Its unlikely that will bear out in court. In 99% of those cases - they will prpoduce records showing that they sent multiple letters and notices telling you to get your car or they will deem it abandoned or sell it off under a mechanics lein. Generally - just because you have a dispute with the manufacturer - you are not enitled to store your broken vehicle at a dealership for free and without thier agreement otherwise. You will likely need to hire a lawyer, typically at your expense, to review this and determine what actually happened and what if any remedies you might have.
