Lemon Law?
I am located in Oregon and purchased a new evolution in late 2005. The car was in the shop for over four weeks. I got it back friday night after work and the same problem happend, coolent blowing out the overfill tube. Not to mention a brand new door ding.
The car has 5000 miles on it.
Has anyone ever dealt with a lemon law issue?
If so how do you go about getting your money or a diffrent car?
Thanks

i believe he is right, after the third time of having the car malfunction and after they fix it and your still having problems, it would be time to consult a lawyer. they'll help you either go about getting money or a new vehicle.
contact your states attorney general
your state is different than other states.
in florida.....
you have to have three "attempts" at repair. an attempt is defined as a work order written on a visit. if you go for problem first time, they check it, order a part, come back next time, get part in.....thats two visits.
after the third work order, you notify manufacturer(not dealer) by certified mail. they contact you, and have 1 chance to fix it. if they dont, its a lemon.
the problem has to be for 1 specific problem. i had problems with my egr.......
i unfortunately thought it was three actual repair attempts. they actually fixed it on the sixth visit(i notified after fifth). if my egr sneezes the wrong way in the next year, its a lemon.
now the fact that your car was down for four weeks, in florida would allow you to skip to the next step(notify manufacturer for final repair attempt)
i would assume that this process is almost exactly the same in all states.....but you need to check with oregon

Most lemon lawyers don't actually charge you. They write legal fees into the settlement for the case, and go from there. Most lawyers also won't take such a case unless there is a decent chance that they will win. Get all your service records, and do a google search for lemon lawyers. I'm sure you can talk with one, and they can let you know what's up.
