this ford escort needs to have some work done on it. So they rented me a third vehicle. I was told to contact your agency by contact 4 (channel four news in the s.f. Bay area). No safety defect listed in the summary.
