I purchased this vehicle from 4 aces automotive in lithonia. They bought the car at an auction on May 27th 2019 with 230,000 miles on it and then miraculously on May 30th 2019 the car pass emissions with only 98000 miles on it. They are tampering with the odometers and selling cars by sneaking in an odometer discrepancy form while you are signing the paperwork without mentioning it or disclosing any information regarding the mileage being wrong. They told me I could call the president the United States for all they care because they make more money suing people than they do selling cars. They stated that their contracts are bulletproof and therefore I will not win a case against them. I am reporting them for fraud this is a felony in all states you cannot tamper with odometers. They are stating that I will not get a refund for the half deposit I put down even though they lied about the odometer, I have already spoken with my bank and the police and they stated that this is illegal and that I need to report him to every Agency I can to try and prevent other people from having to go through what I'm going through right now. I have included the carfax that shows the mileage on the 27th of may being 230,000 miles and then after they purchased the vehicle it shows that the emissions was done on May 30th and the car only had 98000 miles on it.

We are concerned about a safety issue with a cracked dashboard and deployment of the takata airbags. On January 8, 2019, two, long, wide cracks appeared in the passenger dashboard from the windshield vent toward the glove compartment. They were about 6' long. Beneath the cracks one could see a light tan, soft looking item. The next day a similar crack appeared on the driver dash. The vehicle was parked in the garage like it has been every day and night. It has about 72,000 miles; we are the 2nd owner and purchased it in 2009 with about 7,000 miles. Because the vehicle is listed as part of the takata airbag recall, we are concerned about the cracks and what may have caused them. Could it be a partial inflation? and will there be flying shards of plastic dash during an inflation of the bags. The car is listed in the NHTSA recall 16V381; manufacture recall number 2049151. The remedy is not yet available. On or about December 29,2016, GM offered to cover the estimated $1,082.78 repair of a cracked dashboard in a 2011 GMC Yukon denali in tate county, Mississippi. Landers Buick GMC is the point dealership for mid-South GM cracked dashboard complaints.

The dashboard has cracked and researching the problem, I found that this is a common problem with GM vehicles my year model and after. The vehicle is garage kept and is not exposed to direct sunlight or extreme cold temperatures.

Takata recall the message 'low oil pressure, stop engine' comes on when ever I am at a standstill too long. The dealership has said to start with a new oil pump and go from there, but I could need a new engine. Based on a forum I frequent about Escalades, it seems Escalade models 2007-2011 are having this same issue. If GM is aware that this is an ongoing issue with these specific year models, maybe they need to do a recall.
