I bought a '99 Dodge Ram from Drivetime in phoenix, AZ back in may of 2005, 3 days after my 3 month warranty ran out my transmission had to be rebuilt. The cruise control messes up, the speedometer works when it wants to, and my Catalytic converter just recently went bad.

I went in to buy a new truck and trade my drivetime truck in, the dealership ran a carfax report and it came back with a branded title in california (Lemon Law/Manufacterer Buyback). I recieved an Experian AutoCheck report when I bought it, but they need a copy of the branded title for the buyback. So I contacted california DMV to get a copy, the told me the vehicle was still titled to Diamler Chrysler, and I couldnt get a copy. The vehicle is titled to me with a lien in Arizona.

Arizona does not have the same, Lemon Law/manu. buyback, brand for their titles, so what dealerships do is buy Lemons in california transfer them to arizona and have a clean title.

Does anyone know if this is even legal, or is there anyone else with the same complaint, and does anyone know how I can get a copy of the branded california titled to Diamler chrysler?

This is fairly common in the business.

Dealers will launder titles through Utah because the "salvage" will disappear from the title. A more common way is to just be grease the DMV clerk that processes the titles. Illegal, yes. easy to catch, no. They can say they "forgot" to stamp the title. I'd advise you to contact the feds because you're talking inter-state transactions. I don't know how interested they'll be, but you should at least try.
