Question: What steps can be taken when a dealership and an extended warranty provider refuse to cover the cost of a necessary vehicle repair, despite prior assurances that the vehicle was in good condition?

Answer: If a dealership and an extended warranty provider refuse to cover the cost of a necessary vehicle repair, despite prior assurances that the vehicle was in good condition (for example, if the other party has stated that the vehicle was inspected properly and ensured the buyer that all relevant repairs had been completed prior to purchase), the buyer may have a cause for action stemming from the seller's misrepresentations in the inducement.
