I purchased a used car in 2004. Later when I brought it in to the dealership for the balljoint recall, the dealership refused to get involve in assisting me in pursuing the extended warranty that I had purchased with the car regarding other critical issues with the drivability of the vehicle. This vehicle should have been jumked which I eventually ended up doing. The vehicle was very dangerous to drive on the freeway and I only drove it on city streets only. The dealership I believe should have given me a loaner car insead of me risking myself in a dangerous vehicle. The wynn's extended warranty should have returned the vehicle to the original dealer when I purchased the vehicle. The dealer should have assisted me more in pursuing the correct repair of this vehicle which should have been salvaged from a previous accident. Right now I am out of $1000 warranty and a vehicle purchased at $5000. You will have to hold the warranty wynn's or the business that sold me the vehicle responsible. This business tried to weld the transmission casing broken in the accident back which I later found out at another repair shop. This doesn't look good for the reputation of the company or the brand. Any recourse do I or NHTSA have against the manufacturer. The dealer is out of business
