hi- since buying the car a few weeks ago I got it checked out by an independent. It turns out that I have a leaky gasket on the cam cover. It is still in the early stages but obviously my concern is that it will inevitably get worse over time and need replacing which will be costly not to mention dangerous.
I have gone back to the dealer on this stating that it is a pre-existing fault and should have been caught and remedied by them before selling the car to me. While they have not definitively refused yet (they are pushing back saying that it is a monitor action thus implying its not eligible under warranty) I just want to know what my rights are.
From my perspective, I paid top dollar for the car and they told me there were no advisories. Therefore, I think it's not unreasonable, and within my legal rights, for me to ask them to pay for the repairs. I of course expect nothing less than the dealer to try and worm their way out of paying for it, but I am quited peeved about this, understandably. What do you guys think?
