Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Less than 48hours after i bought the car - it shut down on me in brooklyn- it would not start or turnover, so i returned it to the dealer by flatbed truck. the next day i was told to come and pick it up as there was nothing wrong with it. the vehicle was advertise as a certified pre-owned car - but i have been discovering many problems which should have been resolved before sale. the wheels were not aligned, the headlights were not aligned, the dual heated seats do not work, the engine squeaks a bit and the front windscreen has poor visability. and last night the speedometer and car temp needle both dropped to reading "0". we have asked the dealer for further info on the car since purchase and they have so far failed to provide and past history with the car.they have also failed to provide us with a manual for the car. *ak
