First thing, the dealer by law has to make known any problems like that they know of before the sale. As a Dodge dealership, they are required to do a safety inspection on all trade ins. It is obvious that it was wrecked on a test drive since it only had 30 miles on it. They probably reset the codes to sell it then while you had it they recoded. I advise you also contact Daimler Chrysler and make them aware of the situation. They do not like the bad press, even though they are not responsible, they will come down on the dealership very hard, maybe even pull the franchise. Sounds like you have a very strong case. I understand you are working with a couple agencies, but I would contact an attorney also. Get a free consult with one that deals with fraud, many will work on a contingencey basis. They won't take the case unless they think they can win some money, then they get a % of the suit. You should not only be able to get a total refund, but also all interest paid, finance fees, etc. Good luck.
