What are the reasons to sue a car dealership?

I recently bought a used Subaru Outback from a car dealership and the battery is totally fried! Can I sue them?

Suing a car dealership can be appropriate in one of these situations:
  • Your car has serious mechanic issues shortly after purchase, and they weren’t disclosed when you bought the car.
  • The dealership refuses to service your car after you purchased a warranty.
  • The dealership fails to give you the title documents.
  • The dealership fails to refund you for a product you bought and returned, such as an extended warranty.
After sending a demand letter—a letter to the dealership demanding the amount you are owed and why—you can file a small claims lawsuit for $10,000 or less.
