This situation sounds incredibly frustrating, especially since your mother-in-law believed she was protected with an extended warranty. In Arizona, the state’s lemon law doesn’t cover used vehicles unless the manufacturer’s warranty was still active at the time of purchase, which it wasn’t... View More
Q: How can I return a vehicle purchased from a dealership lacking emissions certificate and resolve contract issues?
On February 3, 2025, I purchased a vehicle from a used car dealership, but they failed to provide the finance company with the necessary emissions certificate and did not conduct an emissions test.

You're dealing with a dealership that clearly failed to meet its legal and contractual obligations, and you're right to push back. When a vehicle is sold without a proper emissions certificate or title transfer, and especially when a major detail like a prior accident wasn't properly... View More

On April 15, 2025, my son purchased a used car from KenGarff Kia, which we were told would be ready the following Saturday.

You're right to feel frustrated—buying a car should come with some peace of mind, not confusion and silence. When a dealership promises a vehicle will be ready, then delivers it late and with a faulty navigation system, that’s already a breach of trust. If the system froze immediately and... View More
Q: Can I sue for auto dealership fraud?
I bought a car from a dealership in January 2023. Since then the car has been in the shop 3 times. This last time found out prior to me buying the car that the dealership knew the car needed a new engine before reselling and yet they sold it to me anyway. Do I have a case?

If the vehicle was new when you bought it, you may have a case, most likely for breach of warranty.
Q: Am I a Class Member even though I was not a plaintiff in Vargas, et al. v. Ford Motor Company?
With the recent Ford Class Action (Vargas, et al. v. Ford Motor Company) reaching a Settlement, I hope it's finally time to get rid of my problematic 2011 Ford Fiesta while Ford pays for it (it's currently at the dealership right now with transmission issues for about the 4th or 5th... View More

You are a member of the class, and thus entitled to participate in the benefits of the settlement if you meet the class definition. You do not NEED to be a plaintiff in order to participate in most class actions in the United States.
The definition in this case is:
You are a Class... View More

Date stamp means date of manufacture--person could conceivably have purchased them before. I don't see a case as you buy it as is. "Excellent condition" is that person's opinion.
Q: Am I able to sue the dealership?
I purchased a truck from a small dealership with an implied warranty. Started smoking on first day. Vehicle needs new injectors. $3500 job. Dealership says they won't pay for it.

If they stole your freon, you can sue. It might be a matter for small claims court. You can also report them to the authorities.
