Where do I get help?

I purchased a 2007 Impala on July 3rd in Chicago, IL ( I drove 400 miles round trip for this car) I noticed dirt in the front bumper and they just tried to avoid the subject as if it was nothing, until I was ready to sign papers and they took me out to show me that in a small area it had been repaired and painted and made me sign a paper stating I new it had damage. I asked for a repair order to show the full extent of damages but was assured it was minor. I also found a small ding on the rear and they told me to have it repaired and they would pay the bill. I continued to pester them for the repair bill and was continually told it was just minor bumper damage and maybe the grille. But I suspected much more because of lots of dirt in the paint and a couple of burn throughs in the clear coat "flat spots" Then I found a rip in the leather and they said bring the car back and take yours I've spent too much money on that car already....I said no, find me another one, but of course they couldn't. I get home from vacation Thursday and notice a huge 4x2 paint sag in the lower right frt door. They tell me it is a warranty issue, GM says no. They forgot I work in a body shop, until I told them what I thought had happened to the car, I couldn't get the repair order. So today I got the repair order....almost $6,000 in damage. plus the car was returned to the dealership after repairs were made on June 1 (they don't have a bodyshop), I've called GM twice and they said the accident has not been reported. Isn't that illegal? Now I have U-bracket on the 5.0 repaired radiator support that is missing bolts, a wrong bolt in the radiator support, gouges in the air cleaner assy and the red light is on in the On Star and they say it is a battery issue. I bought this car with 1501 miles and was told the salesmen had been driving it, which is not unusual. Should I lose money if I give it back, what about the rebates, especially the one from my insurance company. Not only that, I gave up a 4.49% loan when I rolled it over with my new loan at 5.25%. My bank say I can't go back, I don't feel I should lose anything. What about transferring license back? Who can I contact to help me? Isn't this consumer fraud for failure to fully disclose?
Here is a small list of replaced items, bumper, absorber, both headlights, hood, radiator, condenser, cooling fan assy, both fan blades, repair to both fenders and left door, radiator support, blend the right door. Also they replaced 2 pints of transmission fluid, but no hoses were replaced or transmission cooler or lines? Plus there was frame damage and they didn't do an alignment because the steering wheel is off, but if you straighten it up you run off the right side of the road.
