businessman back in 2012. now to a consumer watch. buying a vehicle can be one of the most expensive purchases you make, so if the advertising says you'll get certain features, you expect to get them, right? however, a maryland man was surprised to learn his brand new truck didn't come with added features like floormats. he bought the truck thinking the extras were included as advertised. >> he then told me, well, you can't go off that sticker, he says, because all we do is change the title of the vehicle on top and we're not responsible for what's below. >> not only were the floormats not included, but this man was also missing another pricey feature. tonight on news4 at 5, reporter suzanne hogan explains you're right when you don't get what the ads promise you. it's a promise parents have had to deal with:

he was flicking matches on me... my ex-husband's intentions were to murder me. glenn: i made sure yvette's abuser went away for good, and put in place tougher sentences, because domestic violence can never be tolerated. yvette: mr. ivey showed compassion. i felt like i could trust him. narrator: glenn ivey. as state's attorney, a proven leader. in congress, he'll combat domestic violence, and protect president obama's legacy. glenn: i'm glenn ivey and i approve this message, because i'm on your side.

ground. toddlers one to three years old, they're going to have pretty regular tantrums. you really should start outgrowing these, at least with regulator, when you hit four years old. >> outgrowing them. i see people in stores, and i know i went through this with my kids, they can't get what they want, and then they're screaming and laying out on the floor. what do you do? >> you ignore. or if you can, you just say, we're leaving. we're leaving the store right now. you absolutely want to remain calm, cool, collected, consistent, firm. then afterwards you talk to them about why that's inappropriate behavior and how they need to find words to express it. let me say one thing. this is really important. preschoolers are going to have periodic temper tantrums, but if your preschooler is having daily temper tantrums, that's when you should start getting concerned, okay? so there are a few things that i want to talk about here. if temper tantrums are occurring daily or if there is no trigger, it's not because they're really tired

wanted something. if it's lasting 20 minutes or longer, it's extreme. if it's occurring with a non-parent, so a lot of kids are worse with their parents. if it's happening at school or daycare, or there's real aggression -- we're not talking about mildly banging your head a little bit -- these are areas where you're going to say, okay, it's time for me to seek some help. >> stick around so parents can find out what to do to stop it when it's a red flag for something else. back to you. new information from the live desk after the break. the legal action just announced

that's problematic for bernie sanders not only because hillary clinton, that is her own state, but it's a closed primary. and bernie sanders, one of the secrets to his success has been winning all these independents that can end up voting in new york. >> reporter: so independents, young voters, have boosted sanders to victory in a number of states now. new york could be a different story, and that one is coming up real soon now, in less than two weeks. in washington, i'm tracie potts, news4. a giant leap for the purple line today. maryland could soon approve the contract to get it built. it's a $5.5 billion contract that will pay several companies to design, build, operate and maintain the line. when it's all done, the light rail line will connect prince georges and montgomery counties between new carrollton and bethesda. tom, it's warming up a little out there. we can't wait for it to warm all wait up. >> yes, april regaining its dignity as a spring month as things warm up nicely.

if the answer to that question is my kid is generally pretty happy-go-lucky and doing fine, then i would not make a big deal over them periodically saying some of those comments, particularly when it's in the context of them being really upset or angry. what i do is when this happens, you talk to your child afterwards, maybe the next day, and you say, look, it concerns me when you make these comments, but i want to know, do you feel this way only when you're really upset? did you just say that because you are really upset, or do you sometimes feel this way at other times? i bet almost 100% of the time is the answer you'll get is the kid will say, i was just really upset and angry. >> because i didn't get what i wanted. >> whatever the case may be. >> when do you know that it's time to call a doctor? >> you got to trust your gut instinct, right? parents always do know best, for the most part. you have to trust your gut, but if the answer to that question that i just pointed out is, when

these thoughts at other times, absolutely that's a time when you want to start seeking extra help. or if they're just really behaving in a difficult manner. if you're really struggling with your child, there's really no reason for you to say, well, i have to deal with this. this is the way things have to be. maybe the problem is with the child. maybe there is some sort of the underlying condition going on, or maybe the issue is with the parent, you know. not all kids are the same. some kids are very difficult to parent. some parents need some guidance. as they always say, your child is not born with instructions, right? some kids are easy, others are not, and you have to treat other kids differently and sometimes you need some help. >> at some point we need to talk about the idea of spankings and punishments. i know you have some ideas about that. >> maybe next time. >> come back and we'll talk about that. back to you. thanks, barbara. new at 11:45, a touching moment at t
