Car is stuck in another state, need advice

Long story short, a month ago I was moving cross-country and planned to drive. So, I took my Supra to a Toyota dealership just to get it serviced. I was told there was an open software recall (the brake issue one) and was told they had no issues with getting it done. Lo and behold, after a week, the ECU ends up getting bricked due to this recall and no timeline when it would get fixed. I had to scramble to find flights and ended up having to rent out a car while I’m at my new location because I just started a new job. For context, the car is currently in Florida and I’m now in Washington state.

The dealership did eventually fix the car, but by that point I’m 3200 miles away and so I am trying to get the car shipped to me. The dealership doesn’t want to cover me because they don’t think they are liable. They told me that they’ll try to get Toyota corporate to cover it, but it’s been crickets for two weeks. Calling Toyota support myself was useless, they said they couldn’t do anything for me and this is between the dealership and I. What else can do at this point? Is there any legal action I can pursue? This whole ordeal is becoming a money sink and I’m out of patience. I’m wondering if I should just bite the bullet and just arrange to have my car shipped back to me myself.
