Default Re: Lemon Law help

I have had 2 new vehicles replaced under Conecticut's Lemon law. It is simple once you meet your state's requirements. Read your state law and figure out what the law states, usually total days in the shop or number of attempts to fix the same problem. If you meet the state's requirement just document this fact with your repair receipts and then request the the dealer to contact the mfg's rep and say you want a new car or you are going to file a claim through the appropriate state agency. The mfg should immediately comply as they want to keep the buybacks quiet. If the state gets involved it becomes reported and part of public record. If the mfg agrees to buy it back (without being forced to by the state) there really is no public record. The car is bought back or replaced with a new vehicle, the title is tagged as a lemon or mfg buyback, the car is auctioned off and it doesn't show up in any statistics. Hope this is helpful.

Well, the truck has been in the shop for 3 weeks now. Tony has givin me numbers and finally may be getting somewhere. This truck has 11K and is less than 2 years old and has spent over 4 months total time in the shop...amazing. Also in contact with NJ lemon law, you were correct there is no Lemon law for medium duty trucks but there is another way they go about it and basically the lawyer is saying they can not have a reasonable excuse for having a vehical for more than 2 months for repairs. He is handleing this for NO Charge...stay tuned..
