You do NOT need to write any addresses. Begin your letter as follows: Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with a recently purchased
car
from your company. It is disappointing to have received no response from the customer service team
, as I have tried every method to contact them. I have not received any replies to my messages or emails.
It has been nearly eight days since I purchased my second-hand Toyota from your showroom, and I expected no problems after completing the purchase. However
, after just a few days, the car
began to behave abnormally. Firstly
, the engine made loud noises when I exceeded normal driving speed. Eventually, the car
started stalling in some locations.
After experiencing these issues, I attempted to reach your support team
. Unfortunately, I received no responses. I would appreciate it if the team
manager could call me as soon as possible. This
would give me the opportunity to explain my concerns and seek a solution for my car
. Getting my car
fixed or replaced would greatly improve my situation.
I urge your team
to understand my concern and respond promptly.
Yours faithfully,
