RAM dealerships refuses to service my vehicle due to low survey score (long post)

[Bdersch]

I'll mention this again---newspaper, TV station(investigative reporters) yelp, facebook, social media. I'd also talk to the AG's office again and talk to a "lead attorney" or a "supervising attorney" and ask about their policy. What you explained is not the way the AG's Office Consumer Affairs Division works in Tx., unless they have changed their policies in the last few years.

I will say i am quite surprised by this... Her first email response to me was that i was eligible for mediation and now its just like well you are SOL cause they didnt respond. i am in indiana so maybe thats it?

I have thought about contacting some local news stations.

Court for sure, I'd bend their ass over and shove the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act right where it belongs.

I am worry about fees and cost though to be honest. I am in the final stages of house buying so money isnt as free as a month ago or i would be more adapt.
can anyone speak to what costs im looking at?

Not saying this is what's happening in your case, but could be a possibility the dealership owner and AG know each other and the AG is just trying to make this "go away".

You're probably better off talking directly with an attorney at this point.

Find a lawyer who will do it for 10% of what you will win. Lots of lawyers will only take civil cases they know they can win.

An Attorney is not going to take it for 10%, the amount of prep and general research and court time would not be recouped by 10%.

Ok, maybe it was lowball, but 30% is pretty normal. My civil case was done for 10%

I wouldn't pursue it....just my opinion.

It could be drug out sooo long, not to include the headaches, hassles, depositions, phone calls etc...You could also end up in a lot of deep debt. Also, you have no idea what the result will yield. You may break even for a bunch of lost time and higher blood pressure.

Like stated earlier, unless you find an attorney with zero fees unless you win, I wouldn't do it.

kind of where i think i am at... almost think my life would be easier to trade it in and run a different brand truck.

fight, you will never regret fighting something like this, but you will regret being the dealerships punching bag. they are lucky it wasn't me, I'd be picketing their ass.

how long did your process take and cost?

 

[Burla]

I hired a lemon law lawyer for failure to fix under warranty, I won 13k, and the lawyer takes 25%.

 

[Burla]

I can't remember if there was early fees, if so they were nominal, court filing fee etc. Soon as they get the paper work they will settle, if they go to court it costs them more then the fix, and they risk getting hammered by the judge.

 

[Bdersch]

hmm. i dont think i am technically covered under lemon law though i bought pre owned

 

[huntergreen]

The first consult is free. Talk to a few attorneys, find one that will take the case, and you feel comfortable with.

I've gotten lost in all the pages of discussion... what exactly are you trying to get done that the dealer is refusing? I think its important to know that before giving you any advice...

Once upon a time out here one family had the rear windows on all of their vehicles setup with big vinyl lettering reading

[Dealership X] SUCKS, ASK ME WHY.

*Name removed to keep things simple.

Know anyone with a vinyl cutter? The only thing I'd change would be have it start out with "In My Experience and Opinion..."

Then you're technically expressing Freedom of Speech and it's only borderline libel/slander?

I'd do a hybrid of what everyones saying, find an attorney, get paid and then dump the truck for a diff brand.

Reminds me of what I saw on the gm-trucks forum yesterday...

Now that's funny.
