Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I purchased a 1999 ford escort from carmax in may of 2001. about 2-3 wks later i constantly had problems with the headlight going out. i got ticketed by the police several times because i was unaware of the problems. then one day driving from work my engine died. without any warning at all. i took it to carmax and they then took it to another repair shop. whenever i put the ac on there is a rumbling coming from the front end of the vehicle. frankly the car is a lemon and i had no idea because there was no reports on the car and i remembered asking the sales rep. if there was anything about the car that i needed to know and i was told no. please let me know if there is anything that i can do because i am spending money on this car for manufacturer problems. thank you. *nm
