Power Train problem #1

I got a report from carfax and found out that the car I bought two years ago had over 37,000 more miles on it . The dealer sold me this car knowing that the odometer had been rolled back. Because it has been two years ago,do I still have any rights?.

Clutch problem #2

Clutch failed due to improper installation of the pushrod during manufacturing, causing pressure on the plate. Yh.

Axle Assembly problem #3

Was driving vehicle from utah to boston; road & weather was good & clear; axle broke & left rear wheel separated from vehicle; rolled over twice onto median, also no deployment of driver's/passenger's air bags, resulting in injuries.
