I know you at least used to practice law. Did you write the letter yourself? AND THREATEN LITIGATION? I would have in your situation.
But at any rate that means that the dealership voluntarily agreed to accept the warranty work. If it decided not to, and this has been my point, only a court can force the dealership to abide by the law. There may be jurisdictions that authorize a consumer protection authority to have some teeth, but these decisions can typically be challenged in court.
I should add that many dealerships now have clauses in their sales contract where you agree to waive your right to go to court and proceed to arbitration only - usually arbitrators of a dealership's choice. There are less formal environments and you might stand a better chance without an attorney.
