What is not clear though, is how much validity the dealership has with its claim that the order has already been initiated and that you must then pay return fees to cancel out the order. Are they really doing all this behind your back?, or were you perhaps not aware of what paperwork was being generated?? DID YOU SIGN ANYTHING so far????? If so, what did it say???

If things have gotten hostile with the dealership, why not talk directly to your insurance company now and tell them what you want to do...(remember, you are entitled to the benefit you paid for and they know it)...maybe they can help you out with the dealer by just not paying them. After all, their contract is with you, and not the dealer......UNLESS YOU DID SIGN A REPAIR CONTRACT ALREADY.

no i did not sign anything with the dealer
