Fraudulently sold the car knowing the problem and not disclosing it to me. Started after one month after purchase and key was stuck in ignition. Seems to be a common and very highly complained about problem. I traded a perfectly working not one thing wrong car for this one that the dealer made a huge profit on and fraudulently lied about any problems with this.
