I have several questions regarding a consumer law case.
The dealer service department and the warranty company spent over $11,000 dollars in parts (no labor is calculated) for a vehicle that had less than 44,000 miles. This figure was intentionally withheld from the owner, in fact they told the owner verbally and in writing that the cost information was confidential between the dealer and the warranty company.
I purchased a brand new vehicle for $26,725 in 1993. There have been nonconformities beginning in1994 (which maybe to old to address?) As well as new nonconformities in 1996- 1999 which have recently been discovered as reoccurring problems.
As the owner I would like to hold the dealer, warranty company and manufacturer accountable for withholding important information. I believe the nonconformities can be addressed under the Uniform Commercial Code (TARR Baby) providing the plaintiff has the expertise to confront these major corporations and the complexities of the legal procedures. The defendants are counting on my not being able to obtain legal representation. They have said it is a question of time only and not whether there is a questionable business practice occurring or an issue of right or wrong?


I am looking for information regarding failure to disclose information, breach of contract under the Shaken Faith doctrine and failure to act in Good Faith. I am looking for precedent cases where the courts have ruled that a car dealer/warranty company etc. does not have the right to with hold the price of repairs even if they are paid under warranty?
Also, I am trying to maintain that this is not a lemon law case and thus should come under the Uniform Commercial Coed and Magnuson-Moss Act. I had several repairs done, which started as early as 1994 they were thought to be fixed but then later problems reoccurred. The defendants are saying that the only question is one of Statue of Limitations. However, I have major repairs that occurred from 1996 to 1999. Wouldn't these new repairs constitute a breach of contract if the problem has reoccurred once more after repeated attempts to fix it?
The seriousness of the repairs was not disclosed nor was the associated cost. Additionally, the extended warranty has expired and the problem has reoccurred. Doesn't breach of contract occur after the problem has been fixed and then through use the user discovers the problem still exists?
Also, I have found other people that have had excessive problems with their vehicle (same model) and the dealer, etc. This model is no longer made; could we possibly have a class action suit, if so what do we do next?
Are there any consumer watch groups that can assist us? Other issues that may be pertinent FTC or Consumer fraud?
I am looking for others who have had similar problems (major repairs) with their 850 Volvo.
