| Description of the problem | We bought the car from on a sunday afternoon it was my gift for mother's day, the same day we drove the car of the lot the car stall for the first time and we call the dealership to ask about the problem. The dealership stated to bring the car in. After a few hours i received a call to come pick up the car. My husband was very surprise to know the car had stall and asked if there was something wrong with the car and we were told all it needed was a battery change. My husband proceeded to ask for management but the sales associate told us that it was normal for a car to stall once in a while??? My husband was frustrated with everyone, the sales associate informed us that the car had 3 previous owners only because they had purchased the same car newer. We did notice damage on the back bumper of the car but it had been painted over and also my husband notice the front had also been painted over. Again we argued with sales but got no where!!! Something should be done about this! A dealer-sales-associate should not put my family at risk just to make a dollar! There is something very wrong about that.
