Re: When Should You Voluntarily Surrender a Vehicle
The other mechanics said it was the motor mounts or IAC but heres the kicker. I did some inspecting on my own. They said they replaced the parts but the motor mount rubber inserts looked dry rotted and the IAC had a sharpie marker on it which tells me Either the parts was never replaced or they are used parts. I've been thinking about filing bankruptcy and giving the car because the latest update with this nightmare. The sunroof brackets had broke and the transmission is slipping
Re: When Should You Voluntarily Surrender a Vehicle
When you buy a used car you take a big risk. There are lemon laws but there are time limits and in some states they do not always protect a used car buyer. You could file an action against the dealer who sold you the car but it won't be cheap or easy. The question will be raised, what are your responcablities, did you read the carfax, did you have the car inspected before you made the purchase. That old saying, let the buyer beware will be thrown in your face. Depending on your state will determine how the courts will treat you. You can be 100% correct and show evey step and still loose. If you didnt read the carfax and the information was there the court will say you were neglegent. It is not an easy fight to win. If you surrender the car you may be sued but the state laws may make it very hard to enforce the judgement. Some states cannot garnish wages so that makes it near impossibe to enforce. Sit down with a attorney and plan your actions carfully. You already made one choice to quickly. Don't make the same error twice.
