From the desk of lmi's executive director: [xxx] i purchased 2012 equus on march 7, 2012 with 108,216 miles. The cars suspension started going bad as of last week. I brought the car back on march 20, 2020 to have a mirror replaced and to discuss the suspension problem. It?S been over a week and today them after a 45 minute drive i was told they had the wrong mirror...Even though i spoke with the service person ([xxx]) and he assured me everything was in order and he even scheduled an appointment for them to replace the mirror. While i was there i showed [xxx] the suspension and i was referred to the sales manager. Talk to the sales manager and he showed no concern...The sales manager gave me a look like, so what do you want me to do about it. I stated my concern and that i've only driven this vehicle 590 miles (to work and home) since i purchased it and the suspension should not be acting up already. I could see if i had the vehicle for some months but i had it roughly for about two weeks. Again, he showed no concern and restated the "as is" policy. I understand the "as is" part and i admit i did sign the document but the vehicle seemed fine at the time of purchase. My concern is the dealerships attitude after the sale. No one should treat customers that way. I understand why they have good reviews...It is because most of them come from people who purchased new cars or cars under warranty (my fault for not doing so) however a business should be able to work with or attempt to try help out a customer (it's called maintaining repeat business and developing customer loyalty).

After a few months of purchasing car the ecs light started illuminating which in return gave car a spongy, bouncy ride etc., height function would not work.
