Anyone Lemon Law their Z?
 

I'm about to submit my case for review by a lemon law attorney.

I've had quite a few problems with this car, and have been down and out about 40 days total now. I know all the service advisers by name. I just got a SES light and have to go back to the dealer AGAIN. I've been pretty patient up until this point, but I'm really getting sick of this ****.

So, anyone successfully lemon law their Z?

Sounds like you got a bad apple. That's unfortunate. I don't know what's going on with your car but I'm sure you have other thread/s about it I just haven't seen.

Sorry to hear.

Most states to qualify for a Lemon the dealer has to be unable to fix the SAME problem at least three times.

Check with your local state law and do a search here because there was another member having the same isuue concerning the lemon law.

In your owners manual packet is a lemon law manual.

Try like 9 documented attempts at a fix without fixing it. They you will have to hire a lawyer to prove it. It's not very fun.

In other words... Goooooooood luuuuuuuuuuck with this one. :rofl2::stirthepot:

Every state is different. I would talk to a lawyer and look into it.

In Virginia it's 3. But every state is different.

Contact Nissan Corporate if you havn't done so already. Someone here had a problem the moment they left the lot. Eventually he received compensation in terms of extended warranty and reduced payments, so I would look into that. Lemon Law would be a last resort.

:iagree: What kind of issues are you having? Are they all related? Lemon law claim would be your last resort.

40 days, does it float? You can use it for an Ark!
Another member referred to his car as a paper weight, because it was in the shop so much!
Start filing complaints! Every where, any where you can! "In writing", "make and keep copies"! You do not have to be patient, just be polite!

Just saying, I don't think any state goes up to 9. 3 is pretty standard if it is serious enough to warrant lemoning.

Thanks! :tup:

Is Nissan usually responsive to people wanting to lemon law their vehicles? I know of one or two Mercedes SUVs that went through our shop with current draw issues and Mercedes was very proactive about buying them back from the owners so they test them and see whats causing the issues.

I don't know about Nissan but the law is the law.

I know my friend in Florida went thru this, he got a lawyer and the company GMC bought the SUV back from him.

The laws and a lawyer is your best friend. ;)

ten years ago I lemon lawed a Saab in WA. I was able to do it without a lawyer and at the end Saab said it wasnt a lemon but paid me as if it were. They hate their cars to be labled a lemon.

This is true but there is a huge difference between a company being proactive and buying the car back with no hassle and needing to get a lawyer and take it to court.

Agreed. Most car companies are pretty good about taking care of you. Honda took care of some issues with a two year old base model Civic my dad had by putting him in a new Si at basically no cost.

Each state is different.But i think here in Texas it's three times trying to fix the same issue. Hope you all the paper work that has been done to the car.

My wife had a crappy Dodge Neon bought back under lemon law without a lawyer. It was a pain but if your in the right and you bug the xhit out of them
you may have a chance small as it may be.

Your best bet is to speak with the lawyer you are considering as they should have experience with the Lemon Law in your state, and also with Nissan Lemon Law cases in your state.

Agree 100%. I had to use Lemon Law in Cali on my 2005 BMW 330ci. I got nowhere with BMWUSA/my dealer after 40 days in the shop.

In Cali, the manufacturer pays the attorney. In the end, I got all my payments returned to me, down payment, etc. and they took some money back for miles.

It was a *very* smooth and fast process for me once I contacted a Lemon Law attorney, and it cost me nothing.

Good luck!
