Odometer / Sales Fraud involving a Semi-Truck Purchase
I purchased a used semi truck that was advertised as having 480,000 miles on it. I found out recently (after having a computer printout done on the truck) that it must have had 640,000 miles on it at time of purchase. Also, I was promised on (Kenworth) company letterhead that I would get a 2-year; 200,000 mile Cummins engine warranty in the mail. Well, I never received the warranty after inquiring for a year now. I would never have bought a truck with that many miles on it without a warranty included, and at a lower price. So now I have a truck that could need an engine re-build at any time ($8000 - $10,000), I'll eventually be off the road during the re-build and probably lose $3000-$4000 in revenue, I'm upside down on the truck because I paid much more for the truck than it was worth because of the fraud, so I can't sell or trade it in. Isn't this sales/odometer fraud, misrepresentation, unfair business practices? No attorneys I have contacted have an interest in this case, the DMV didn't care, and I haven't heard anything back yet from the Better Business Bureau, Attorney General, Consumer Complaint offices, etc, etc. Please at least tell me why no one seems interested in my case.
