“I was sold a Volvo 1994 940 series from east lake auto in issaquah, wa. A check engine light was displayed and the company promised to fix whatever it was indicating. I left it at their shop for inspection, and was told that there was no problem related to the light, and that it was a faulty light. I drove the car for three years with the check engine light always on. I commuted to a job that required I be in the car for over three hours on most days. I made a long trip and after that my sons and I have had many neurological problems. The company was closed down about six months ago. …”
