If the car has returned to the dealer for the same problem multiple times for the same problem, I blame the mechanic, not the car. The mechanic is not fixing it right which is not the car's fault. You have a couple of options. Find a near by dealer who sells the same make of car and have them fix it next time. Maybe they will get it right. Another option would be to contact the manufacturer. Most owner's manuals contain a toll free number to their customer care department. Give them a call. Calmly explain the situation. Be honest. Give them as many facts as possible as to the exact dates, what was wrong, and what the dealership did. Try not to yell at the person on the phone as this will get you nowhere. They will contact the dealer. Maybe this will help get your car fixed right. Dealerships do not like this kind of contact from the corporate offices. When warranty work is done, the corporate office pays the mechanic at the dealership. The corporate office does not like to hear that they are paying to have a job done repeatedly. You need to get this resolved before the warranty expires because it will then start costing you money. Lemon laws apply to new cars only.

I don't believe that Lemon Laws apply at all here, I can almost guarantee it, but, you do have a civil case if this continues, hopefully it will not. I'd say that they are riding you out till that warranty expires. Which is why I never deal with car dealers. Just my opinion on this one, Good Luck to you..

I know its annoying but all you can do is to take the car back again and again, and make sure its all done within the warranty period. For your peace of ming you can take it to another garage and they will repair it for you( make sure you give thme the warranty paperwork) Yap only to new cars.
