I PURCHASED A USED HONDA FROM THE ABOVE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. IT HAD A PENDING OIL LEAK AND A DEAD BATTERY. OVER THE NEXT TWO MONTHS I HAD TO RETURN TO HAVE THE LEAK FIXED. FOR UNDER MY PURCHASE CONTRACT THE LEAK WOULD BE REPAIRED. AFTER THE FOURTH TIME RETURNING FOR AN OIL LEAK, THE DEALERSHIP(FINDLAY TOYOTA) SAID I HAD A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. UPON REQUEST OF WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO AND WOULD THEY HELP ME AND WOULD MY 2 YEAR WARRANTY PAY FOR IT? NO WAS THEIR REPLY. I TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WAS ABLE TO HAVE IT EXPOSED,(YEH, RIGHT!) AND PAID FOR THAT REPAIR. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP ALSO FOUND SOME OTHER FAULTS WITH THE CAR THAT IN MY MIND SHOULD HAVE BEEN HANDLED IN "TOYOTAS POINT INSPECTION BEFORE SOLD TO THE PUBLIC." WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS? DO I NOW OWN A LEMONCAR? ITS VALUE HAS SIGNIFICANTLY FALTERED NOW DUE TO THE CRACKED BLOCK. *AK
