She says she was sold an unsafe car. Now, she’s warning others

Kortney Force says she was offered an unsafe 2013 Mazda CX-5 in November 2022 from a used-car dealership in Ottawa. She acquired the car totally inspected by one other mechanic, who discovered an inventory of points starting from a ‘rotting and leaking’ exhaust pipe, a unfastened ball joint to a ‘torn’ bushing.
