Dealership\'s responsiblity???????????
This dealership sells Jeeps too, so this is technically on topic.
Back in November, my girlfriend got into a major front head on collision with a d|ckhead who ran a redlight, she was turning he was going straight so mostly head on. After she healed a bit we went new car shopping for her. We went to a dealership and picked out a 98 Sunfire that was used. One of the questions we had for the salesman was: "Has this car ever been in an accident?" Very straight forward and could be answered with a yes or no. He said, "No, none of the cars that we sell have been in any accidents. We check the title history and we don't purchase any vehicles that have had accidents." She bought the car. I noticed the first week she owned it that the horn didn't work and that the front end made a lot of noise on the highway. I suspected for a second that the airbag had been deployed since the horn wasn't working on a car so new.
She had it fixed and she was on her way. I suggested taking it in for the noise, but I figured it could also be uneven tire wear so we didn't.
I drove it the other day and just knew something wasn't right with the car, so I paid $20 and had a title check ran on the VIN #.
Found out that on 4/23/98 that it had a head on collision with another vehicle in Baltimore County.
Dealer said, "No accidents".
I am going up there tomorrow as a loaded gun and I'm going to get some satisfaction one way or another, whether by ourselves or with her lawyer.
I need to know from you guys, if you know, what her rights are in this situation. The car has a 5 yr warranty on it, but I know that front end collisions can [email protected]#k a car up for life no matter how good of a paint job it has.
What can we do?
Some help please. I know you fellas are the ones that can help me before I go to jail for getting my point across to them.
Thanks
