I recently purchased a vehicle from a local dealership, I later found out that the airbag system has been disabled. The dealer showed me a fake carfax and repeatedly, infront of three different people, told me the vehicle was never in an accident. I have researched and found that a dealer must have me sign something stating the airbag system has be disabled.I tried many times to return vehicle but they refuse. I have turned it into the attorney general and am waiting a response. They suggested I also report it to the NHTSA. *tr

I purchased my 2007 Mitsubishi galant on april 28, 2007. After about 7000 miles, my brakes started pulsating. I took a day off work to return to the dealer and have them fix this problem. The service department decided to just re-surface the rotors and send me on my way. About 7,000 miles later it happened again... So back to the dealership I went again and once again, they decided to resurface my rotors.. Now of coarse at 22,000 miles on my vehicle, my break light has been coming on with the pulsation back and my brake pedal now continues to move toward the floor when at a complete stop. So back to the dealership again only to be told that my master cylinder & brake booster are leaking and they will replace the faulty parts but that my rotors are too low to resurface again and that I

The vehicle was towed several times to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 88,000.
On may 26, 2016 while traveling about 50 MPH going up a straight stretch of highway I heard loud banging coming from the engine compartment, then quiet for a second then more loud clanging. I immediately released the accelerator. My battery light immediately came on. I stepped on my brake but had to step hard to get it to slow my car. I approached a curve and had to really muscle the car around the curve. Luckily I was able to just roll into a resort parking lot. My belt was laying under the car but still intact. My mechanic said the water pump came apart and took the pulley with it, causing the belt to fall to the ground.
My check engine light was on; so the mechanic replaced the EGR valve w/gassket. I have driven my car about 500 miles and it still does not pass the smog test. The oxygen sensor is not ready. I've been told that I need to drive the car more.
