The car is a 2009
Tough break! Buying a used car is always a big risk. Unfortunately, the Lemon Law only covers new or slightly used cars.
In order to hold the dealer accountable, you would need to prove that they knew about a material defect and that had you known about said defect, you would not have... Read more »
Repurchase/replacement of lemon vehicle.
Would I be better off waiting to file for lemon replacement until AFTER the manufacturer declares BK and is out of it, or would a person be better off filing BEFORE the BK is announced, and try to race the manufacturer's potential BK?
I ask... Read more »
Generally no. But it can be case specific so you should check with the trustee.
Vehicle on day one broke down ended up needing two batteries for 750 dollars, then immediately needed 3k repairs which didn’t resolve some issues. Bottom of car completely rusted and local mechanic said it has sustained water damage. Dealer sent me check for 1500.00 which is no where near... Read more »
Check your contract. If you purchased the car "as is" and no affirmative misrepresentations about the car were made, you are likely out of luck. If the dealer made affirmative misrepresentations about the quality of the car, you may have a cause of action under Ohio's Consumer Sales Practices Act... Read more »
Child Custody question:
I served my ex boyfriend with a petition to establish paternity and child support on 3/1/20 in Florida. He just filed his answer on 4/3/20 and in his answer he has a CT address listed as his current address, and he has his income listed at $0. He was working when he... Read more »
Yes, of course he can leave the state if he wants to. Presumably you are not asking if he can take the child; he can't without court permission. This will have to be resolved, hopefully between the two of you in the shared custody plan, or, if not, by the judge.
I traded in a fully paid off car went to carmax to trade it for a cheaper vehicle on insurance. I found a cheaper car and even recieve a check back because I still had positive equity balance. Few months, I thought my car was stolen as It was repossessed! I paid the 1300 to get it out. While trying... Read more »
Sorry for your issues. You will want to get in touch with a consumer protection attorney immediately for a full evaluation of your circumstances and options going forward.
And also included in a bankruptcy filing but the two involved in selling the car to me or trying to get me to surrender the car to them or else I am in trouble with the law
If you have title, it is someone else’s problem.
Transmission went out, shop picked it up and towed it to their location. Tore it down and diagnosed it. The contract says it’s $599 for tow and tear down. He told us $1480 to repair it. We said okay. He then jacked the price up to $2480 saying “there was more problems”. Fast forward a year... Read more »
This is a civil matter. Theft requires the state to prove intent at the time the property initially changed hands.
Do you think after Zelman v. Simmons-Harris that Congress could make a general school voucher program that applied to all children in distressed school districts in the United States?
How would a program like this hold against Constitutional Scrutiny?
I have not read that decision, but you await a response for four weeks. Your question might be better suited for discussion with a constitutional law scholar familiar with the decision than for the brief format of this question and answer board. Good luck

The mileage reported at 101989. How is it 11 days later the miles are reported to dmv at 101802? Seems fishy to me.
Please help seems like possible rolled back mileage.
This is not a legal question; nor is it evidence of odometer tampering. It is a mistake.
Buyer came and purchased a puppy from me with a check. after a Day he informed me that the puppy was ill with kennel cough and stopped payment on the check. the buyer has not provided any information from a vet showing that the puppy is ill and refuses to bring the puppy back for a refund or to...

On the assumption that the puppy is valued at less than $10,000 … first, schedule an initial free consultation with an attorney by video call or telephone call … then, you will want to file a small claims court action as soon as possible.

Too complicated to answer in the space provided.
Recently bought a car for 3500. The previous owner had the transmission rebuilt (this was disclosed to me) for 3500 and the warranty for it was 30 days which the shop told me would transfer after sale. I purchased the car and before I even got home the same problem happened. The shop worked on it... Read more »
IF they tried and failed to fix under warranty, you have a warranty law claim. Warranty law is lemon law. So, you have a lemon law claim. Contact a lemon law attorney for more insight.
If you have a warrant in the state of Texas for a class c missdamenor Theft under 100$ can you sit your time out in the state of Kentucky if u don't live in Texas no more
Not unless you have a lawyer arrange that for you down in Texas so it runs concurrent with Kentucky time.
We sold a French bulldog puppy exactly about 1 year ago and now the buyers want their money back or a new puppy because they say the dog throws up. We are not "breeders" and won't be having any other litters. This is the first time we have heard from the buyers. Their vet told them they can do... Read more »
Unless you sold the dog with some sort of warranty or made material misrepresentations when making the sale, I know of no grounds for them to be able to demand their money back or to otherwise rescind the transaction. A year later? Hard to figure what the buyer is thinking. No one should take... Read more »
It doesn't. GM is still required to fix your vehicle under warranty with a reasonable number of repair attempts (typically four times, but it is not set by law) or a reasonable amount of time (30 days, but again, there is no absolute, it can be more or less).
Feel free to email... Read more »
You may have a case against Kia under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, commonly known as the California Lemon Law. If you do have a lemon, you are entitled to receive all sums you have paid or owe on your car, minus a mileage offset.

2 days after taking vehicle home, found out it needed a transmission. My salesman literally blocked me and my family from contacting him. So i filed a complaint with the Department of Motor Vehicles. 30 days later, expired tag, car doesn't move
You didn't ask a question, but I suppose you are asking, "Can I take legal action against the dealer?" In your situation, you can't get a quick answer on-line. You must sit down with an attorney who will review all your documents related to the transaction and discuss the details of the... Read more »

You would need to hire an expert to determine everything g that is wrong with the car and then see if those repairs are covered by your contract to determine where you have a breach or not.
My car year/make/model is directly related to at least 2 class action lawsuits, (I did not partake in)

'Sorry that your question was not picked up in four weeks. At this point, you could contact a Texas lemon law attorney and go through your folder in detail with them, bringing to their attention your information involving the class actions. Good luck

Is it fraud if an owner of a company advertises merchandise at a certain percentage off, but then tells the sales team not to let customers know of these sales?
It's possible. It depends on the state of mind with which it's done.
