I recently had a failure/leak with my radiator. I have never had an accident with my vehicle. Yet, this is the second mechanic to tell me my car was in some kind of an accident. My mazda was sold to me as brand new by the dealership. How and where do I search to determine if my vehicle had in fact been previously owned and in an accident? If records of such have been destroyed is there another way to go about finding out information on what I believe to be a willful misrepresentation? Thank you, [[redacted]]. *Ak parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(B)(6).
