2 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 06/15/2019

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.

Service stabilitrak that proceed into reduced engine power. Normally while steering the problem will drop up. I have gone twice into gm/Cadillac dealers and they incapable of fixing it.

4 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 08/16/2017

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.
