What is the name of your state?Indiana
I purchased a vehicle from a dealership less than 30 days ago. I started having problems about 2 weeks ago, have had it checked by a mechanic and was told it is the transmission. I was also told by the mechanic that there was no possible way I could have done the damage to the transmission in the short amount of time that I've had the vehicle. Mechanic also said someone (either previous owner or dealership) had added something to the transmission fluid so the car would appear ok. The 'fix' has apparently worn off.
I have done a vehicle search and found that this vehicle had been used previously as a rental car. I know that some states are supposed to disclose this information even if the purchaser does not ask. Is Indiana one of those states? I questioned the dealership about what I believed to be high mileage on the car and was told that the previous owner probably traded it in because they wanted to upgrade to a different model. I was never told it had been used as a rental car.
I do not have an extended warranty on the vehicle, but do have the balance of a manufacturer's warranty. Do I have any legal recourse?
