Unbelievable Fraud! Hidden Warning Lights Scam

Buying a car is a big challenge when it comes to a used car! On the other hand, buying a new car is a super challenge when it comes to an expensive investment; high loss once you leave the dealership and put the first mile on it! High interest rate, expensive insurance, and expensive maintenance after the first 30K miles… etc., especially these days!

Today's case is for a lady that bought a car that looks good! Since there is "NO" check engine light or any other warning lights!

The Details: The lady came with a check hybrid system message on the dashboard! We figured out that there was no engine coolant! And the car does not have a check engine light!

We did our diagnosis and found: - Blown head gasket "actually bad engine"- the engine was not shaking "misfiring" since the coolant was super low "they emptied the coolant on purpose! - The car has an aftermarket catalytic converter.

Our question for the customer was: haven't you noticed any warning light? Customer: No, I just bought this car 10 days ago! Everything looks good!

We asked: who did smog the car for you? Customer: the people that sold the car gave it to me ready for registration!

We told her there is a big problem, how the car does not show a check engine light or the other warning light! In fact, there were some codes on the ECU of the engine.

We disassembled the dashboard and found that: the stealers took off "unwelded" the LED warning lights from the cluster board, so the warning lights would never come on! Wow, WT* !!

No conscience, no honesty, no karma belief, and No humanity at all.

How come they spend all of this effort and knowledge to cheat someone that is looking for a car to save money! I have a lot of things to say but I'm really shocked about it!

Our advice is to take it for a specialist for a pre purchase inspection: - All the warning lights are working properly. - The car is ready for smog and emission, even if you have the smog paper with you. - The car is good mechanically and electrically and safe to drive.
