Yes, you should consider the lemon law. The check engine
light is an important safety feature & apparently not related to your gas cap.
In Fl, the dealer has 3 chances to fix the problem, then you have the right to file w/the state. It's prettty easy...the car mnfg has a right to arbitrate but they rarely do. And even if they wanted to arbitrate, it all done by phone so you'ld avoid court. You may even receive a portion of previous car payments. Most importantly, you'll get into a new car w/working safety features.
No im pretty sure your car is not a lemon.. the light could go on for various reasons such as a mechanical pron=blem due to bad maitenece or other things but your car is not a lemon
Go to your State websites for information on your state's lemon laws which vary by state. However, your new car's problem does not sound serious enough to bother with the hassle of pursuing legal remedies at this point. Why not simply drive to another dealer and you'll probably get the problem fixed. If you don't really want the car now that you bought it, I don't think you'll get out of the deal using the lemon law. The original computer error code due to the loose gas cap was stored in the computer's memory and takes many "drive cycles" to erase completely. So wait at least two weeks for the light to go off once the problem is fixed. Your dealer should have told you that when they turned the light off.
No, but what you can file for is a nice warm glass of shut the hell up!
make sure the gas cap is turned at least three times after getting gas. your car should have come with a lemon law book. I would advise you to read it-i doubt your problem is a lemon law issue.
Gas caps are the #1 reason for a new cars check engine light to go on.....It will take time for the gasket on the cap to seat to the lip of the tank.... when you fuel the next time..... Put the cap on and only turn it till it clicks 2 times and leave it..... See if that helps.....The dealer probably put it on a computer and that's the code it gave them. And it is almost pin point accurate..... So I don't think the lemon law will cover this one.Good luck
Cras are machines with thousands of parts. Sometimes parts fail, even new ones. Simply having a new car with a failed part does not qualify it as a lemon under lemon laws.
To be a lemon, it must have a documented recurring problem that the dealer is unable to solve.
It sounds like you may be on your way to having a lemon, but it is way too early to tell.
Even though it is inconvienient and frustrating for you, you need to give them the opportunity to solve the problem first.
