Fairfax Kia

I purchased a 2012 hyundai sonata on 10/2/2015 from Fairfax Kia. At the time of my purchase, i was advised that the vehicle was free of any structural damage and of an major defects.

I requested a Carfax, which was promised to me, but never delivered. Within days of my purchase, I noticed leaking water around my sunroof, with the water draining heavily into both floor boards. Upon bringing it to the dealership, I was advised that they would remedy the problem, upon which they replaced my windshield which is what they stated was responsible for the water leak due to a crack. The vehicle was taken to M and M collision inwhich the dealership was made aware of the damage to the car.

This, however, did not stop my leaking problem, which ultimately affected the electronics in the vehicle. When I returned to the service department, I was advised that the subsequent repair would cost in excess of $5,000.00, more than the vehicle is worth. Furthermore, upon notification from my insurance adjuster, I was notified that the vehicle had been involved in a rollover, prior to my purchase. I have reason to believe that the dealership was aware of this and I am frustrated that this was not disclosed to me.

I am cognizant of the fact that used vehicles are purchased "as is", and I am also aware that this purchase falls outside the statue of limitations for Virginia's lemon law, but I sincerely feel I was wronged in this situation. At the very least, I believe that Fairfax Kia acted in bad faith when they sold this vehicle to me. At the very worst, I believe this to be a case of constructive fraud. I dont typically like to post these types of complaints in a public forum, but I dont want anyone else to go through what I had to go through.

I am in the process of filling a compliant with the better business bureau and want to share my experience with others. They have lost a customer in me.
