Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA FROM PRIME AUTO SALES ON 10/19/18 FOR $4573.13. ON 8/24/19 I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MIDAS TO HAVE BRAKES INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE. MIDAS DID NOT EVEN WANT TO PUT THE BRAKES ON THE CAR, BECAUSE THEY SAY THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE IS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT AND I SHOULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT IS ILLEGAL FOR A DEALERSHIP TO SELL UNSAFE VEHICLES WITH THIS MUCH FRAME DAMAGE. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS OVERNIGHT. THEY HAD TO KNOW THIS WHEN THEY SOLD ME THE VEHICLE. ALSO THEY MISLED ME WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR BY SAYING THAT IT WAS AN ALL-WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE WHEN IT WAS NOT. NOW, NOT ONLY AM I PAYING A CAR LOAN BUT BECAUSE I HAVE A LOAN I AM REQUIRED TO CARRY FULL-COVERAGE INSURANCE ON A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT EVEN SAFE FOR MY FAMILY TO RIDE IN.
