Carhaven

I purchased a 2017 Hyundai Elantra, with only one previous owner, low mileage, and no accidents, from Car Corporation on August 31st, 2020 for nearly $14,000. The car had not yet been inspected, so I previous owner, low mileage, and no accidents, from Car Corporation on August 31st, 2020 for nearly $14,000. The car had not yet been inspected, so I left that day without a car and it was delivered to me the following day, September 1st, 2020, after its inspection. Just two and a half months later (November 20th), and after only putting 900 miles on the car, the car broke down as I was driving it. I called my insurance company for roadside assistance and was able to get my car back home, which was only a couple of blocks away. Eventually, I had my car towed to Hyundai to see what the problem was. The techs at Hyundai said the engine failed due to no oil. Oil was puddled in under engine cover as well as covering the undercarriage of the vehicle. The tech had to add oil to check for a leak, and after starting the engine, oil was spraying from the filter area. The tech then removed the filter to check for double gasket and found the gasket on the filter was out of place. This defect existed at the time the car was brought to me on September 1st. I had no work done to the car in the short time that I had it. Used cars sold in Maryland that are less than 6 years old with less than 60,000 miles on them have an implied warranty, meaning the car is expected to function for a reasonable amount of time. I have reached out to this business countless times (via phone and email) to explain the issue and give them the opportunity to do the right thing, but they have not been responsive. This situation has been dragging on for awhile now and I need it resolved. Car Corporation sold me this used car and whoever they employed to change the oil filter did so incorrectly, which caused a lot of damage, so they're responsible. I have contacted the Attorney General and filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. I am also speaking with local attorneys. I recommend buying directly from a dealership (Hyundai, Chevrolet, etc.) that will stand behind their cars and happily resolve any issues that arise. More
