CONTINUED...IT IS RIDICULOUS OF THIS IAB@NYPD.ORG TO IGNORE COMPLAINTS OF SUCH UNSAFE CARS AS THIS SMALL LITTLE CAR THAT THEY USE THAT I SAW TODAY WITH THE NYPD 101 OR NYPD 105 THERE THAT HAS REGULAR LIGHTS ON THE TOP OF THE CAR AND CAN BE USED FOR REGULAR POLICE WORK ALMOST AS STUPID AS THE NYPD HWY UNIT CAR THERE WITH NO LIGHTS ON THE TOP OF THE VEHICLE THERE THAT COULD BE USED FOR CHASES ALSO. I MEAN HOW MANY TIMES IS THE NYPD GOING TO BE QUESTIONED OR REPORTED FOR HAVING UNSAFE VEHICLES PLUS THEY IGNORE ME AT IAB@NYPD.ORG?????? WOW, I KNOW THE LAPD USES THAT TYPE OF SMALL CAR THERE FOR LIKE BRINGING PEOPLE AROUND BUT THE NYPD AS I SAW WITH THE CAR TODAY WITH THE NYPD 101 OR NYPD 105 THERE ON ROCKAWAY TNPK THERE CAN BE USED FOR REGULAR POLICE USE THERE. WOW. A CAR THAT SMALL CAN BE USED FOR REGULAR POLICE BUSINESS??? THAT IS JUST AS BAD AS THE NYPD HWY UNIT CARS WITH NO LAMPS ON THE TOP OF THE VEHICLES USED FOR REGULAR CHASES ON HIGHWAYS.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2015 Scion Fr-s verdict →
