 I bought a used 2005 Nissan Altima from Delaney's on September 5, 2016. The first night driving it home it hesitated and shook a little bit and the check engine light flashed. The light went off and it drove fine again. I thought it wasn't anything serious because I've driven cars that misfired and was always just spark plugs. Than on September 9th, I drove it 5 blocks away to get food and it hesitated again. The check engine light came on again and stayed on. I went in to get food and came out and it wouldn't start. The battery was completely dead. My dad who is a senior master technician went to jump the car and did a full inspection on it for me and it has a rod knock.

I called the dealer to try to work something out and Eric told me that I broke it. I got upset and my stepdad got on the phone and Eric Said I'm a girl and I don't know how to check gauges . Said I probably had road rage and beat on it and it's my fault. First off, I come from a family of mechanics and I can read gauges. The gauges were fine. Some one probably drove it with no oil and they covered it up somehow. They are crooks and commit fraud. Do not trust them! Their solution is to come up with MORE money and finance from them! Yeah right! And there's no leaks! No way I could have done it in 5 days! Not even 5 days actually, 4 because I stopped driving it after that!

I comprehend quite well. You wrote, “The check engine light came on again and stayed on.” You admitted to continued operation of the vehicle with an illuminated check engine warning light.

“…why would I have stopped driving it?”

Easy answer: To mitigate damage. Now you know.


Wow

 I do come from a family of mechanics. My grandfather lives in another state, my uncle lives two hours away, my brother and stepfather were working and my father was out of town. So no, none of them could be there with me and it was my only day off so it was the only day I could go there. If you ready my report right, you would have seen where I said the light blinked for a minute and than it went off by itself. So, if it wasn't consistently on than why would I have stopped driving it? And again, if you knew how to read you would have saw that when the light came on the second time I parked it and didn't touch it again. That's when my father came to check it out. So instead of jumping to conclusions and trying to be a smart a*s, learn how to read and comprehend sentences. Thanks!

“I come from a family of mechanics”

How many of those mechanics checked out the vehicle prior to purchase? Ask them the consequences of continuing to operate a motor vehicle with an illuminated check engine warning light.
