Legal Question in Consumer Law in Ohio

bought car for my son, was told by dealer when signing deal not to tell bank that car was for my son, the dealership also told me that the bank was requiring me to carry warranty on the car that cost nothing (actually cost 2500) also said I had to trade in my 2nd car to secure the loan. In interview after deal w/ bank the bank cancelled the loan based on what the dealership told me, the bank told me they can't require me to carry warranty or to trade 2nd car, stating that it violated federal law. Told dealership that I wanted my car and my down payment of 2k back and they refuse. What do I do?
