Normally one needs considerably more information before being able to tell you anything. But assuming you are referring to a criminal prosecution, who is it you think you can successfully sue?

It sounds like you may have enough evidence for a potential lawsuit. Of course, an attorney would need to verify the content of the contract and the diagnostic tests. This is a malpractice case and a breach of contract case. It is a breach of contract because they are not honoring the warranty... View More

The statute of frauds is used to basically invalidate contracts, which is not what you are trying to do.
You may have a breach of contract if you can show the contract was for a certain length and thus it was no longer at will, or potentially a promissory estoppel claim due to quitting your... View More
