Car, Truck, or Fleet Warranty Problems? We've Got You Covered.

"Whether you're a daily commuter or a business owner relying on a fleet of vehicles, a broken warranty can disrupt your life and hurt your finances. We're here to help you get the vehicle or service you paid for."

- Sarah Wolter, Esq.

Whether you're a daily commuter with a faulty car or a business owner with a fleet of malfunctioning trucks, a broken warranty can be a major disruption. It's frustrating when a manufacturer or dealership refuses to honor their promises, leaving you with a defective vehicle and financial losses. At Avandra Law, we understand the inconvenience and stress these situations can cause. Our Denver warranty dispute attorneys are here to help you understand your rights and fight for the repairs, replacements, or refunds you deserve – for both personal and commercial vehicle warranty issues.

Common Types of Vehicle Warranty Disputes

Warranty disputes involving cars, trucks, and fleet vehicles can be complex. Here are some of the common issues we handle:

  • Denied Warranty Claims
    When a manufacturer or dealership refuses to honor a valid warranty claim, often with unfounded excuses or delays. This is especially common with complex vehicle systems like engines, transmissions, and emissions controls.

  • Unreasonable Conditions
    When a company imposes unreasonable conditions for warranty service, such as excessive paperwork, long wait times, or requiring you to use a specific (and inconvenient) service center. This can be particularly disruptive for businesses with tight schedules.

  • Hidden Warranty Exclusions
    When a company hides exclusions or limitations in the fine print of a warranty, leading to unexpected denials of coverage. This can be a major problem with vehicle warranties, which often have specific clauses related to usage and maintenance.

  • Unhonored Implied Warranties
    Even without a written warranty, vehicles are generally covered by implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. This means they should be fit for their ordinary use (personal or commercial). We can help you enforce these implied warranties if your vehicle has significant defects.

Avandra Law Approach to Vehicle Warranty Disputes:

When you come to Avandra Law with a vehicle warranty dispute, we take a strategic and client-focused approach, tailored to your needs whether you're an individual or a business:

  • Demand Letter
    We send a formal demand letter to the manufacturer or dealership, outlining your rights and demanding compliance with the warranty terms.

  • Negotiation
    We skillfully negotiate with the company to seek a fair resolution, which may include repairs, a replacement vehicle, a refund, or a cash settlement. We understand the importance of resolving these disputes efficiently and effectively.

  • Litigation
    If necessary, we are prepared to file a lawsuit and aggressively represent you in court to enforce your warranty rights.

  • Warranties vary, but generally cover defects in materials and workmanship for a specific period or mileage. It's crucial to understand the terms of your specific warranty.

  • Don't give up! We can help you challenge their decision and fight for the coverage you deserve.

  • Contact Avandra Law immediately. We can help you understand your rights and take action to enforce the warranty.

Bait-and-Switch Tactics, Did You Fall Victim to Deceptive Marketing?

"Consumers deserve to be treated fairly and honestly. At Avandra Law, we're dedicated to holding businesses accountable for deceptive practices and protecting the rights of consumers."

- Sarah Wolter, Esq.

False advertising and bait-and-switch tactics are among the most common types of consumer fraud. These deceptive practices mislead consumers into purchasing products or services that don't live up to their promises. At Avandra Law, we're dedicated to protecting consumers from these harmful tactics and holding businesses accountable for their misleading claims.

If you've been the victim of false advertising or bait-and-switch tactics, Avandra Law can help you understand your rights and pursue legal action. We'll investigate your case, gather evidence, and fight to secure the compensation you deserve.

Common Examples of False Advertising

False advertising involves making false or misleading claims about a product or service to entice consumers to make a purchase. This can include misrepresenting the product's features, benefits, price, or quality.

  • Hidden fees or surcharges
    Advertising a low price but adding hidden fees at checkout.

  • Misleading product descriptions
    Exaggerating a product's features or capabilities.

  • Fake testimonials or endorsements
    Using fabricated reviews or endorsements to create a false sense of popularity or effectiveness.

  • "Going out of business" sales
    Falsely claiming a business is closing to pressure consumers into making a purchase.

Common Examples of Bait-and-Switch

Bait-and-switch tactics involve luring customers in with an attractive offer (the "bait"), and then pressuring them to purchase a different, more expensive product or service (the "switch").

  • Advertising a product that is "out of stock"
    When a customer inquires about the advertised product, the salesperson claims it's unavailable and tries to sell them a more expensive alternative.

  • Downplaying the advertised product
    The salesperson criticizes the advertised product or highlights its flaws to discourage the customer from buying it.

  • Making the advertised product difficult to obtain
    The salesperson may impose unreasonable conditions or requirements to purchase the advertised product, making it easier for the customer to choose the more expensive option.

  • False advertising involves any deceptive or misleading statement, image, or omission in an advertisement that is likely to influence a consumer's purchasing decision. This can include misrepresenting a product's features, benefits, price, or availability.

  • If a business lures you in with an attractive offer but then makes it difficult or impossible to purchase the advertised product or service, and pressures you to buy a more expensive alternative, you may have been a victim of bait-and-switch.

  • First, document the deceptive advertising or sales practices. Then, contact the business and attempt to resolve the issue. If that fails, you can file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) or the Colorado Attorney General's Office. You may also want to consult with an attorney about your legal options.

  • Yes, you may be able to sue a business for false advertising or bait-and-switch under state and federal consumer protection laws. You may be able to recover damages for your financial losses, as well as other damages, such as emotional distress or punitive damages in some cases.

At Avandra Law, we understand the frustration, stress, and financial burden that comes with auto warranty and fraud issues. Our team is dedicated to helping you fight back and assert your rights.

Companies' Tactics to Undervalue or Deny Claims

  • Inadequate repairs: Offering to fix the problem with used parts or temporary solutions.

  • Delaying tactics: Using stalling techniques, such as ordering incorrect parts or scheduling repairs far in advance, to wear you down.
