Used Car Legal Recourse

Full Conversation

None
I see. Tennessee's Lemon Law might not apply in your case as it usually covers new vehicles. However, you could check:
- If the dealer violated the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act
- If the dealer falsely represented the car's condition
If so, you might be able to seek legal recourse.
They told me that nothing was wrong with the car and what is the consumer protection act
The Tennessee Consumer Protection Act is a state law that:
- Prohibits deceptive and unfair business practices.
- Applies to the sale, lease, or distribution of goods or services.
- Allows consumers to sue for damages if they are misled or deceived.
They stole me a car and told me that nothing was wrong with it and within 6 months it's had serpentine belt break thermostat issues. Now it has a leak by the radiator. Probably a hose, And it's having a turbo valve solenoid acting up. I have not taken it to repairs.
I understand your frustration. If you believe the dealer misrepresented the car's condition, you may have a case under the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act. Consider seeking legal advice.
The car is also required to have insurance on it even though it is broken down, which makes it not only a $* payment, but I have to pay the insurance or they will take it.
I understand your situation. In Tennessee, maintaining insurance on a financed car is usually a requirement. You may want to consult with an attorney about your options under the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act for the car's issues.
