No way I would let it go, but that's your call to make. Who knows what else was screwed up by the hacks that "fixed" it? Lots of "fix it and flip it" guys will cut any corner just to increase their profit, even if it compromises safety or performance.

I suppose I could write a couple certified letters and shake some trees. Ive never took anyone to court but as hokey as the title paperwork is I could for next to nothing fill out the paperwork and name all three on the title and maybe they would want to do something vs go to court. Not to mention trying to find out when the damage was done and who fixed it. What im getting at is and im probably wrong but it might be easier for them to make things right vs court.



The search engines are semi good with newer car vins and info. Ive found alot on the car in the last 24 hours.

The smart thing for them to do is to make it right. A poor repair to the rocker panel on a unibody vehicle is a structural issue, and that's not something they should want to have their name on. They either knew, or should have known.

need a lot more info,
Did you buy this over the net?
How far way is the dealer ?
Did they claim accident free etc.
Did you check his background / reviews??
Possibly a case for BBB arbitration, their states DMV or Attorney general
What year model etc.
What did you pay with transportation ?

I would contact them ASAP in writing (Email is fine) about the problem(s) and do nothing else PERIOD until you get a response. It's a 3 day weekend so you may have to wait until Tuesday to get a response or follow up with a phone call.

As previously mentioned depending on the state there can be a lot of different resources available. AND NO DO NOT TITLE IT ! twocents beer

How far way is the dealer ? Dealer is 125 miles away. At the time I was very sick and with the virus deal I could not risk getting out with strangers, Im pretty far along on lung and throat exposure type cancer.
Did they claim accident free etc. And he even provided me with a printed copy of the car fax. YES,I told him I needed a SAFE car that currently needed nothing to get my wife who is a stroke victim/patient on 02 to get her back and forth to the Dr-s because all my other cars are not old people like her friendly. My car I used for her transport got totaled a month prior when a semi tire pealed off and came though the pass side windshield. Luckly I was alone and only ditched the car when I did a quick right jerk to avoid the flying tire parts but it hit me while I was still going straight at 65 mph.
Did you check his background / reviews?? Yes, 9 of the 10 were good.
Possibly a case for BBB arbitration, their states DMV or Attorney general
What year model etc. 2015 Dart SXT Rallye Blacktop One Less then 1% were made in the pearl hemi orange. I could of get a 20k or so less mile car if I wasnt stuck on the color.
What did you pay with transportation ? I paid top money for what should of been very nice clean used car. $8500 delivered.

I am my wifes primary care giver and I also work, if it would go to court id be dragging a frail little lady on 02 who can not remember her own address or even phone number.

The day he got his check I asked for an odometer pic.

I think I will start with the big dealer who has owned the car twice since it was new since there faulty paperwork shows it was drive 3 miles from big dealer to middle dealer? to the dealer I got it from.

Im finding a connection between the middle dealer and the dealer I got it from.

See the sales dates on the title?

These are not accurate at all and all filled in by the same pen/same person..... but there internet ads (even when the big dealer) had it online for sale dont add up.

I dont think they can skirt dates or mileage claims on the title??

So ya think I got some teeth to bite with?

Would you go after everyone on the title? And let the court figure it out?

I'd go after the dealer. I don't think you have standing to go after anyone else. The dealer is also the most likely to respond and take it seriously. If you calmly/politely point out the issues to them, emphasizing that this is a structural issue on any unibody vehicle, I think that will help.

Nothing helpful to add, sorry but my thought on all this is I'd be worried about this mess coming back on ME.

Hell, I've seen people on YouTube get bent and scream bloody murder over much, MUCH less on a new car. I know as a viewer you only see one side of the story, but in one case, based on what was shown with how a dealer handled the problem, he's pretty much sworn off GM products (he had to go to GM Corporate to get restitution).

Good luck.

I was speaking as if I was in your shoes. You bought the car with issues, chose to just let them go, then later on those problems (could) come back to you.

Make sense?
