Here is an excerpt from an article written by an attorney who specializes in dealing with lemon laws. "It’s not unreasonable to expect your new car to run like a charm. But if your new ride has a serious defect and the dealer can’t fix it, you have rights under your state’s lemon law. Each state’s law is different, but to be considered a lemon, the defects have to occur within a certain timeframe (during the first two years of the vehicle’s delivery date, for example) and the car has to have been taken in for repair a specified number of times for the same problem. Typically, you then have to notify the manufacturer and give them a final chance to fix the problem.
If you think you have a lemon, keep a log of your communications with the dealer, the dates your car is out of service, your repair records, and any written correspondence. Contact a lemon law attorney to guide you through the final steps that will legally establish your vehicle as a lemon and entitle you to a refund or a replacement vehicle."
