Another legal headache has landed in the lap of once-ubiquitous car dealer Denny Hecker, with Chrysler Financial Services filing a $550 million breach-of-contract complaint against its longtime financing partner.
The complaint, filed in Hennepin County District Court, claims that Hecker has failed to repay loans that add up to that amount.
Hecker previously was sued by Ford and General Motors. The new filing counters an earlier suit he filed against Chrysler Financial Services.

Stock market today: Wall Street dips to send S&P 500 to longest losing streak since January
Sinking technology stocks sent Wall Street lower again, and the S&P 500 fell to its fourth straight loss. The index dipped 0.6% Wednesday for its longest losing streak since early January. The Dow Jones Industrial Average edged down by 0.1%, and the Nasdaq composite fell 1.1%. Tech stocks slumped after ASML, a Dutch company that's a major supplier to the semiconductor industry, reported weaker orders than analysts expected. That helped overshadow stronger quarterly profit reports than expected from United Airlines and other big companies. Treasury yields fell following a sharp tumble in oil prices.
