Anyone Lemon Law their Z?

zilent_jay · 09-13-2010, 01:44 AM

I'm about to submit my case for review by a lemon law attorney.

I've had quite a few problems with this car, and have been down and out about 40 days total now. I know all the service advisers by name. I just got a SES light and have to go back to the dealer AGAIN. I've been pretty patient up until this point, but I'm really getting sick of this ****.

So, anyone successfully lemon law their Z?

Sounds like you got a bad apple. That's unfortunate. I don't know what's going on with your car but I'm sure you have other thread/s about it I just haven't seen.

Sorry to hear.

Most states to qualify for a Lemon the dealer has to be unable to fix the SAME problem at least three times.

Check with your local state law and do a search here because there was another member having the same isuue concerning the lemon law.

In your owners manual packet is a lemon law manual.

Try like 9 documented attempts at a fix without fixing it. They you will have to hire a lawyer to prove it. It's not very fun.

Every state is different. I would talk to a lawyer and look into it.

In Virginia it's 3. But every state is different.

Contact Nissan Corporate if you havn't done so already. Someone here had a problem the moment they left the lot. Eventually he received compensation in terms of extended warranty and reduced payments, so I would look into that. Lemon Law would be a last resort.

What kind of issues are you having? Are they all related? Lemon law claim would be your last resort.

40 days, does it float? You can use it for an Ark!
Another member referred to his car as a paper weight, because it was in the shop so much!
Start filing complaints! Every where, any where you can! "In writing", "make and keep copies"! You do not have to be patient, just be polite!

Is Nissan usually responsive to people wanting to lemon law their vehicles? I know of one or two Mercedes SUVs that went through our shop with current draw issues and Mercedes was very proactive about buying them back from the owners so they test them and see whats causing the issues.
