Z is 4 Days Old Having Problems

OK... I drove it to my office, from my office to a meeting and then back to my office with no problems. Driving home from my office is when it started again.

I think it has something to do with the auto transmission.... It almost feels like it is prematurely switching to a higher gear (no power at low speeds) and then switching back to a lower gear (causing the car to buck and shake.) It didn't get to the point of not being able to move this time because I pulled over and restarted it once I felt it happening. Even then it still felt wrong.

There is definitely something wrong.... I'm bringing it in first thing tomorrow for service. Is there a grace period where you can return the car for a full refund? Anyone have any experience with this?

Sorry to hear, it's best to take it in now. The lemon law pretty much states that if the problem can not be fixed in a reasonable amount of attempts it can be deemed a lemon. I think a "reasonable" amount is 4 or 5 times in 2 years...something like that.

New York Lemon Law Statutes

You should be able to find everything there. As far as straight up returning the car, I guess it depends on the dealership. I would think most would rather try repairing it and later on declare it as a lemon.
