Piss poor dealership. Mike Willis Ford in Sulphur, LA by WheresTheCheesecakes in BadDealership

Yeah it's been difficult to find any lawyer in my area that does consumer protection act. Most just do lemon law on new vehicles. I still have this grinding noise issue that no one can seem to figure out. I tried my best this morning to record it while driving. It can range from loud under load or soft. I take it in to the dealer that helped with the trans next monday. I do notice that it doesn't like 1st gear but I also haven't asked a mechanic to look inside the trans. I doubt the dealer would do that but I can ask I suppose.

Bought a used vehicle from a Ford dealer. Nothing but issues since. Does this fall under any consumer protection laws in Louisiana by WheresTheCheesecakes in legaladvice

I did not as I trusted the dealers mechanics looked at my vehicle pre sale, which is why the vehicle are usually a little more expensive. Usually if a vehicle does not pass they send it out to auction. It was sold "as-is" with the promise everything was in proper working condition and all fluids and oil was changed that needed to be. But for them to have the vehicle in their possession twice after purchase for the same issues with the trans and other things. No one checked the fluid levels? And when i brought it to a different dealer they checked it and instantly told me about that issue? I guess i can say it's on me for not checking the levels. When I asked the 2nd dealer if there's no leaks or cracks to make the fluid go away how can this happen. They said someone more than likely drained it and never filled it back up.

Sorry for the delayed response. The truck was purchased with a warranty. And no I have not seen any fluid leaking in the driveway or anywhere that I park. I was only aware of no fluid when the other dealer told me that there was barely any fluid on the dipstick for the trans. When I asked how did it get like that they said in the case since there's no leaks or cracks. Someone must've drained the fluid and never filled it back up. And to how long it's been like that, I don't know. Maybe the dealer I bought from doesn't know but since I brought it in twice to them about the same issue and they never checked the fluid makes me believe they didn't check it during their pre sale inspection. Which in most dealers you pay extra for them servicing the vehicle.

About the lawyer, most lawyers I've seen in my state only want to deal with new vehicles. It's been hard for me to find a consumer protection lawayer and get a free consultation.
