The Sharpest Rides 2021 Subaru Impreza

Purchased a 2021 Subaru Impreza on June 19th. It was not disclosed that the A/C does not work and we were given a Valet Key for the car and no remote entry transponder key (FOB). Every time we unlock the door, the alarm goes off and it would not stop as we don't have the fob. It's going to cost in excess of $400 to get a key fob made at the Subaru Dealer. Not sure of the cost of the A/C yet. This should have been disclosed as it would have changed our decision to buy this vehicle - we would have shopped elsewhere. This was a high priced vehicle and although they are sold "AS IS", the decent thing would be to disclose the issues so that a customer could determine if they want to go forward despite the issues. Seems very shady.

Desired outcome: Would like to be reimbursed for the key at the very least. Not sure about the A/C yet. That cost is yet to be determined.

Bought a vehicle from Sharpest Rides and signed stating that the sale was contingent on the fact that they would fix a rattle and jerking motion. They said they fixed it but we immediately realized they didn't. We took the car for a diagnosis at a Transmission repair shop and they told us it would need a new transfer case and work to the transmission. Took it back to Sharpest Rides and they told my fiance that they would give us a rental and get the car fixed or put us in another vehicle. They did not have a rental car like they promised, so my fiance had to take an Uber back and has been without a car for a week. They are completely unresponsive now and we have no diagnosis after a week. It is an easy inspection and something their maintenance should have caught immediately, meaning they sold us a car with the full knowledge of the issue. I have asked multiple times for an extended warranty, a rental car or even just an update on the diagnosis without any luck.

The Sharpest Rides We bought a car over a year ago from sharpest rides financed by them

We bought a car over a year ago from sharpest rides financed by them. We have been on auto pay the entire time. Now we are being notified by pivot rock a third party company sharpest rides sold our debt to threatening to repo the car over a $80.00 Insurance scam that was never included in our original agreement with sharpest rides. Both companies have refused to address and correct this issue as a good standing customer who has never missed a payment or lapsed in my insurance. We are not upside down on this auto loan either the car is worth more than what is owed left on the loan so there is no reason for a company to force me to pay for separate insurance to cover them. When then car is fully covered by my insurance company. No one who pays their auto loan on time for over a year should be Threatened with repo over a fake $80.00 charge.

I bought a use car from the sharpest Rides on 7/14; It is a 2016 Nissan Sentra. At that time it had a check engine light on it. The sale person Michael Sena said that it was minor and that they,[the sharpest rides would take care of the issues. They even put it in my contract. I showed up at the sharpest rides on friday 7/23 to setup an appointment for the diagnostics check since no one called me as promised. I was sent to Jiffy lube on the 24th for the diag., the jiffy lube ran the diagnostic but said he couldn't print out the result. So i had him write them down, he would only write down the 2 "P" codes which stated that there was a Mass air sensor and Transmission problem. I took the codes straight to the dealer. I talked to a saleman there named Bill Peck at that time and he referred me to there service dept manager Frankie for repair. My car has been sitting in service from 8/5 to this point.My car has not been worked on. Frankie didnt know if car was there, he sai

The Sharpest Rides I purchased a vehicle from this company in September

I purchased a vehicle from this company in September . At that time they promised in the paperwork to provide a new tire puncture kit to me, since these cars do not come with a spare tire, and it was missing from the vehicle. It is now 6 months later, and after repeated attempts via both text and phone, as well as being promised it would be "taken care of" multiple times (the most recent being March 3rd). I still have no tire repair kit, no indication of it being ordered or shipped, nor a time frame to expect it to be shipped or received. The Tire kit retails for $497.50 LINK = (***) and is carried at the local Infiniti automotive dealers. I believe I have been extremely patient and understanding and that the dealer should immediately supply the kit, which is locally available, and preferably that they issue me a check for $542.00 which would only include the price of the part + tax, and not ANY compensation for my time and efforts to get them to fulfill what was promised.
