Q: I bought a car from a dealership that has had multiple problems. The dealership owner has been making sexual advances
Continuos calls and text. After making it very clear that I wasn't or wouldn't do what he wanted he refused to fix my car after he was aware and agreed to fix. His availabity was 8 pm and his shop that is closed in an Industrial area. I felt uneasy and fearful going there that late and had had to go 3 times in the first week. The car is now broke down in my driveway with repair cost valued more than the vehicle is worth. He is now demanding $1500 for the car and threatening me with repossession and told me I was in big trouble with dmv. I have the calls and text from all correspondence in addition to a witness at the time of purchasing the vehicle. Could I be in trouble? Am I liable for paying on a car that was obviously a lemon? I feel like he has cornered me and told me I could work off my debt with sexual favors. Is there something that I can do so this doesn't happen to someone else. HELP!
A: Call the police/district attorney, a lemon law attorney and an Unruh Act/Sexual Harassment attorney.
