Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA FROM SMITTY'S AUTO SALES IN DES MOINES IOWA ON 2-24-2017 AND WAS TOLD CAR HAD CLEAN TITLE AND 70,000 MILES. I NOTICED THE ODO SAID 26, AND ASKED THE DEALER HE SAID IT WAS THE TRIP NOT ACTUAL MILES. I WAS SCEPTICAL ABOUT CAR SO I CALLED BACK THE NEXT DAY TO SEE IF THIS CAR HAD SALVAGE TITLE THEIR CRAIGLIST AD SAID CLEAN TITLE WHICH WAS FALSE. I WAS INFORMED IT WAS A SALVAGE BY FLOOD AND THAT THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T WORK. I WAS ANGRY ASKED FOR MY MONEY BACK FOR FALSE ADVERTISING AND AUTO FRAUD THEY KNEW AIR BAGS WERE NOT WORKING AND THE VEHICLE HAD OUTSTANDING RECALLS AND DIDN'T DISCLOSE ANY OF THIS IN WRITING. WHAT CAN I DO?
