Defective vacuum
- - The vacuum had an odor on first use and began to smoke.
- - Support was unavailable for the vacuum; only subscriptions were offered.
I got a friend to pick up a car and driver vacuum cleaner. On first use it had an odor but I thought it was because it was new.
It was picking up but it started to smoke and the smell got stronger. I tried to call for support but was told there was no support for the vac, only for subscriptions.
User's recommendation: Avoid any products as customer support is not available. I now own a piece of car and driver trash.

Verified ReviewerHigh price of renewal
Disappointed with no response from them I guess customer service is not a priority for them. Never been ignored like this before.
I renewed my subscription in December of 2025 for $34.95, yet in latest edition it shows $13.00 for 1year and other special pricing. So why am I being charged triple those prices ?
- Great magazine
- Unannounced price increase
Preferred solution: Price reduction
User's recommendation: Keep your eye on renewal rates

Verified ReviewerRude customer service.they hung up
- - Darnell refused to share his name or ID or connect to a supervisor.
- - Jeremy refused to connect to a supervisor or provide corporate number and hung up.
No one ever returned my emails
When I asked him for his last name or ID, as he had asked of me, he refused to provide either. I then asked to speak to someone else or his supervisor, but he refused to connect me to his supervisor. He also refused to give me the corporate number. He passed me over to another employee who was even ruder.
The second employee, supposedly named Jeremy, also refused to connect me to a supervisor or provide the corporate number. Jeremy then abruptly hung up the phone.
- Worst product and customer service
Preferred solution: Apology
User's recommendation: Avoid car and driver
