Lemon laws apply to new cars only.
If the car has returned to the dealer for the same problem multiple times for the same problem, I blame the mechanic, not the car. The mechanic is not fixing it right which is not the car's fault.
You have a couple of options.
Find a near by dealer who sells the same make of car and have them fix it next time. Maybe they will get it right.
Another option would be to contact the manufacturer. Most owner's manuals contain a toll free number to their customer care department. Give them a call. Calmly explain the situation. Be honest. Give them as many facts as possible as to the exact dates, what was wrong, and what the dealership did. Try not to yell at the person on the phone as this will get you nowhere. They will contact the dealer. Maybe this will help get your car fixed right.
Dealerships do not like this kind of contact from the corporate offices. When warranty work is done, the corporate office pays the mechanic at the dealership. The corporate office does not like to hear that they are paying to have a job done repeatedly.
You need to get this resolved before the warranty expires because it will then start costing you money.
Lemon Law only applies to new cars.
Also, I don't see how you could win a civil case. You bought a machine. Sure, it came with a warranty. But I think some here are unclear about what a warranty is and does. A warranty is not a guarantee that your car WON'T break, it's a guarantee that the warranty company will pay for the repairs if and when it does break. That's it. It also does not guarantee that the mechanic will be able to figure out what is wrong with the vehicle.
As I said before, you bought a machine. Actually, hundreds of machines. There is no way to predict if, when, and how a car will fail.
Sorry it's not the lovey-dovey feel-good answer you may want to hear, but it's the truth.
It's time to sit down with the Dealers General Manager
and go over this situation calmly. I don't believe that Lemon Laws
apply at all here, I can almost guarantee it, but, you do have a
civil case if this continues, hopefully it will not.
I'd say that they are riding you out till that warranty expires.
Which is why I never deal with car dealers.
Just my opinion on this one, Good Luck to you..
Lemon laws differ from state to state, so I'd recommend asking a lawyer. In most states, though, lemon laws only apply to new cars, not used. What state are you in?
Try sitting down and talking calmly with the dealer in person. If you explain your predicament, they should be willing to help you out. Even if lemon laws don't apply in your case, hopefully the dealer will understand your situation and help you out.
It is very annoying.But lemon law is not apply to used car.It is only applies for new cars.I think it is better to handle with the manufacture management.You can put it as a civil case.Otherwise once go to another garage to repair your car within the warranty period.It is better for you.All the best
Simple answer is NO. the lemon law doesn't apply to used cars. But if it is still under warranty then you have some recourse and unfortunately that is to keep getting it fixed but if I were you I would inform the warranty company that the repair shop isn't fixing but getting paid. I bet they will step in quick.
Yap only to new cars.
I know its annoying but all you can do is to take the car back again and again, and make sure its all done within the warranty period.
For your peace of ming you can take it to another garage and they will repair it for you( make sure you give thme the warranty paperwork)
Lemon laws vary by state - some used cars are covered if they meet the criteria. Research the lemon law in your state and find out.
I'm 90% sure it only applies to new cars.
