What is the name of your state? California.
I bought a used 2003 Chrysler minivan with under 10,000 miles from a Chrysler dealer about a month ago. Despite representations from the salesman that it was a "Certified Chrysler Vehicle" and a prior demo, I found out during the signing of the contracts that both of these things were not correct. The car had been a rental. But, the internet manager, who took over the transaction because the salesman was fired (supposedly for insufficient sales) said that the car still had the remaining miles on the 36,000-3 year/72,000-7 year warranty. He said that any problem would be covered. I took it to another dealer for service. They said that the car had been in an accident; the front bumper had been replaced and the accident had apparently cracked the radiator and caused an electrical problem affecting the air conditioning. The second dealer said that they could not repair my vehicle as the AC and electrical problems were caused by the accident. Additionally, the mechanic said Chrysler will either invalidate or restrict my warranty. I wouldn't have bought a car that had been in an accident (it didn't show on CARFAX) or that didn't have a warrantly. What recourse do I have against the dealer who sold me this car without revealing the damage?
