1-Time to have a conversation about diminished value with Farmers. Explain that you have been told that, upon telling a dealer about this incident, had happened stated they would not accept your truck in trade. I will be waiting for their response to this:
2-Also, make sure you ask about Farmer's liability if your truck goes into "Exorcist" mode and causes an accident or even kills someone. Do this in person and then follow up with an email, and a letter, and wait for a response im writing...
3-Do you have a lien holder, GAP insurance... If you do, contact the lien holder and tell them what has happened to the truck. Mention that you have a GAP policy.
4- I suggest that you do not accept the truck until you are satisfied with the answers you get.
I made St. Farm buy back my Mercedes SLK 320, so I know what an uphill battle it can be. Ask tough question, demand answers in writing, rinse and repeat.
When you are done asking questions then I suggest turning it over to an attorney but doing so too quickly will just make your atty a lot of money.
****Remember you are not the first time this kind of thing has happened to.
I suggest you contact that guy in Nevada, TX about his claim. Rubalcava Concrete Construction, Wylie, TX his name was Anthony.***
