It is my 14th times that my G went to the dealership for service over a year and 2months of ownership. i am not surprised at all, take it as if it was my fate.

another CEL light and window air leak. we will see what is next. it has not even been a month since i got my car back from previous problem.

i hate my car so much and it was my worst decision i ever made in my whole life.

 

Lemon time?

 

my car has about 15000 miles and it already exceeded the limit of miles that you can apply for a lemon law in california i think

 

Just sell it. take the hit, because apparently you are unhappy.

sell it, and move on with life..

 

i wish i could do that but then my car is a lease

 

Lemon Law is a familiar subject with me. Short Story: Sued Acura/Vandegriff motors settled out of court. Acura CL-S had 3 transmissions replaced in 1.5 years. Never looked back.

As of January 1, 2001, under California Lemon Law, a vehicle is considered a Lemon if it fails two attempts at repairing life-threatening defects.
California Lemon Law 1793.22.

(a) This section shall be known and may be cited as the Tanner Consumer Protection Act.

(b) It shall be presumed that a reasonable number of attempts have been made to conform a new motor vehicle to the applicable express warranties if, within 18 months from delivery to the buyer or 18,000 miles on the odometer of the vehicle, whichever occurs first, either

(1) the same nonconformity has been subject to repair four or more times by the manufacturer or its agents and the buyer has at least once directly notified the manufacturer of the need for the repair of the nonconformity or

(2) the vehicle is out of service by reason of repair of nonconformities by the manufacturer or its agents for a cumulative total of more than 30 calendar days since delivery of the vehicle to the buyer. The 30-day limit shall be extended only if repairs cannot be performed due to conditions beyond the control of the manufacturer or its agents. The buyer shall be required to directly notify the manufacturer pursuant to paragraph (1) only if the manufacturer has clearly and conspicuously disclosed to the buyer, with the warranty or the owner's manual, the provisions of this section and that of subdivision (d) of Section 1793.2, including the requirement that the buyer must notify the manufacturer directly pursuant to paragraph (1). This presumption shall be a reputable presumption affecting the burden of proof, and it may be asserted by the buyer in any civil action, including an action in small claims court, or other formal or informal proceeding.

(c) If a qualified third-party dispute resolution process exists, and the buyer receives timely notification in writing of the availability of that qualified third-party dispute resolution process with a description of its operation and effect, the presumption in subdivision (b) may not be asserted by the buyer until after the buyer has initially resorted to the qualified third-party dispute resolution process as required in subdivision (d). Notification of the availability of the qualified third-party dispute resolution process is not timely if the buyer suffers any prejudice resulting from any delay in giving the notification. If a qualified third-party dispute resolution process does not exist, or if the buyer is dissatisfied with that third-party decision, or if the manufacturer or its agent neglects to promptly fulfill the terms of the qualified third-party dispute resolution process decision after the decision is accepted by the buyer, the buyer may assert the presumption provided in subdivision (b) in an action to enforce the buyer's rights under subdivision (d) of Section 1793.2. The findings and decision of a qualified third-party dispute resolution process shall be admissible in evidence in the action without further foundation. Any period of limitation of actions under any federal or California laws with respect to any person shall be extended for a period equal to the number of days between the date a complaint is filed with a third-party dispute resolution process and the date of its decision or the date before which the manufacturer or its agent is required by the decision to fulfill its terms if the decision is accepted by the buyer, whichever occurs later.

(d) A qualified third-party dispute resolution process shall be one that does all of the following:

 

I'm right there with you, I've had my car in the dealer 10-20 times since I bought it. I still love it though... even though it is frustrating at times.

 

Great job Elite.....he needs to Lemon Law that car for sure.

 

That works great if the failed repairs are big defects - problem is, I bet many are smaller annoying things instead. That's the type of stuff that can put you over the edge.

 

updates.... my previous problem was my window regulator, and got it replaced. after about month now, my window regulator broke again. that is why there was an air leak.

it is total of 4 times that my windor regulator got replaced. they said it is because my tint.... is this explanable?

do you think this would be good explanation for a lemon law?

 

It is a POSSIBLE reason.

Quick question for you: Do you close your door using the window or the door? The g35's were notorious for window regulators breaking when you close with the window; s2k's have the same problem as well, although to a lesser degree since the door is much lighter.

 

^^^^
you meant closing the door with window up? i meant it is very obvious that you get in and out with windows up right? my S2k has 0 problems and it has 72xxx miles.

 

Wth you bring it back for? 10-20 times? sounds like you bought a Jaguar or a LandRover, lol

 

Psst. You might want to update your stereotypes. If you read the recent JD Power initial quality surveys you might want to substitute something for Jaguar (which btw finished second best).

 

yeah, I know, that Jd power claims buicks really good too. You believe that crap? yeah, theres probably 3 jaguars that have problems out of 100 but dude, theres only 500 jaguars in the USA. lol, same with buick, They still open? I thought they went down the drain already.
