| I PURCHASED TIS CAR IN JUNE 1999. I ASK THE DEALER BEFORE I DROVE IT OUT OF THE YARD IF THIS CAR HAD BEEN SERVICED, THEY STATED IT HAD. I DROVE THE CAR ON TUES. THE 15, AND IT STOPPED. AND HAD TO BE TOWED, I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE BATTERY. I WAS OUT ON SAT. THE 4TH OF JULY AND IT SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF B'WAY. IT HAD TO BE TOWED, I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE ALTENATOR, I WAS LEAVING THE MALL IN PARAMUS N.J. IN AUG.1999 AND IT SHUT OFF I CALLED FOR A TOW AND GOT BOOSTED TO GET HOME. IT SHUT OFF ON ME AGAIN IN LATER SEPT. EACH TIME I WAS TOLD IT WAS A WIRING PROBLEM. ON NOVEMBER THE 22, THEY PICKED IT UP AGAIN ANDI WAS AGAIN TOLD IT WAS A WIRING PROBLEM. ON JAN, THE 25 I WAS ENROUTE TO WORK AND IT SHUT OFF AND HAD TO BE TOWED, AT THIS TIME I WOULD NOT PICK IT UP BECAUSE I TOLD THEM I WAS GOING TO COURT, BECAUSE I HAD BEEN SOLD A BEAUTIFUL LEMON. THE SWORE I WOLD NOT HAV E ANOTHER PROBLEM ANDS I BROUGHT IT HOME. ONLY TO FIND THE FRONT DEFOGGER WAS NOT WORKING AND I HAS TOLD THEM ABOUT IT BEFORE. ON MARCH THE 21, I TRIED TO START THE CAR AND NOTHING. THEY SAID THE BATTERY HAD CORROSION ON IT . THEY ALSO SAID THE OIL PAN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I FOUND AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT IN THE FRONT. I WAS NOT TOLD THIS. NOW THE SALEMAN THAT SOLD IT TO ME IS TRYING TO OFFER ME SOME KIND OF DEAL. I TRULY NEED SOME LEGAL ADVISE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU. *AK | |
