I BOUGHT AN ASTON MARTIN DB9 FROM BAUER JAGUAR/ ASTON MARTIN (1455 S. AUTO MALL DR, SANTA ANA, CA 92705) ON JULY 7 2007. THE CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF A MAJOR INTERSECTION IN LOS ANGELES ON AUGUST 17, 2007 (2,319 MILES). DEALER COMPLETED THE REPAIRS AND RETURNED THE CAR ON AUGUST 20, 2007. THE CAR CONTINUES TO HAVE PROBLEMS AND WAS BROUGHT BACK ON MARCH 31, 2008 FOR MULTIPLE PROBLEMS. AT THIS TIME THE DEALER RECOMMEND A TOTAL ENGINE REPLACEMENT. THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED AND REPAIRS COMPLETED ON APRIL 11, 2008. I HAVE SEND 3 EMAILS TO ASTON MARTIN LAGONDA FACTORY (SCOTT MORGAN, AFTER SALES MANAGER ASTON MARTIN, DR, U BEZ CEO OF ASTON MARTIN) AND THE GENERAL MANGER OF BAUER JAGUAR/ASTON MARTIN (JAMES PEACOCK) ASKING THEM TO BUY BACK THIS CAR AND THEY ARE TAKING THE POSITION THAT ALL THE REPAIRS ARE DONE AND THAT I CAN PICK UP MY CAR. THE CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP AND I REALLY DONїT WANT TO DRIVE IT CAUSE: 1-I FEEL THE CAR IS NOT SAFE AND/OR RELIABLE 2-THE ENGINE REPLACEMENT HAS SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCED THE MARKET VALUE OF THIS CAR. *TR
