New car has broken down - can I reject it?
I picked up my brand new Ford EcoSport a few days ago. Within 24 hours, it had a steering lock fault and would not start. I was forced to call out the AA, who towed it back to the dealer. Where do I stand legally? Can I reject it?

If you want to reject it the Consumer Rights Act 2015 gives you the right to. But it's probably a simple glitch with the ignition switch that can be fairly easily fixed. Whatever you do, do not suspend repayments until rejection has been accepted by the dealer.
