Fuel leak and major water corrosion to undercarriage of car. Tried to get wheel barrings done and was told it would have to be welded off and on. I am still paying on this car and it is unsafe. They priced this car at 10000 with finance charge when I was told the car was 6500 I put 1500 down plus 746 make up downpayment. I have still been paying on it and I do not believe I should be because it cant be worth that much if this was a flood car. The car make a loud grinding noise which is the wheel barring but cannot be easily fixed. And will cost me alot of money while im still paying
