Do I have grounds to sue the car dealership?
The dealership wants to buy me out of my lifetime warranty because my car repair cost is higher than the car’s value. Do I have rights to sue them for doing that?

General guidance: You have a right to see your warranty contract, and the dealership can’t force a buyout unless the contract clearly allows it. If they refuse to provide a copy, you may have grounds to complain to your state consumer protection agency or consider legal action for breach of contract. Without the contract language, it’s impossible to confirm whether their buyout is valid.

Have they offered a specific buyout amount, and is it in writing?
They offered an amount and delivered the check to the dealership, but I refuse to pick it up. I tried getting a copy of my warranty contract since I lost mine, and they wouldn’t send it to me. I need to confirm whether there’s truly a clause that lets them buy me out if repair cost exceeds vehicle value. I feel I’m being scammed and want a second opinion.
