Under what circumstances can my car fall under the lemon law?

I purchased a automobile with an lengthened guaranty that we after found had most issues, from an tangible dealership. Neither a dealer, nor a guaranty association will recompense for my damaged engine as well as delivery mounts, withdrawal me to have to cough up half of a car’s price. Does this tumble underneath a lemon law??
Thanks.
It’s a full aftermarket guaranty purchased from a play itself. The engine mounts gave before long after we paid for a car, 800 or so miles later, a exam expostulate was fine!

If it’s not still under the factory warranty, the lemon law won’t apply. Lemon laws protect the buyers of NEW vehicles from serious, recurring defects. Stuff that didn’t come out right from the factory. Conditions such as abuse, wear and tear, or negligence are not covered.
It would be kind of difficult for you not to notice prior to purchase that motor mounts and transmission mounts were broken. There is a seriously annoying clunking sound when both of those mounts go that you would notice right away. (assuming you test drove the car before buying it). I’m guessing you simply have a drivetrain warranty (engine, transmission, axle) and it is not covered under the extended warranty.
If you bought a BRAND NEW car that you have taken in to get the EXACT SAME PROBLEM fixed 3-4 times and its still not fixed, then you MIGHT have a lemon.
Anything else is NOT a lemon.
1/2 of the cars price? For tranny and engine mounts? There is more to this then we are being told.
