I'm sorry to hear about your situation. In Ontario, there are consumer protection laws that might help you.
- Ontario's Consumer Protection Act: It protects consumers from unfair practices in the purchase of goods and services.
- Used Vehicle Information Package (UVIP): Check if the dealership provided accurate information about the vehicle.

Did the dealership offer any warranty or guarantee on the vehicle?
There is a warranty
Since there's a warranty, you might have specific rights under that agreement. Here are a few steps you can take:
- Review the warranty terms to understand what's covered.
- Contact the dealership to discuss the issue and explore their repair or replacement options.
- If unsatisfied, consider reaching out to the Ontario Motor Vehicle Industry Council (OMVIC) for guidance.
Do you have any specific questions about the warranty or the dealership's response so far?
