2007 Honda Pilot Body & Structure Problems

Lamont sold me a lemon vehicle. Lamont managed to get a false inspection form and provided it to me and stated the vehicle has passed inspection. Once vehicle was taken to multiple mechanic shops to find out if its even able to be fixed and as 3 mechanics stated I was sold a lemon car and they are "Unable to fix" the problem. Lamont was contacted on multiple times through calls/text msgs, and voice mails and as of today none of my calls were answered. Lamont then blocked my number and continued to avoid me and the car situation he put me through. I've been trying to reach him every day since the last time he gave me the vehicles documents. I am filing this report to the best of my knowledge with the information he gave me for the vehicle. I would love to get a refund back of all my money spent for this vehicle that was sold to me as a lemon.

Rear Subframe rust because of bad quality metal is leading me to call the junk yard, although everything is working fine in the car, still I have to get rid of it because is not safe to drive.

MANUFACTURER'S DESIGN OVERSIGHT CREATED A POTENTIALLY FATAL COLLISION. MANUFACTURER'S DESIGN INCLUDES TRAVEL OF THE BRAKE PEDAL TO POSITIONS LOWER THAN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THIS DESIGN OVERSIGHT ALLOWS THE DRIVER'S FOOT TO TRAVEL LOWER THAN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHILE BRAKING. THIS RESULTS IN THE DRIVER UNKNOWINGLY PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES. I WAS A VICTIM OF THIS DESIGN OVERSIGHT BUT FORTUNATELY I RESPONDED QUICKLY ENOUGH TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. IT COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL TO THE PEDESTRIAN I WAS AVOIDING. *TR
