Hey Annalene! Sorry to hear about the trouble with your car. Here are a few steps you can take:
- Check the warranty or guarantee provided by the dealership.
- Contact the dealership immediately to report the issue.
- Review the Consumer Protection Act for potential recourse.
Have you contacted the dealership yet, and what did they say?
Yes we did but we struggle for them to help us
Hey Annalene, dealing with a dealership can be frustrating. Since you're in the Western Cape, here's what you can do:
- Consumer Protection Act: You have rights if the car is faulty.
- Ombudsman: Consider contacting the Motor Industry Ombudsman of South Africa for help.
Have you checked the warranty terms thoroughly?
According to them the car has no faults and we bought it as is

Hey Annalene, it sounds like a challenging situation. If the dealership claims the car was sold "as is," you might still have protection under the Consumer Protection Act if you were misled about the car's condition. Have you considered escalating the matter to the Motor Industry Ombudsman of South Africa?
No
