Dispute processes are opaque and final decisions rest entirely with the leasing company. Consumers have no independent mechanism to challenge whether wear-and-tear fees are applied consistently or fairly.

Lease termination fees charged after warranty engine failure
Car lessees face unexpected early termination fees when vehicles suffer major mechanical failures during the lease period, even when under manufacturer warranty. During extended repair periods, consumers continue paying lease payments without vehicle access, then face mileage disputes over dealership test miles. This exposes a gap in consumer protection around lease contracts and warranty events.
