Utah Man Drives Car Through Dealership After Refund Refusal

Michael Lee Murray crashed his newly purchased Subaru into a dealership after being denied a refund for what he claimed was a defective vehicle.

Michael Lee Murray, 35, purchased a used Subaru Outback for $4,000 from Tim Dahle Mazda Southtowne in Sandy, Utah, on Monday morning.
After discovering mechanical issues with the vehicle, he returned to the dealership demanding a refund, claiming the car was a 'lemon.'
The dealership refused the refund, citing the car's 'as-is' sale condition, despite having offered alternative solutions like a swap or refund prior to the incident.
Murray followed through on a threat to drive the car through the dealership's front doors, causing $10,000 in damages but no injuries to employees or customers.
He was arrested and charged with felony criminal mischief, reckless endangerment, and economic interruption, later expressing regret for his actions.
