When people ask where I work I say “I work for Mercedes” which couldn’t be further from the truth. I work for “Euro Imports an Authorized Mercedes Benz Retailer”. Doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue.
We pay to go to training, we pay for tools from the manufacturer, we pay for the ability to make money off of their products.
Individuals can sue the dealer that gave them the run around. This isn’t Supreme Court level stuff.

Yeah, I was speaking quickly and didn't realize I had to identify potential vicarious liability/agent liability, negligent supervision issues, lol. Dealerships are independently owned and operated, but guess who they are compensated by, affiliated with, and usually trained by....just let it sink in for a moment.
Against? You're joking right? As an attorney, it is easy to see potential causes of action (negligence, assorted tort actions) against both Toyota and each and every dealership who fails to follow proper recall procedures and causes damage or property loss to customers vehicles. No, it isn't Supreme Court stuff, it is usually lower level civil litigation...
