Could you possibly obtain previous owner info through your dmv by tracking the vin? Freedom of information act maybe?
you should be able to have the DMV to help you out. at least they would be able to confirm or deny it and with a lawyer there is a much higher chance you could get the documents released to vs yourself. do you have all of the documents from the times you have taken the car back to the dealership? if so this will be helpful to show its an ongoing issue. the pics could help even without a timestamp to show as a time log IF you can see work done to the car. its not solid proof without a timestamp on the photo's but its better than nothing! as for the dealership "banning" you is a crock of ****. i would call up the general manager and file a complaint with him. i would also take your lawyer to the dealership and make them provide all of the documents to you. photo's, written reports, ect. also since they have now voided your contract with them for repairs you can easily get your money back from them. also i would contact the better business bureau and get an investigation spinning up. bring as much heat to those fools as possibleCould you possibly obtain previous owner info through your dmv by tracking the vin?

They usually wont give out the previous owners information, that interferes with the privacy laws.Could you possibly obtain previous owner info through your dmv by tracking the vin? Freedom of information act maybe?
8 times out of 10 law suits are settled in mediation or out of court. I would also file a complaint with the Attorney General's office for your state. I did that against a insurance company when a girl hit me and her insurance company didn't want to pay for it. As soon as they know that the AG has started looking into the case they'll straighten their act up.you should be able to have the DMV to help you out. at least they would be able to confirm or deny it and with a lawyer there is a much higher chance you could get the documents released to vs yourself. do you have all of the documents from the times you have taken the car back to the dealership? if so this will be helpful to show its an ongoing issue. the pics could help even without a timestamp to show as a time log IF you can see work done to the car. its not solid proof without a timestamp on the photo's but its better than nothing! as for the dealership "banning" you is a crock of ****. i would call up the general manager and file a complaint with him. i would also take your lawyer to the dealership and make them provide all of the documents to you. photo's, written reports, ect. also since they have now voided your contract with them for repairs you can easily get your money back from them. also i would contact the better business bureau and get an investigation spinning up. bring as much heat to those fools as possible. never let them win!!! also get quotes for the damage and i would file a law suit for that cost + an extra 1,000 or so for the hassle and stress they have caused. if the dealership sent your car off to some other shop but you turning it over to the dealership they are still responsible for it. sure, you yelled at them. big whoop, they ****** your 30,000 dollar car up. if they want to handle their job like this they should be fired. ***NOTE TO ALL***: when taking cars in to dealerships for body work take a polaroid camera with you (30 bucks, the kind that spits the photo's out). time stamp them on the back and have you and a manager sign them for your records. also in the paper work write down every mark and request the dealership/shop to do a walk over also and make all notes and then you sign it in agreement. this way when something else turns up and its not noted now they have no grounds one bit. if a shop is not willing to do this go elsewhere!good luck man on the car, dont quit and once a lawyer comes to the shop to tell them they are going to face a lawsuit i bet they will become more willing to fix the issue CORRECTLY!
I wonder if the local news would help your case. FOX 5 I-Team | myfoxatlanta.comUpdate!!
So, slowly, I've been trying to get things done about the car and a couple days ago, I got a return call from Kia corporate. When I told them about the scratches on my car, the lady said, "Well that might be possible with a pre-owned car, and we can't do anything unless it is a manufacturing defect."
Now when I bought the car, the dealer told me NEW car. I asked where the 965 miles came from and they told me "test drives." When I told the lady that I bought the car new, she said that their (Kia's) records show that the car was purchased previously and that it might have been a deal that fell through before a title was issued.
I'm no lawyer but shouldn't that be something the dealer should have mentioned even once out of the many times I asked? And they also don't report anything to Carfax.
I feel like I have a pretty good case against them and is supported by multiple other complaints filed to the BBB by other people who purchased or dealt with cobb county kia.
