I bought my red 06 SS/SC brand new a month ago. its been in the shop twice for disfuctional brake lights. tonight its having the same issues again. so tomorrow its going back to the shop for the same issue for the 3rd time in only a month of owning the car. i've been told that justifies my car as a lemon. One of my buddies says i should argue that they need to replace my car with an SS/SC with the G85 (my current one does NOT have the G85) for the same price i paid for the current one. Should i try to do that? How do i even go about dealing with a lemon?

 

Actually Im quite sure it has to been brought in 4 times for the same problem...I am looking into lemon law myself. Im 99 percent sure that if the car is out of service 30 days or more and its still under warranty or has been brought in at least 4 times for the same problem and still isnt fixed the 4th time. You may want to google lemon law and look up the specifics for your state but im pretty sure they are all basically the same.

 

we need something like the lemon law in Canada

 

^Especially since you bought a cobalt lol...

 

there is a lemon law in canada lol

 

Tell us what you know then..............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Dittto! I had my subie in 5 times for electrical issues and **** was done for me

 

Lemon law states that on the fourth time if the same problem is verified that they have to replace the car. There are a few stipulations to this though. Only a repair where a faulty or bad part was actually found to be the problem counts. If they say a wire was unplugged, and they plugged it in that does not count. Something has to be replaced. Also they only have to give you the money you owe, or a comparable car. If you complain they *might* give you a car with g85 for the same price, but I wouldn't count on it. If you really want a g85 package cobalt I would just have them pay off the loan then get a car with the g85 package.

 

LEMON LAW States that the problem with the car must have occured at least three times and there is more to it. I know because I had this whole discussion with a LEMON LAW lawyer. GM settled with me without the lawyer. The law may also vary from state to state.

www.lemonlaw.com has the details. Below sample is taken from the site.

The Pennsylvania Lemon Law applies to new cars that suffer a nonconformity; a defect or condition, which substantially impairs the use, value or safety; that cannot be repaired after three attempts by an authorized manufacturer's dealership. This nonconformity must first occur within the first 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. The Pennsylvania Lemon Law also applies to vehicles that are in the shop for repair thirty (30) or more calendar days during the first year.
