NHTSA Complaint #11289931 — 2001 ACURA MDX

TRAVELLING ON CITY STREET TIRE CAME OFF WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD SON AND 14 YEAR OLD BROTHER IN-LAW WITH ME IN THE CAR. PURCHASED VEHICLE FROM TRAVIS @ KTS AUTO SALES ON 09/23/19 ON 09/24/19 THE CAR WAS CONSIDERED UNSAFE AND BASICALLY NOT DRIVEABLE.. PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE TRAVIS TOLD ME HE HAD THE VEHICLE 3 WEEKS AND COUNTING AND HAD BEEN COMMUTING HIS SON BACK AND FORTH TO SCHOOL AND TOLD ME FOR SURE THE VEHICLE RAN GOOD AND DROVE GOOD. WELL IT DONT AND HASNT SINCE THE DAY AFTER I PURCHASED IT. THE ONLY THING HE WILL AND HAS OFFERED OR TRIED TO DO TO MAKE IT RIGHT IS TO TRADE IT BACK FOR AN OLD HONDA CRV IN POSSIBLY WORSE CONDITION AND WAY LESS IN VALUE THAN THE VEHICLE I PAID FOR, I HAVE 3 CHILDREN ( AND TRAVIS KNOWS I DO) SO I TOOK THE HONDA CRV ON A TEST DRIVE ANYWAYS CONSIDERING I HAVE KIDS AND REALLY NEED A RUNNING AND DRIVING CAR AND STOPPED BYE MY MECHANIC TO TAKE A QUICK LOOK AT IT AND HE DID AND SAID ABSOLUTELY NOT THAT HE WOULDN'T NOT TRADE THE ORIGINAL ONE WE BOUGHT FOR THE HONDA CRV AND SAID IF IT WERE HIM HE WOULDN'T EVEN PAY SCRAP VALUE FOR THE CRV IT WAS RUSTED ALL THE WAY AROUND THE ENTIRE CAR INDERNEATH AND AROUND MY MECHANIC SAID IT WAS VERY UNSAFE THAT IF WE WERE TO BARELY GET HIT OR HIT SOMETHING IT WOULD CRUMBLE AND FALL APART AND THAT THIS VEHICLE HE WAS TRYING TO GIVE ME TO REPLACE ANOTHER UNSAFE VEHICLE WOULD BE EVEN MORE DANGEROUS THAN THE 1ST VEHICLE WAS.
