Lemon Law

My story. I went two times to dealer whith dead battery. First time he told me nothing wrong with battery and alternator. Second time my car was sitting in a dealer 5 days, and result new battery and looks like over tited belt. Today car didn't start at 2PM, and 5pm. After phone conversation I can get a loner car on monday, but maybe earlier.
My question is how many times the same car should be in dealership with the same problem ,wich is not fixed yet, to be covered by the LEMON LAW???

I'm normally not one to nitpick about this stuff, but that was the longest sentence I've ever tried to read.

Since the Lemon Law differs from state to state, you should take a look at your Attorney General's website. They usually have info about the LL there.

go to www.bbb.org and go to their autoline program, you can find a summary of your state's lemon law. I just won a case thru the bbb autoline aribtration program (infiniti fx35)... so i have some confidence in it; however, before you go to the program, i HIGHLY suggest you do EVERYTHING required by your state to qualify under the lemon law. In michigan the state requires I allow the mfgr to actually look at the car (a factory trained tech, not just a dealer tech)... and i didnt allow them that, even though i allowed the dealer 6 times (2 more than required by law) to fix it.... so the arbitrator required me to let them try to fix it.. just a waste of time..but in the end its a decent program if you need to use it
