engine to blow. So I was out of a car for 4 days. Already on probation at work, I told them that they needed to get me another car or I was going to loose my job. This guy named dave that works at drivetime told me well just find another job. That was really inconsiderate. I got someone to get me a rental that was 21. The car that im paying on was ready on august 4. But I didn't find out until saturday when enterprise was about to close. Drivetime cut the rental off on the 4th. Drivetime didn't contact me to inform me that my car was ready for pick up at all. So when they cut off the rental I was charged for the 5,6,and 7. Which is the an estimate of $180.00. I ask tony that work at the 103rd service center "why didn't you guys call me?" Obviously, he knew that he should have cause he really took offense to it. And said its now between you and enterprise. They refuse to take any fault in not contacting and throwing a bill like that on me. I feel that they did it purposely and I want everybody out to know not to ever but a car from drivetime! I feel like they are just getting over on me because im a young black woman who doesn't know any better. But they are wrong I just need someone to support me and my voice to be heard. That's why I wrote you guys.........So keep it pumping, pumping, pumping.....Please get my voice heard. 904-374-6512. *Nm

found that it had only 5 small spot welds all of which had failed. Subsequent inspection of the left fender showed the same situation with 5 small spot welds of which 4 have failed. Had the left fender fallen off there is a very high likelihood of vehicle damage and injury. Although the trailer is 2 years old it has been used very little with less than 300 highway miles. This incident deserves investigation. This was a very serious incident that could have resulted in serious injury. I hope this was a filed qc problem and not routine construction. At the recommendation of the boat dealer, the trailer manufacturer was notified of this incident on monday morning october 11, 2004. All pertinent information was provided as requested. As of this time there has been no indication that the manufacture is willing to correct the problem. They have not returned subsequent phone calls.
