Tl*the contact owns a 1992 chevrolet caprice classic. While driving approximately 20 mph, the brakes failed when the contact attempted to stop at a stop sign. The contact shifted the vehicle into a low gear and allowed it to coast to a complete stop. She took the vehicle to a local mechanic and they discovered a leak from the abs modulator. The dealer stated that her vin was not included in nhtsa campaign id number 97v217000 (service brakes, hydraulic:antilock), although the failures were identical. The contact would be responsible for the repair costs. The vehicle has not yet been repaired. The failure and current mileages were 193,806.

The horn buttons on my 1992 chevrolet caprice classic (5.0l v-8), have to be replaced every year prior to vehicle safety inspection. The buttons function for approximately 2-3 uses before breaking and having to be replaced. *tr

I purchased my first vehicle, no line of credit at a auto auction, car cost 2,648.07 and payments $167.61 total 8,039.62 paid $ 1,000.00 cash deposit. The car broke down the next day, i had it towed to a garage, the warranty would not fix the car. Garage owner called audition owner to pick up the car as repo with my approval, and i also call and gave address to car auction dealer. They did not respond, the garage owner with my permission sold the car to someone who were to take over the car payments. The garage person said he did, and gave me $300.00, and said there is no need for me to do paper work a lien from the people would be sufficient, and they will contact the auto auction and take over the payments. I pleaded can i get paper so i can follow up, and the garage owner kept avoiding me. Now i was given a call from the auto auction owner, they located the car, it was sold three times all still having me as the owner, and a lien was never placed on it, nor did anyone contact the company to take over the payments. My mom said i transacted this business as very green, and they all took advantage of me. Now i will be sued, if i do not bring them 2,500 dollars for hiring an investigator to locate the car. The auto auction has the car, and does not want to negotiate but rather demand another type of payment for troubles i was unaware of. The garage owner is full of lies, i have him on tape recorder,and he is trying to get out of things pointing to him as a business car sales person miss representing me and not transacting in a professional manner. What do i do from here. *cn
