I purchased a vehicle from Ed morse Cadillac on 12/31/2025. I find out in April that the vehicle was sold with undercarriage damages listed in Carfax. The dealership, never disclosed anything, did not show me the reports, and i did not sign anything to accept the damages. They do not want to take responsibility. The vehicle might be dangerous to drive and is really demeaning in value because of this.

The contact owns a 2021 BMW 750I. The contact stated that upon start the vehicle, the low tire pressure warning light illuminated. The contact initially took the vehicle to the dealer and an independent mechanic however, the cause of the failure was not determined. The failure persisted and the contact took the vehicle back to the independent mechanic who discovered a crack in the rear driver’s side rim. The tire was replaced; however, a month later, the same failure occurred on the front passenger’s side rim. The vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic where he was informed that the failure was common with the model vehicle. The tire was replaced. Recently, the failure occurred on the front driver’s side rim. The dealer was notified of the failure and offered insurance to cover the cost of future tire repairs. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The most recent failure was repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 25,000.
