I was assured that the pricey 6k fix was all it needed. Paid cash, picked it up and it broke down an hour later (after they had it for over a week) with same exact symptoms I had taken it in for.

I concur with the other two legal eagles. I further note that you can cancel some of this stuff, whether they like it or not, and here is the cite that lists it:

Hard to imagine they needed you to co sign as your friend's credit was not good enough and they will now, once they have you obligated for the loan, let you out? Best move, IF possible, I'd say, is SELLING it if you can...

The best way to find the answer to this is to talk to the folks you bought the tickets from and/or to read the tickets and the fine print.
I just need to know, if I'm in Los Angeles County and the Defendant is in Orange County, can I file in L.A or do I need to travel and file in the local court in Orange County.

When it comes to the law, generally, the answer to many questions is "maybe."
In response to your question, the same is true. You may wish to search the
internet for statutes in California that govern venue. Good luck with it.
A lawyer contacted me today to inform me that Synchrony Bank is suing me for a debt that they sold to a collection agency in 2012. I paid the debt with the agency, have paperwork to back everything up, yet Synchrony is claiming I still owe them the money. Their records show my account was deleted... View More

You have three very good responses. I'd note, it is HIGHLY unusual for an atty to just call you, instead, they will normally just sue you. I think you could have a nice unfair debt collection practices (FDCPA) case IF the facts as stated are true, which I doubt....

You asked if customer can sue, he can.
You then went on to essentially argue your case.
No one can tell you if you will win or not.
You should, since you are in a highly regulated business,
consult with your business attorney right away, to make
sure if you... View More
I bought a brand new Tacoma in October of 2021. I expected to pay over MSRP due to the chip shortages and was okay with that. They did not have any at the dealership, so when I got there, the dealer looked online and found 3 available colors. I chose the one I liked and he printed out the ad with... View More

IF they markup the truck, they have to add a new window sticker clearly noting "dealer markup" to get away with it.
That said, it is likely EASY for them to 'create' one even now, many months later, so, tough uphill battle. As for 'other' things added, they MUST itemize. See your contract...

If there is a warranty the lemon law should cover it.

Ya, that sounds like a big no no. I'd ask, once more, in writing. Give the atty a week to respond. Do NOT threaten any complaint but go straight to the bar if the week goes by without response...
