On 02/21/09 I purchase a 2002 Audi A6 3.0 in frederick, Maryland for the amount of $5,808. I drove back the vehicle to selinsgrove, pa I almost did not make it. I noticed a lots of white smoke coming from the exhaust system and the car was shaken really hard. I pulled over cause the check engine light came on. Then I has to get out of the road 11/15 as soon as possible so I only could drive 40 miles per hour or the car will shake more. I purchased the vehicle with a personal check. I want this vehicle back to the dealer as soon as possible. I do not want it. Can I cancel the check? I have a senior bank account and I wrote the check for $5,808 to South street auto sales in frederick, Maryland. I will write a review online to consumers about the bad business of this dealership.
