Hey all, I'm in Florida.
I recently purchased an engine from a dealer in Texas, and had it shipped to a shop here in Florida, where I paid almost a thousand dollars to have it professionally installed... only to find out that the engine doesn't work. It seized within seconds of operation (while still on the lift) and the mechanic states that it must have been an internal defect.
Now I'm trying to return the engine, but the dealer says it's not their problem, and won't accept it back. I purchased it through credit card, and so have placed a stop payment, since the company refuses to honor their defective products return policy.
My question is, is the dealer also responsible for compensating me for the almost thousand-dollar labor I paid having this defective product professionally installed?
Also, If I lose this battle for the engine cost, can it in any way adversely affect my credit rating?
Thank you for your help.
