Legal Question in Consumer Law in California

Misled by Auto Dealership

I just leased a new Chevy truck but in the process I had to terminate my other auto lease early. The reason why I did this is because I heard that GM had a program that allowed you to terminate your lease early without paying any penalties. So I went to the dealership and inquired about this, they told me that they did have such a program. At first the salesman told me to return the truck at the dealer where I got it from and then come back and pick up my new truck. But after the salesman spoke with his manager he told me that they could take the truck from me. Mind you that throughout this whole time I was sporadically asking if I qualify and if everything was going to be okay. They kept on assuring me that everything was fine. Here�s the problem after three weeks I get a phone call from the dealer saying that I don�t qualify for this program and that I have to pay all the penalties for ending my lease early or come up with $7,000. I said I wanted my old truck back and that I don�t have the money to pay. They told me that my old truck was already sent to GM and that there is nothing I can do to get it back. Please let me know if I have a case because I feel that they misled me so that they could make a sale.
