Willimantic lube and auto center

Review: On or about October of 2012 I paid a down payment for a 2001 jeep wrangler. I took possession of this vehicle in the same month. This vehicle has fallen apart to the point where it is completely unsafe to be on the road. The business owner Gus Loukas told me has knew about the frame having some issues and was going to have it repaired. He had some portions of the frame repaired. But didn't complete all the work. After a later inspection while having some shocks replaced on it it was discovered that the frame still had at least one MAJOR crack in the front end right where the steering box is! That explains the leaks from the front end, well some of them that is! With in 2 weeks of taking ownership of this vehicle I when to apply my brakes and one of the brake lines "blew out" to where I almost rear ended another vehicle, as I mentioned above the steering box is leaking grinding and feels and sounds as if its a death trap! The exhaust from the muffler back has fallen off, the top leaks and is causing rust and rot on the inside of the vehicle with a musty moldy smell. The windshield has cracked because of the door being a little difficult to shut. Since I have taken ownership I have had to replace the shocks, a new power steering pump, a new tensioner pulley , idler pulley and 3 belts (the same belt 3 times do to parts failing) and bought a new set of wheels for it as the original ones were defective ( one had a crack in it and 2 were wobbly or bent). I have been trying to talk to Gus about these issues and I get a constant run around. I finally ran into him at his father business face to face and he offered a "swap" for another one of his vehicles in the lot to which I wouldn't have an increase in payment and or loan length of time. I expressed that, that would be a decent idea, I have been contacting his consistently for the past 2 weeks to set up a meeting with him to gain possession of a certain vehicle I would entertain as a trade. He continuously has one excuse after another to avoid taking

I would like for Gus Loukas to take the jeep wrangler and give me the opportunity to switch it for a vehicle of equal value
