Specifically asked dealer if car had been wrecked and was told no (with witness) - my concerns are that car may have been damaged beyond acceptable safety limits or repairs were not done properly, as well as misrepresentation at time of sale (car was presented and priced as non-wrecked) and non-concern when I showed them the damage signs within a month after the sale - I would like to check previous titles for salvage claims....headlight assembly popped off without warning....ABS system starts cycling during non-panic braking making it hard to stop, almost causing rear-end accidents on several occasions....rotors became dangerously warped, I replaced them with new pads (all four) and rotors are now warped again.
