Same year. What appeared to be in excellent running condition. When she wanted to test drive the vehicle on the highway the sales associate informed her that wasn't necessary to go ahead and just go around the block. Her inexperience prevailed and Realizing she probably was at a small loss for the value of the vehicle she signed the papers.
Less than 100 miles on her new experience with her new used vehicle shut down and left her stranded. She contacted Korum and after a disagreement dispute they agreed to give her a loaner and fix the van. The loaner was a suburban at three times the gas mileage as the Windstar. One month later after many promises that her vehicle would be ready the next day she got her New used fixed up Windsor with a supposed transmission. She noticed the mileage on the Windstar was well above the 85 miles she put on it.
So with her repaired van she headed out. All of the sudden two blocks away the dash board lit up like a Christmas tree. Worried she called Korum. They told her to bring it back. She had to argue with them to get another loaner car with was a Saturn in an unsafe condition that barely ran. That's when I stepped In to see if I could help. They said the power steering pump and an electrical issue was going to take them a few days to repair.
I realized right away they were taking advantage and I told her to get her exterra back. She needed to take her business elsewhere. She asked for her Exterra back and apparently they just sold it the night before. Lies lies lies. Almost three weeks later her van was ready. They told her the salesman was fired. Doesn't make. A difference actually. She was nice about it. I told her to kick some you know what but she remained polite and nice as I was getting a little impatient and outraged.
We went to pick up the van and it appeared to be solid. Giving back the second loaner we drove home. The next day my wife and her went to take the kids around to take care of business. About an hour into it they pulled over because the dash lit up and smoke was billowing out the hood. They called Korum and I was on my way. A man in a truck with a trailer showed up to pick up the van. I gave him a piece of my mind and for a little sideways. Mainly I do feel bad about it but her agreed we needed to fist fight right there in public. Knowing o would probable get my but kicked in front of my kids I backed down.
I told him I wanted him to to the van to a real mechanic. (((competitor's name redacted))) on Canyon Rd. He agreed and rudely placed the vehicle in an unauthorized location rudely confronting the sales associate who had no clue what was going on. I asked the owner if he could work with us on payments, I told him what was happening. He agreed to try. He replaced the power steering pump which was supposedly bran new and took three weeks, in one day. He also ran a diagnosis, simple easy found out there would be a couple more areas that needed immediate attention.
Korum would not reimburse my sister for mileage on the suburban that we estimated at over $300 difference for the month. They agreed to pay half of the out of pocket expense for the maintenance work by my mechanic. Overall they gave shitty mrchanics, shovanistic sales representatives, poor customer satisfaction. I would really hope they somehow experience this nightmare individually for themselves. I will never recommend this place or ever shop there. I wish my sister had a little more experience. I felt she was disrespect and five months later am still holding a grudge against these scoundrels.
sorry, allowing you to give a competitors name would instigate others to just file against their competition, to only come back later to suggest their company, ..plus, if you post a competitors name more than likely they will show up on search engines as a Rip-off! - - your comments on this policy are welcome.

Complaint Against Wrong Dealership

review/complaint. Korum Ford is a reputable dealership operating only in Puyallup, and takes pride in its customer satisfaction. It is unfortunate what happened to this consumer but Korum Ford is clearly not the responsible party.
He promised to be the most transparent of any administration before him, when in fact he is just the opposite. I believe he is a usurper.

*Still* not getting why you think I am a "liberal"
AUTHOR: Steve - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, March 22, 2012
Anyway, your logic (and morality) is, as usual, quite twisted. I do not wish on ANYONE to have their spouse cheat on them. Just because you have to suck it up sometimes when you experience X does not mean I am wishing X upon you. Anyway, like I said, good for her, as long as she doesn't moan in a few years how she should, say, not get yelled at for being late to work because she is a "single mother".
BTW, do you think Obama is a Muslim or a Kenyan?
My morals are quite fine thank you, I do my best to not sin and do not force my values on anyone, unlike you liberals.

Cory, EVERYTHING is now money over morals!
AUTHOR: Southern Chemical and Equipment LLC - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, March 20, 2012
Are you kidding me?? Look around!
Everything in our country and our society in general operates on the "money over morals" concept!
1. How many MILLIONS of people die in our country every year because they do not have access to adequate health care? They die simply because money profits are more important than preserving human life. Money over life! (How "moral" is that?)
2. Everyone in our government knows that cigarrettes contain a highly addictive drug, and that smoking is a DRUG ADDICTION of the largest proportions, but still has not been outlawed. WHY? You ask? Because of big business special interests paying off our lawmakers. (money over morals).
3. How many women every year have abortions simply because they cannot afford to have and raise a child? (Money over morals).
I could go on and on here, but I'm sure you should get the point.
Also, remember those marriage vows..."for better or for worse".....right?
Food for thought before spouting off about "morals".
Our country is morally bankrupt. Move on.
What is worse is the fact that you assume this POS husband of hers even provided for her the way he should, he sounds like a real loser, almost as much as loser as you guys are for blaming the victim.
I hope each of you have a spouse or girlfriend cheat on you and bring you a nice case of Syphilis or Gonorrhea, it would serve you right.

She comes off as a spoiled pouty whiner crybaby

Tell me, OP, have you spent any time stationed in a war theater?
Okay, I'll concede he wasn't a husband of the year candidate, but give me a break.
Maybe the chicken came before the egg here, and he cheated in part because his wife is such an unforgiving and incompetent drain on him, and anything but a back-home comfort for him to look forward to returning to.
Or maybe he's just found out how inflexible she is, or may kindhearted folks like the original poster pushed her to divorce the guy.
Since you, the OP, are such a super competent know it all, why don't you do all her shopping for her from now on, so we don't have to hear about any more ripoffs involving her?
Your resort to juvenile insults pretty much sealed your case here as belonging in the discard file.

The money does not go one way

SUBMITTED: Friday, March 16, 2012
And again, if she thinks that is being a whore or whatever and decides to leave him, fine. As long as she OWNS this decision later in life when she realizes that she has cheated her children, and not moan about how tough it is to be a single mother.
And of course not all single mothers go on food stamps, but they are definitely over-represented in that population. Single motherhood is one of the greatest predictors of child poverty and delinquency we have And yeah, I know there is a selection bias, and correlation does not equal causation, but it is still a damned good predictor. She should find a decent guy to marry her ASAP. Church would be a good start.

If a woman stays with a man that cheats on her JUST FOR the support and $ involved, that makes her a whore. This woman obviously has higher standards than you do. How in the fuck do you just come off assuming that just because she left her cheating shit bag of man, that she will be in poverty and on food stamps? You are a class A retard if you think she can not make a living herself or she won't find a man that will love her and treat her right.
You and those that think the way you do are a shit stain on society in general.

There is something wrong with your reading comprehenson
AUTHOR: Steve - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, March 15, 2012
Heck, you aren't even good at ignorant political stereotyping; the stereotype of a conservative, not a "looney liberal," is that they are reactionary, anti-women, etc. You might want to get a bit more education than listening to talk radio.
What I am saying is that, as a parent, one should care more about the well-being of their children than "swallowing their pride". And when she does end up in a life of poverty (which includes having to deal with sleazy, low-rent car dealers like the one described in this complaint), she will have to take responsibility for choosing that over being "crapped on". But instead I'll be paying for her food stamps.
#14 Consumer Comment
Wow, your logic is really twisted
AUTHOR: Cody - (U.S.A.)

So, because she is pregnant, she should swallow her pride, self respect and stand idly by as her cheating husband commits adultery against her. That is a really messed up way of thinking you got there. You call that being classy?
No one should be forced to accept being crapped on just because their quality of life may suffer if they refuse to put up with it. I guess you would probably be one of the ones to cheat on his pregnant wife, believing she would stay with you, since she so desperately needs your support.

"doesn't really pertain to the issue"?
AUTHOR: Steve - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, March 14, 2012
All I was saying is that single mothers tend to never be able to get out of poverty, and thus, for example, have to go to scummy used car places like this one.
Here are a couple more questions that I am curious about, and of course you are under no obligation to answer; I'm just trying to get a feeling for how "the other half" lives: how old is the woman, how long was she married for, and how long did they know each other before she got pregnant? Did they get married because she was pregnant?

Response to "brucedaddy7"..still not getting it.
AUTHOR: Southern Chemical and Equipment LLC - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, March 14, 2012
It is common knowledge that car dealers are scum, in general and cannot be trusted.
With that said, anyone who does not have the mantal capacity to deal with these types of people, shouldn't!!
This is just common sense.
It's a cruel world out there, and anyone that calls themselves an adult should know that.
It really is just that simple.
Car sales is a business.
Business exists to make profit.
For one party to gain, another must lose.
That's just how it works.
Get used to it.
Common sense.
You can only get ripped off if you allow yourself to be ripped off when making a deal on a vehicle.
It is always "buyer beware".
Again, just good old fashioned common sense here.
Some of us learn our lessons the hard way, and some never learn.
Get over it.
Grow a pair, and grow up.
Move on.

Sure the guy was wrong, but that is no reason to screw yourself, and screw your kids.
Then again, we are talking about a crowd that says things like, "The guy that was the supposed mechanic got a lesson from me when I had to pick up my stranded family. I wanted to punch his face out his arse." So we are not exactly talking about the intellectually elite here.
#22 Consumer Suggestion
Always take a knowledgeable person along when car shopping
AUTHOR: Southern Chemical and Equipment LLC - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, March 13, 2012
There really is no "rip off" here as she willingly made the deal.
Nobody forced her to make that deal.
And, I still don't see the "discrimination" here (spelling corrected).
The bottom line here is that she is an adult and is responsible for her own bad decisions.
As far as the OP goes, a refresher course in 3rd grade spelling and grammar might make your post easier to read, and give it more credibility.
So, is it a "Windsor" or a "Windstar"??
Anyone with a shred of common sense would know that an 11-12 year old vehicle coming from a dealership was just one step away from going to the auction! Common sense would tell anyone to get a third party with vehicle knowledge to check out such a vehicle before making the purchase.
Just plain old common sense here.
Never put "reputable" and "car salesman" in the same sentence.
All car salespeople are sleazy, at best.
Again, just plain old common sense here.

They have a backyard mechanic do there repairs in a so called shop across the street. I seen it looks like something from Tiajuana Mexico. I know they go to pull apart. Also the mechanic put almost five hundred miles on the vehicle somehow. I don't know how since everytime my sister drove it broke down.
The guy that was the supposed mechanic got a lesson from me when I had to pick up my stranded family. I wanted to punch his face out his arse. The mechanic I took itvto had it back on the road in a day. However she still can't afford some of the repairs needed to be done. O2 sensors brakes alignment, shocks and I think the transmission they found for it needs adjustments. These guys did a number on her.
