Ford Freestar van problem?

[JoeCool]

I live in Mich and bought a used Ford Freestar in August. I am about 3,000 miles over warranty. I used a loan to finance this. I just found out that the transmission is broken. The dealership will split the bill but I still have to pay about $1,400. Is there a way to get out of my loan contract given this problem and just return the van?

No, there isn't. You bought it and the warranty is over, the dealership has fullfilled their obligation to you, and I can't believe you are balking about them only offering to pay for half-most would send you packing with nothing. Take the deal and run with it, before they come to their senses and change their mind about helping you! They are not legally obligated to pay for anything unless the warranty says so, and if it is expired, then it seems they are just trying to help you out.

That is why you are supposed to have the vehicle checked by your mechanic BEFORE you buy it, so things like this are less likely to happen. But most people don't want to spent the $$, so they take their chances and end up in situations like this.
