When I purchased the car no warning lights or problems were wrong with it it drove fine. The same day I got it home which is an hour away, the check engine light came on so i called them back. I took car back to shop and told them the code said it was the converter they said that was not right and it was just bad gas put in it so they reset engine light. As soon as i got back home the engine light came back on and then all the power locks on the doors stopped working. I took it to meinieke in greenville in which they said my converter went bad and that is why the engine light was on. Then they said it must have been in water because it was severe rust underneath the hood. and it effected electrical system. However, none of this information was on the car fax report. no flood damage, no repairs etc. Also none of this was occurring
