Weird newish car title issue

So I bought a car from a new car dealer that was two years old last year for work. I got a letter from the DMV 3 months ago stating issues: " The dealer never has submitted the original title or ANY paperwork, but they issued a title to my lender, as dealers can e-file this mess, and it was caught in an audit" . I have been working with the DMV theft and dealer compliance officer since about a month after the letter. It has been a few weeks and almost a year since I purchased the car, and the title is still blocked from resale, and it is time for it to be sold off. Yes, I have made all payments and contacted Ford and let them know what is going on.

Is this a new thing? Will I end up having to get lawyers involved? Who has played this game before?

I don't need the car and want the payment off me and have a buyer lined up, but this is an issue I am willing to let it go back to the dealer for full price paid.
 
F dealers.

I'd like to be a fly on the wall when the dealer gets that letter from your attorney.... with cc: License and Theft Bureau and cc: dealer compliance officer

In all reality, they'd probably just say 'meh, another letter'
 
We bought a car for the company I worked for in VA before I became a county guy.

The dealer played games with the title for about a year. We got the VA DMV Enforcement involved and suddenly we had a title in a couple of weeks.

Good luck
