What to do if I bought a used car wirh an extended warranty but the car has had repeated issues and the warranty is maxed out do the deale won’t pay for anymore repairs?

I’ve taken it back to the dealer in which I bought the car hoping they’d work with me but basically just wanted to sell me a new car at a much higher price and higher monthly payments. To whom do I address this issue to get it resolved? I have not been late on any car payments, I’ve kept up with regular maintenance and yet my car is always in the shop being repaired, several times over the last 2 years, to the tune of $9,000.

I suggest that you consult with the manager of the dealership drom where you purchased the vehicle about the unit possibly being a "lemon" since it is in the shop so much. You also need to consult with a representative for the manufacturer to see about turning in the vehicle for a new car where you do not get penalized.

If the manufacturer and dealership cannot accomodate your request, I suggest that you consult with a comsumer law attorney for direction.
