The other day my Pacifica - that I just bought on 8/13 - completely stopped running while I was driving into town. I barely managed to turn into the driveway of the local health dept. I couldnt even get it up into the parking lot area. It was dead. The engine light was on. It was obvious the electrical part was working because I could put the windows up and down okay.
Well later after it cooled off I was able to drive it into a parking space until I could get someone to follow me to take it to the people I bought it from. I am supposed to have a warranty for 6 months or 6000 miles. Well I took it to the car dealer last night. This afternoon I went there to tell them what was wrong with the car and they told me the warranty doesnt cover anything like that. It doesnt cover the engine or the part that is messed up...the engine coils. We have one of those machines that read out the codes when the engine light comes on. The parts cost about 150 if you shop around for them.
They completely denied any liability. So then I pulled out my carfax and told them they had lied to me when they told me that the car had never been wrecked, wasnt salvaged, wasnt a flood car and had never been restructured. Well I have proof it has been. The idiot owner told me I should have been able to see that just by looking. They said they dont use carfax. I told them they didnt need to use the carfax because I had found out that they were the people who went and bought the car from the salvage yard in VA when the insurance company for that owner totaled it out. Then I showed them that the title had been sold to someone in July about one month before I bought it. See, it showed where the car dealer had bought the car and put in their name and then it showed that someone had bought the car the beginning of July and had it put in their name. It was sitting on their lot on 8/13 when I bought it. Obviously someone else brought it back!
The owner is refusing to do anything. He wont fix my car and he wont give me my money back. He asked me what would make me happy. I told him there were three choices. One he could just take the car back, give me my money back and all would be over. He could give me half my money back and I would keep the car. I had another dealer tell me that the car would have been worth no more than 4K when I bought it and that would have been if I didnt have the issue with the hood being off track and the problem I had originally with the door and window locks. Or the final choice is I am going to sue him and I will get my money back. He said he wouldnt do anything.
I will go get the car tonight when its cool and Tony can follow me in case it cuts off again.
I went to the dollar store and bought white shoe polish and have written all over my old dark grey truck...DONT BUY FROM DOBB'S THEY LIE. Or DONT BUY FROM DOBBS MOTORS THEY COMMIT FRAUD. People were watching me in the parking lot as I was writing all over the car and cheering me on...lol. They cant do a darn thing to me because its true. I will remove the writings if they give me my money.
Oh and a few weeks ago we found out this car dealer and a local lawyer were arrested by the feds. We didnt know why until the lawyers brother went into Billy's store today and told him...lol. Trafficking cocaine. I will bet the lawyer was the money and this car dealer brought the stuff in with his cars. Might be why my door panel was not on correctly!
So the fight is on!
