A Maryland Ford dealer refused to cancel and refund a customer's warranty, and charged him $10,000 over the advertised window sticker price. After deciding to cancel the warranty the day after his purchase, his emails and voicemails requesting warranty cancellation and refund were ignored. He hired Whitney, LLP. We discovered the false advertising as well and filed a lawsuit to recover the warranty refund, the $10,000 price increase as well, and for other issues as well. #car #cars ​ #lawyer​
