Administration on 6/26/20 a dealership made a tenative sale on a usec 2005 vehicle intentionally decieving potential buyer. Vehicle was unsafe to drive as it made misfire and the fluids in vehicle were all missing from each tank. The salesman denied me the right to test drive or opportunity to replenish missing fluids, advising vehicle is as-is. I explained I drove 60 miles one way and was not told the vehicle was as -is or in such terrible condition. Manager refused to assist me or speak with me as I would complain. The salesman said, "take it or leave it"!!! I did not purchase the vehicle but it must be listed as unsafe in a nationwide alert as left driver side impact on doors from bumper to front passenger door, left side fender hanging off, vehicle shaking bad, computer hardware and caps missing on engine. Please have dmv in Delaware red flag this dealership and recall this vehicle as I was almost a victim under lemon law hertrich Buick GMC of seaford 26953 sussex highway seaford, de 19973 www.hertrichgmcbuick.com (888) 313-4253 dear [xxx], we have received your price quote request and thank you for your interest.

It began with squeaky noise steering it ended with steering completely locked up undrivable. Mechanic said he saw that alot in that year model. Replaced the steering pump worked ok for 6 months or so & the same thing. Had to tow it. Mechanic said needed to replace the entire rank & pinion & that it may or may not correct the problem. He did some kind of adjustment charged me $250 & I was able to steer. 6 months down the road its doing the same thing esp light comes on a dragging noise& troubles steering. I notice it more maneuvering to park in a space...
