| I bought the car on 08/28/2010 and only drove it that day. since it was a saturday and they closed early, i had to wait until monday to contact them. on monday, a rep from the dealership told me that theysold the car to me from someone who didn't have a dealership or title for the car and he was using their dealership to sell and to retrieve the title once the sell was final. the car was ok when i left the dealership, but after a couple hours it died on me while i was driving almost causing a accident. on the dash it keep saying, check charging system. i know a lil about cars and i really need the transportation because i'm a college student at the university of wisconsin-milwaukee, i decided to try to get it fixed to my knowledge, but it seems as if it's something more to this lemon auction auto sold me. i replaced the altenator, voltage regulator and bought a new battery and nothing has changed. it'll drive for a hour or two then die while i'm driving. | |||
