Q. Dealership not certifying a car?

March 28, 2024

A: To buy the car, just call the leasing company that you make the payments to. The dealer does not own the car and has no say in this process.

I hope you did not pay the dealer for 'certification.' That is just scam BS. You might report the dealer to the DMV, it sounds to me like a case of dealer fraud.

Q. Refund of down payment deposit at car dealership in California.

March 27, 2024

A: I think you are entitled to sue the dealer, and file a complaint against the dealer with the DMV.

I believe that what you signed is not allowed to override California Code, Vehicle Code - VEH § 11736.

Small claims court is where you take this to sue.

Q. Are there laws in CA that protect consumers from undisclosed additional fees in lease a new car, ? Tks

March 25, 2024

A: "Undisclosed" and "overlooked" do not have the same meanings.

Financing terms must be set out nicely and boldly. You can retain a lawyer to review your contract and advise you on whether your contract complies with the law. But if you did business with a new car dealer, I'm betting the dealer used the same contract form that is industry-wide standard. If so, start saving to pay the extra money.
