The state of Florida has a “Lemon Law” which may apply in your situation. Essentially, you will deal directly with the car’s manufacture to have your car fixed or get your money back. You can find out more information on the process by going to the website of the Florida Office of the... View More
Now the car won`t start most of the time and if it does if we go anywhere we can`t turn it off because it might not start again. And also the dealer still has not transferred the registration as of yet. My wife are both on social security and live pay check to pay check and are both under a doctors... View More

No way to say for sure here online. I suggest that you consult with an attorney in person on the issue, but suggest that since you purchased the car "as is" then you likely have not recourse against the dealer as he did not make any promises regarding the car.
Good Luck.
Bought a car 8 months ago from drivetime. Also purvhased the warranty they offered. 09 aspen. A few weeks ago the engine is having trouble. Apparently failed compression test. So the engine had to be replaced as well as the radiator. Averex the warranty covered it besides 400 that i had to pay. 3... View More

My guess is that your rights are governed by the warranty. You may also have a claim against the company that replaced the engine. The engine may have been replaced with a used engine that failed or there may have been negligence in the repair process.
Friend’s GMC truck had repair work done for cylinders under warranty in 2010. Truck began smoking again the next week. Repair shop went out of business within the month after repair. Warranty expired in 2011. Friend is questioning if he can sue GMC to get cylinders fixed because work was not... View More

Have an attorney review the documents for you but most likely the statute of limitations prevents you from taking action now. It has been over five years sine the repairs were made.

They replaced two pieces and now the 3rd piece of the set doing the same. The 2 replaced pieces are also defective and had tags on the protective plastic... View More
The previous owner “who builds houses” stated all the wiring in the house was copper and the home inspector said it was copper.
This week I had a new light put in the kitchen and it had aluminum wiring.
What legal recourse do I have toward the previous owner?
answered on Jul 5, 2016
While you may have had an action for breach of warranty, you didn't indicate how long ago you bought the house. Thus you may have a statute of limitations problem.
I drive it for to month do I have a case.
answered on Jul 25, 2015
Did you mean two months, not to months? Have you spoken with the mechanic shop about this? Was there a contract that you signed and have you read the contract? It seems to me based upon the very limited facts that you provided, that you might have a suit against them for breach of an implied... View More

I would need to read all relevant documents. Go see an attorney.

Is this a Lemon Law Case?
The roof is leaking. Now the car smells bad. The mirror has water inside. They scratched the paint. They also scratched the windshield tints.

You have to read the contract and probably must submit to arbitration if the down time qualifies.

De novo is a latin phrase meaning start over. There is no de novo type of complaint. The action would be called recission. That is not what you need. I hope the issues have been resolved to your liking by now.
Do I have to pay? I am not working. Can they touch my husbands check?
answered on Jul 26, 2012
You borrowed money from the bank, not the dealership. But they should work with you and replace the vehicle. Did husband sign? Do they have a judgment? They can only touch a check if they have a judgment against your husband.

This was something that you might have been able to do something about, perhaps sue for fraudulent inducement. I am sorry that this question was not answered sooner for you. I hope the problem has been resolved by now. Sometimes the best thing to do is talk to the dealer instead of filing suit, or... View More
