Legal Rights on Used Car Purchase

[Shawn Burns]

I did my second drain and fill during my last towing pre-season maintenance marathon. I also saw some nasty gunk at the top of the radiator cap. I would bet that it is just some nasty radiator corrosion/dirt/gunk that made it's way to the top of the cooling system, like mine.

Is that 'green' coolant the long-life stuff? You just want to change it a little more often than the orange Mopar coolant. But I've been running green coolant in a certain Jeep with aluminum engine parts (against warnings) ...for at least 16 years and 230k mi, w/o any problems whatsoever.

You have rights here in Texas, I just bought 18 Megacab, as is, transmission started making noises, after a few days, dropped off to my favorite repair shop. They called me back and told me it was catastrophic failure. I called the dealer, they told me to bring it back and they would check it out.

Sounds like you found a good dealer. I'd stick with them. From the link Jonny Paycheck provided in post #23 they might not have been required to do that.
