What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
Alabama
I have a potential legal issue with the dealership where I bought my car.
We bought a 2010 Dodge Caliber from a dealership here in town, still under all the warranties. It was presented to us as a car that had no history of damage, never been wrecked. We got a CarFax report from them showing it had never been damaged.
Well, it had been severely damaged and that fact was not disclosed to me. It has major suspension problems and control arm problems and I damn near lost control of it while driving. We took it to get it aligned and was told by the place the car had major damage and needs to be taken back. We took it to the dealership and they said they would look at it. They called back and wanted to do a car exchange. I declined that as the car they wanted to offer was not the same car I bought and the payments would have been higher. They are still telling me they do not know what the problem with the car is.
I bought a car that was presented as having no damage. Only to find it had substantial damage and not fit to drive. I am not sure they should have sold that car and I think they realize that as well. I am just wondering what my rights and options here would be.
