WHY NOT SUE UNDER BOTH NAMES.

YOU CAN ALWAYS SUE ANYONE FOR ANYTHING......THE ISSUE IS MORE, WILL YOU WIN AND CAN YOU AFFORD A LAWYER.

I think a lot of lemon law attorneys would consider taking this case.

To me, your life is much simpler if you SELL the vehicle now, since it is likely worth

Either way, I hope it works out for you.
