Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I bought a used car with an extended warranty. a week later the fuel switch went out. i had to spend $80 to get that fixed at the same dealership. after a few weeks the turing switch started smoking so i took it to different dealership to get check out and they fixed it for $100 (co pay) while my car was being fixed they found a major oil leak and asked me if i would like to see if my warranty would fix it. the warrenty people came out and said no we are not going to pay the $1,500 -$2,500 to fix it. the car needs to go back to where you bought it so they can fix the car because the leak was preexisting . at that time i went and talked to one of the owners. he said he would look into it and advised me to go and let the service manager take a look at the car. come to find out the used car lot knew about the leak and did not tell me at the time of sale otherwise i would not have bought the car . i was told by the service manager that the sales department may pay to get it fixed and they declined. i am now stuck with a $320.00 a month payment on a car that i can't drive very much until the leak is fixed . i would like to get my old car back that i traded in. i was told that i would be able to under the used car lemon law act. one more note i also need to get the steering colum repaired that would be another $210.00 and i work for the company i bought the car from.
