As a consumer, you have the right to due process when resolving a dispute, accurate information about the product or service you purchased, fair and prompt treatment by businesses and customer privacy. Generally speaking, if someone has sold you something that does not work as it should be expected to and you've sought repair or replacement for that item without success then yes you could sue them in an effort to rectify the situation. It is important to remember though that every case is different and some factors like applicable laws can influence whether or not litigation is possible in this particular instance.

The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act applies to both written and implied warranties on consumer products. It protects consumers by imposing certain responsibilities on manufacturers, retailers, distributers, and service provide with respect to written or spoken warranties. The law states that a consumer may seek an injunction against the use of an unconscionable commercial practice or inaction in connection with a contract for purposes of restraining such practices or actions within three years after discovery of the facts giving rise to the cause of action under this section; provided however, that if there is no discovery until after four years from such date these facts are discovered then any action hereunder shall be brought within one year from date of such discovery; Provided further that if a person sues under the provisions of Section 13(a)(2), (3) (9), (10), and (16), he must not file any action based upon theses claims more than three years after his cause of action arose; provided further finally that this limitation shall not prevent any person from instituting proceedings upon a bond given upon these acts at any time when proceedings may be had as hereinafter authorized at law or in equity on any obligation, covenant,or liability intended to be created by such bond.
