Person sold an inoperable vehicle. Using verbal manipulations he claimed in the add and later face to face that the vehicle has a clean title (carfax report shows it as salvage with multiple reported accidents and 8 service history records), certain mileage (148000 claimed, 223.300 in reality), he was the 2nd owner (3 owners in reality) and no major issues - was told in person during the sale operation, also told he was selling the car for his friend thats why there was a different person name on a title ((xxxxx)). Seller was convencing and did a great job at confusing igor and decieving him. The seller lied about the smog check also and took advantage of the buyer - the car didnt pass the smog check the next morning 6/27, and later the same day didnt start anymore for good. Seller send a text message to igor that same morning saying that car is overheating and water has to be placed in the radiator daily, but it's a very dangerous procedure as the water inside the tank is of a boiling temperature and can splash uncontrollably under pressure resulting onto an injury, which was a mockery as by that time a car was marked as inoperable by a mechanic and that was a miracle that it made it to the curbside. Currently it is absolutely dead metal. The car was fraudlently and intentionally made to work just one day specificly to make a sale. (xxxxx) intentionally gave out the false facts about the car and misled (xxxx) towards the sale completion. (xxxx) trusted the seller, false info and fake odometer pictures thats been forced at him, as he couldnt see things clearly in person and was misled and verbally manipulated. All records as documents on this car, add screenshots and text messaging between (xxxx) and seller (xxxx) are available as proof.

My 2005 Dodge Neon entered into a collision with a 2001 Ford Taurus on 7/4/2014. My vehicle hit the Ford Taurus head-on into the passenger's side of the Ford Taurus at about the middle of the Taurus. My seat belt had kept me in my seat, but the air bag had failed to deploy, resulting in permanent injuries which will require pain management and surgery at some point. The posted speed limit was 45 mph, and I was estimated to be traveling at around 40 mph at the time of impact.

Because rain season here in Mexico we had several days raining almost the entire day. Yesterday when a take mi wife to work I noticed that the rug of my cars floor was wet, at night after work I tried to check why the water was inside my car and I noticed that below the back seat was wet, I disassemble the back seat and notice that there was water below the seat and due to that all the floor below the rug has water (1 to 2 liters of water), I notice that the clips that give route to the harness (tail lights, pump, and trunk wiring) has water, it seems that this could be the problem; from factory nobody try to seal this parts, so water came through this by the holes made to locate the clips. I take my car to the service from factory and tell me that they will check it.
