According to this they get 3 more chances. 4 total or 30 days out of service.

Yes, but what is the definition of "substantially impair"...and who determines that?

 

[Sadragna]

Hopefully they can fix it this time around. I don’t want to go back for third time or 4th

Lemon law lawyers are contingent fee lawyers. You get a free consultation and actual good advice if you call one.

Well if you want to read up on Lemon Law I can recommend this book.

You can get it directly from the author (for some reason...) for just $6 by emailing him directly at [email protected]. He also has a pretty interesting YouTube channel with all sorts of advice about car buying and ownership. Things like never buying third party warranties, or not buying gap insurance.

I got a call back from my service advisor and it is a different part number that was broken it was still a fuel line tho So would that count as the same or it’s a new story.

I did it with an 02’ Chevy. Did it as a “breach of contract” suit...ended up with a $10k check.

I have no connection with these fume-chasers. But I am overjoyed when rules are actually enforced. e.g. dieselgate

Diesel gate deprived Americans of good clean engines, because the enforcement became unreasonable.
