Description of the problem	After the problems with the rotor and pads which [xxx] says he did replace both back pads with generic pads even though my receipt showed something different; i went to get the car appraise to see how much i could get for it on a trade-in vehicle, i was told the car need front bushings so that knocked $900 on the amount they would give me for it. Bushings, on a car barely driven and i have a 10 year warranty that comes with it, a 10 year warranty i purchase and a 5 year warranty on the tires. Can you believe this? I can't. I guess if i drove it every day the way i should the car would be completely overhauled at my expense and all the warranties mean nothing; my money just went right up in smoke. This is definitely a piece of junk or i am being scammed. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
