Does your dealership do these forced arbitration agreements? If so, how do you approach them?I would start with a demand letter requesting compliance with the contract. If they do not comply, you do need to file a claim in arbitration. The Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA") puts arbitration agreements on the same footing as contracts generally. If the vehicle is not financed, I recommend that the dealership have an agreement to arbitrate as part of the Purchase Agreement. An arbitration agreement is a legally binding contract between two parties that offers an alternative dispute resolution to avoid civil court litigation. A dealer agreement is a legal agreement between two or more parties, typically a manufacturer of a product and a dealer or distributor of that product. (a) The method of appointment of arbitrators is as specified in the agreement to arbitrate. I filled out all this paperwork.
