What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NC
I recently purchased a used car ('04 Mini Cooper) from a dealer (Dodge dealership). Shortly after I discovered that the factory installed radio was gummed up with something (drink spilled in it) and took it back in. They replaced with with the same type of radio but a week or so later the speakers started randomly going out, now when you start the car it plays for anywhere from a second to 2mins then cuts out.
I took it back in and they said they couldn't see anything wrong and that I'd have to take it to the Mini dealership to have them diagnose the problem and if it was their fault THEN they'd replace it. The Mini dealership is going to charge me over $100 just to look at it.
Is the Dodge dealership responsible for fixing this or do I have to suck it up and pay the Mini dealership first?
Thanks,
D
