Front Suspension Wheel Bearing problems of the 2002 Chrysler Town & Country

I purchased the car in August of 2013 took car to auto repair for rear wheel bearing in the process of getting it fixed the mechanic noticed that the shocks were totaly rotted I informed fran from b7b automotive that the shocks were totaly rotted and the car was not safe to drive as stated by my mechanic fran's response to us was well you had the car for 11 months and besides you live down the shore which will rot them out my response to him was this is something that was supposed to be check before it was taken off the lot this is a safety hazzard. I have the shocks and took pictures in case we have to consult an attorney I think something should be done about this company who sells cars that are not safe.
