Lemon law advice??
Does anyone have any experience working with the lemon law or lemon law attorneys? Im starting to work the pocess and am curious what experiences any of you have had? Is it a huge pain, how long does it take, is it even worth it? I have read that even if you win the dealer can deduct usage fees on your current vehicle so whats the difference between the law and just trading it in? Any advice or experience would be appreciated. Thanks

As with any legal process, it can be lengthy. Lemon Laws vary state to state....if I am not mistaken since the cases are filed in state courts. Make sure you get an atty who is a well versed in lemon law case law. I believe the car manufacturer covers all costs involved if it loses the case.

See this is where the problem lies. I am an ohio resident, im stationed in florida, but i purchased the vehicle in new mexico. Sticky situation. all of these states have their own laws and guidelines. This was more of a general question to see if any one had gone through the process and were either glad they did or regretted it.

From past experience You will have to work with the law of the state that the vehicle is registered in, If that is not the one you’re in it can be a pain, Before Chrysler had their troubles all you had to do was say LL and they would offer a buy back. What kind of trouble are you having? How many documented repair attempts have they made?

I went through the lemon law here in NC. It took about 4 months to get my new Jeep. Chysler has an arbitration company the nogatiates between you and the dealer. I was on a first name basis with that guy in Texas. He did all kinds of claims from ford, chevy, ect. from all states. I wish you much luck bro!! My experence was a NIGHTTMARE... however worth it. I got a Jeep that actually ran. My prob was with the computer/engine completely shutting off while driving down the road. It left me stranded many times!!! Hopefully you will have a better experience!
