D&m autobrokers sold me a "death trap" vehicle that could not pass deq emissions testing. Multiple things kept going wrong, and the dealership had many opportunities to fix the issues. Eventually, all the issues with the vehicle and the numerous lies I was being fed were too overwhelming, I gave the vehicle back to the dealership and made a deal with gold acceptance finance company as well as the dealership d&m autobrokers for d&m autobrokers to purchase the loan back from gold acceptance and pay it off in full. This agreement was written and signed as well as a verbal agreement and understanding. The dealership made one payment that initially paid off half of the balance of the loan, and then decided to not pay the loan off in full at all, or send a single payment. My credit is now in the danger zone, they still have at least $3000 owed on the loan, and they are now claiming their out of business. I have complained to all the credit bureau's as well as the department of justice. Gold acceptance has been so wonderful in leading me in the right direction as well as providing help to get this taken care of. I do need this complaint to go through. This dealership has par-taken a role in my unemployment, as well as endangering my daughters and my life, as well as horrify my credit. I am requesting d&m autobrokers llc, be requested and made to pay this loan off, as well as all negative marks be removed from my credit. Please contact me @ [xxx] thank you. *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

I have had my mazda 626 for 6 months, since then I have replaced the front brakes, rotors and suspension, fuel pump and now the transmission. I need to also fix the rear breaks, rotors and suspension and haven't had the money. This car is the biggest flop I have ever owned and it only has 57,000 miles on it.
While driving vehicle started leaking gas. This could have resulted in a fire if it went unnoticed. Dealership indicated that this was caused by gas line breaking. *ak incident was preceded by gas odor. It leaked from under the vehicle and made a large puddle when stopped. Vehicle was never in a accident and was routinely maintained by the dealer. The dealer replaced the gas line as a goodwill gesture.
There is a gasoline odor that can be detected while in passenger compartment of vehicle. Dealership has not examined vehicle to determine cause of problem. Please provide any additional information / documentation.
