Sure. You can sue. But you won't win any more than you already got because you are only entitled to the actual cash value of the car if it was a total loss.
Why is there such a discrepancy? Did you roll a previous loan balance into your current loan? Did you not buy GAP insurance?
Cars depreciate faster than the reduction of loan balances but that kind of difference is hard to understand.
