Warranty woes drive car dealership customer to court

C.C. bought a used Audi for $22,000. The dealership’s website indicated that all vehicles came with a seven-month, 11,000 km powertrain warranty. After 5 months the Audi engine failed and it required $15,000 in repairs. The dealership denied the existence of the warranty or claimed that it did not cover the problem with car. Mr. Cameron took the case to trial and the Court ordered the dealership to pay C.C. $40,000 — the cost of the Audi plus all repair costs he had incurred as well as the costs of bringing the matter to court.
