What should you do when a warranty is not honored?
What should I do if my car dealership is refusing to honor my warranty? I don’t know if I need to take legal action or if there’s something else that I can do, but I’m so frustrated right now.
You’ll likely have grounds to sue for breach of contract. In most states, you’ll take this lawsuit to a small claims court and, hopefully, come out the other side with an honored warranty.
However, it’s possible that there’s something in your contract that allows your dealer to avoid paying for repairs. If this is the case, your lawyer should be able to find that part of your contract and point it out to you.
