Anyway, When we test drove the car it was snowing very heavily, so we did not drive the car as much as desired, but had a good idea that we liked the car. The TPM light was on when we first got in the vehicle and the salesman said that the tire was a little low from sitting outside for so long and once it warmed up the light would go off. After driving the car for a few minutes we returned back to the dealership to discuss the sale, all the while forgetting about the TPM light. The car came with a Carfax and stated that it was in a "minor accident", but remember that the car is certified... When we drove it home that day and the snow stopped we sped up a bit to see how the car ran, and had an awful vibration in the front of the car. At the time we attributed this to a low tire. A few days later we noticed that the transmission was shuddering a bit when upshifting, so we decided to make an apt. at a local crossfire certifed dealership. It turns out the front wheels are bent, tpm is broken off inside driver tire, car has a misfire, seal and cap for transmission dipstick is missing and water is getting into the trans. The total $ is atleast $3200 if they just drain, replace fluid and filter in trans, replace wheels, tires, and tune up. None of this is covered under the CarMax btw. So I call the dealership we bought the car from and they tell me that they don't believe the local dealership and there is no way the car can be that bad or it would not have passed ceritfication. I of course tell them that it is that bad and the car had only been driven 2x and the rest of the time it has been in the shop. So at this point they think we damaged the car, and want us to bring the car to them so they can verify the complaints. I know they are going to fight us on this, so what would you do in this situation? Thanks in advance.
