What makes a car a lemon? And what can we do about it?

 

It depends on which state you live in, but usually, if the vehicle has been in the shop for 30 days during the first year, or the dealership(s) could not fix a major problem in 3 attempts, then you could file for lemon and go from there.

These conditions do not automatically guarantee a lemon case, and a buy-back. You have to go through litigation and have to fight the company. Nobody's willing to pay out tens of thousands of dollars without a fight; otherwise they will have a lemon case like everyday.

If you think you have a good case, then contact the Attorney General's office and ask for the proper procedure. Or you could ask a lawyer who is familiar with this field of work.

 

I have the car for almost a year and i've changed: rear bushings,front bushings, stabilizer link,tranny,right axle and going in on Monday fro the left one,this is so fucking annoying.

 

damn man.. you're rought on the car!!

 

Is it new or used? And sucks, but Lemon law only covers reccuring problems.

 

Used!

 

Now when I come to a stop and then accelerate, there's a "clunk" coming from the left wheel. What could it be?

 

Lemon Law doesn't apply to used. At least you got the warrenty

Sorry to hear your having so much trouble.

 

i have that same sound after they replaced my tranny... dont now either. ?
