Lemon Law--what does it take to declare?
-
Does anyone have any information about the lemon law and exactly what one would have to do/go through in order to declare their car a lemon? I have a brand new 2006 Jetta GLI, and after about a month of owning it, it stopped...dead. I had to have it towed to Denver and they said it was just the ignition relay, but I don't think that should be happening with a brand new car. Has anyone had experience with the "lemon law"?

Answer:
Again,bestwrencher has the correct answer but i would like to add to it a bit,this is important when dealing with lemon law claims. Each time you need to go back to the dealership for the same repair,be SURE the write it up exactly as it was previously,some dealerships change-up the wording on complaints making it difficult to make the lemon-law claim based on #number of complaints for the same issue. Ive seen this happin often while working in the dealership,it`s unfortunate but it does happin,proper documentation is a must.

Lemon law is for a problem that hasnt been repaired after asking more than three times....you have to have documented the problem 3 times and not had any satisfaction(save paperwork) if a dealer cant repair the same problem after three tries, then they may be obligated to buy vehicle back

not sure about colorado but in most states you have to have the same problem occur 3 or 4 times within a certain amount of time usually 12 and the problem can not be resolved... hope it doent happen again but electrical components are like light bulbs sometimes the just quit working could be eligible for reimbursement from the dealer if it is still under factory warranty

I think the lemon law varies state to state, so you might look up lemon laws for your specfic state (or a lot of times there is information concerning lemon laws in the warranty book).
