What an awful situation that the person you bought your SUV from did not disclose that it was previously wrecked. When a vehicle is wrecked you can expect subsequent failures of all types to increase as a result of the impact of collision. This includes sensitive equipment such as electronics, and tight tolerance mechanisms.
