Despite multiple fixes—including a full engine swap—the car kept breaking down with overheating, oil leaks, stalling, and battery issues. The buyer, who discovered undisclosed prior repairs, was repeatedly told the problems were normal wear and tear. Even after a settlement involving a new engine and reimbursements, the car continued failing. The court sided with the buyer, rejecting the dealership’s excuses and ruling the vehicle was unfixable, ordering a full refund plus additional costs. A stark reminder: dealerships must honor warranties and stand behind their cars. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
