What really happens when a dealership sells a vehicle with rolled-back mileage, undisclosed damage, forged paperwork, hidden warranty problems—or a car that simply can’t stay out of the repair shop?
On this episode of Legally Exhausted, Abe Ovadia sits down with Florida attorney Joshua Feygin, a consumer protection attorney whose practice has taken him deep inside the world of automobile fraud, warranty disputes, defective vehicles, and dealership litigation.
Joshua explains how he found his way into this highly specialized area of law after graduating from FIU Law and why cases involving car dealerships quickly became an important part of his practice. What started with researching a dealership dispute eventually turned into years of uncovering some remarkable—and sometimes unbelievable—situations involving consumers and the automotive industry.
Abe and Joshua dig into odometer rollbacks, including how mileage manipulation can still happen with modern vehicles and how attorneys can sometimes identify discrepancies through vehicle computers, title histories, repair records, and other evidence. Joshua also discusses undisclosed accident history, missing airbags, questionable financing practices, forged documents, arbitration clauses, and why consumers need to perform their own due diligence instead of relying solely on what they’re told at the dealership.
