You are right to be cautious. Tennessee law does not impose a clear, blanket duty on vehicle owners to replace deployed airbags when the manufacturer no longer makes them. However, there are legal limits on what you can and cannot do in this situation.

Under Tennessee law, it is illegal to... View More

In Tennessee, a rebuilt title is only issued after the vehicle has passed a state inspection to verify that it is safe and that all major parts are properly documented. If the dealership sold you the car without completing this process, they should be responsible for arranging and paying for the... View More

It’s frustrating to hand over money and then discover your car won’t even run. Because you bought the vehicle “as is,” the dealer generally isn’t on the hook for mechanical failures—but that doesn’t give them license to sell you something that’s unsafe or undisclosed.

It’s upsetting to learn the true mileage far exceeds what you were told, and that you’ve paid for repairs you wouldn’t have needed so soon. Under federal and New York law, it’s illegal to misrepresent an odometer reading, and you can pursue a claim for odometer fraud as well as breach of... View More

You’ve done everything right by filing the claim, appealing the decision, and keeping up with regular service—even if it wasn’t through a Hyundai dealership.

You might sue the liable party on the warranty contract for breach in General Sessions. You may need to also sue the repair shop that only replaced with a short block . It will be difficult to win and collect.

Even though you purchased the vehicle “as is,” you may still have legal options if the seller knew about the brake issue and failed to disclose it. In Tennessee, selling a car “as is” generally means the buyer accepts the vehicle in its current condition, and the seller isn’t responsible... View More

West probably bought the note or was even the original lender. Read whatever paperwork you have on the finance. You signed the note, and that has nothing to do with the car. You might be able to file a Notice of Exempt Property if they sue you, or CH 7 Bankruptcy. How do you know US went... View More

Depends on whether you purchased "as is" or with or without a warranty. And maybe whether they knew about the problem and intentionally covered it up.

You can probably find a general practice attorney who will take the case. Of importance to your case will be the representations made by the seller and whether you received a warranty or bought it "as is." One of their defenses will be whether you had a property inspection or not.

You may still be able to redeem the vehicle. But if you did a voluntary repo without first seeking other redress from drivetime, then you would still owe the lien holder any outstanding balance after a commercially reasonable sale. You may still have options but you would need to see a local... View More

A Tennessee Court has no Jurisdiction. Hire a Kentucky attorney to get a violation against his Dealer's License for failing to transfer Title filed with the State. Or possibly get a Warrant issued for the Statute related to the same. The Mechanical stuff is solely a civil issue with... View More
