A Wichita car dealer has been fined almost 400-thousand-dollars and banned from selling vehicles in Kansas.
Carnation LLC and its owner, Kayode Ajibolade, was accused of violating the Kansas Consumer Protection Act by failing to disclose that a car had blown airbags before selling it to a consumer.
The complaint was investigated by the Sedgwick County District Attorney’s Office’s Consumer Protection Division. The investigation found 12 more cars sold by Ajibolade and Carnation in the first quarter of 2023 had blown airbags. Ajibolade and Carnation failed to disclose the blown airbags when selling the cars to consumers from the car lot at 1301 E. Lincoln.
A judge entered a default judgement of $394,197 in the case, and in addition, the court revoked Ajibolade’s license to do business and permanently prohibited him from selling
cars in the State of Kansas.
