| I recently purchased a vehicle from rpm and a year later my motor had blown they charged me $1,100.00 for a new one. it's been 4 months and 3 motors later my truck still don't run the way it should. everytime i try to take it in they give me some excuse why they can't look at it. now that my muffler fell off i can't take my truck back in. yet in the meantime i have 30 days for my warrenty to expire on this motor. i can't afford another muffler. in the meantime i'v had to take beck 2 of there loaner cars cause they were broke. i've had to keep making payments for a truck that i could't drive. i didn't pay for the motor in the truck til i got it back they put that to a credit company. i still paid my monthly truck payments of $270.00 in the meantime. i feel this isn't fair. they should of looked at my truck when i tried to take it back for 3 times now instead of shoving me out the door. *ak | |||

| The design of the gas & brake pedals are too close to one another. whenever one is depressed, so is the other. this causes vehicle to not stop, but to accelerate when the brakes are applied. *ak | |||

| Vehicle was accelerating to pass a slower vehicle on a hill. the throttle became jammed in a full open position causing the vehicle to continue to accelerate in traffic . the driver in an attempt to regain control of the vehicle shifted into neutral resulting in the engine over reving. the engine developed a knock which was later diagnosed as a failed connector bearing. upon investigation as to cause of the jammed throttle valve it was discovered that a heat sensor (in the rubber boot between the air filter and the air intake manifold) had dropped onto the top of the engine insuch a way as to cause the throttle valve cam to jam in a full open position. this failure resulted in the engine being ruined and replaced at a cost of $2700 plus tax.*ak | |||
