They sold me a rental without telling me.

As I drove my E350 off the month last month, the brakes were squeaking. Since then, it's been in service to remove squeak noise 4 times. Finally they decided to change brake pads at their expense, originally telling me it's my problem. Now they say they forgot to have me sign some disclosures stating I knew I purchased a prior rental. Anyone heard of legal action regarding this. I live in California and have heard auto fraud / lemon law.

Thanks

OMG! That's really sucks. I dont think you can file lemon law for this matter.
Did you get good deal on that car?

Hell no.

Of course I didn't sign the papers. I've brought all of my paperwork to the lawyer's office. Did your friend who sued Ford get a free car?

I'll respond as soon as my case is settled. Don't want any of this to ruin my case.

Feel free to post if you know of any cases like this that have settled and what the outcome was.

Threaten to sue. They may just give you a "great" deal

on a new car as part of the settlement.

Let us know what happened.
