Hello everyone. Here's a final update for those who initially were following this saga.
Today I received an e-mail from the office of the Ohio Atty. General. In a nutshell, I'm out of luck. (unless I wish to pay for an attorney) According to the e-mail, the Atty. Gen. thinks that there may have been a violation of state law but no, they don't investigate every complaint. They offer non binding mediation. Only when a pattern of complaints are logged do they get interested enough to act in an official capacity.
So much for that!
I sold the Jeep to a guy at work and he seems to be enjoying it. Better him than me.
With $3.50/gal. gasoline I couldn't afford to use it for my daily driver anyway.
And so ends my tale of woe. Just thought I'd let you all know how it turned out.
