Years ago my father purchased a used car for me. The body was in excellent condition. However lurking in the mechanicals of the car were several nightmares.

The first thing to go wrong was the missing lock for the special spoke hubcaps. Of course I didn’t find this out until I had a flat tire in a parking garage in the city! Ugh! This was just a few days after putting the car on the road.

Within the next month or so the CV joints started to make noise. That’s when I wish we lived in California. California lemon law lawyers are awesome! We tried to hire one here but none would meet with us as we didn’t have enough damages…. yet.

So the CV joints were replaced and it was quiet an expense. A few more months passed and all of a sudden the transmission started to act up. It was an automatic and I was and always have been careful with switching gears. Complete stops before going into park, reverse or drive. Ok so we called the gentleman who sold us the car and he refused to help us. I had only owned the car about 6 months and dad had taken a loan out to buy it. California Lemon Law attorneys would have help I know but still NY lawyers wouldn’t touch our problem.

So we paid to have the transmission fixed. And again in a few months we were right back to having CV joint trouble AND transmission trouble again.

At this time dad gave me money for a down payment on a brand new car and the dealer took my lemon in on trade.
