Has anyone had to Lemon-Law their Jeep?
Curious here if anyone had had to "Lemon-Law" their Jeep and why..
No idea what this entails but someone had mentioned it at work this morning because I get the good ol "where's your Jeep?" when I come into work.
My Jeep has spent more time at the dealer than I'd like to it. I am currently on round 5 of it being in for really bad leaking, not to mention the plethora of other fun stuff its been in there for. Like pretty much puddling up on my floors and leaking in while I am driving. I haven't had my Jeep in over a week now. They seem to be very lackadaisical about it, like its no big deal.
Any help would be appreciated!

I lemon lawed my 2011 for leaks, called a lawyer once the dealer told me they needed to send to a body shop to address. Once I contacted a lawyer it took about 4 months. Jeep undid the deal minus a per mile charge. Only way you could really get burned is if you took a hit on a trade in, in order to get a lower price on the jeep or something else (they credit you the $ what you traded in for).
My 2012 doesn't leak at all.

I found when it comes to warranty work they act like they don't care cause there not making money I had mine in for a fan motor and it took two days then found out that it only took 2 hours to do.
And they had the fan motor in stock so it wasn't waiting on parts.

After the fourth time and they don't fix it you can lemon. My friend did it for a roof leak that they just made worse and he got it lemon. It was in the shop for 27 days. He got reimbursed for the lift and tires and bought it all new for his 2013 rubi. Now what's even worse is his 13' has a door leak now. Another lemon.

My 13 goes in next week for a list of issues.
I might have some phone numbers floating around I will pm them to you when I get home.
