Lemon LAW?
 

Anyone here ever have to deal with this law when the dealer can't find the
answer to a problem with my '02 Cherokee?I do have a file case number and
they will look at the Jeep Monday and make a decision on what to do.If they
decide to replace the vehicle will I have to pay anything?Please give your
input.

I haven't had any personal experience, but I once worked with a guy that had
to use the Lemon Law.

Not only did the auto maker take the car back, they paid the finance charges
that were tacked on to put the financing together, and they paid for some
level of "pain and suffering" or whatever it is called. The bottom line is,
my friend got out of the lemon and into a competitive product, and got a new
bundle of twenties to carry around. (A rather large bundle, as I recall.)

Some states have tighter lemon laws than others. Personally if
I were about to kick a manufacturer in the 'nards with a Lemon
Law dispute, I'd pay a lawyer a few bucks for some good advice
even if just a referall to a lawyer specializing in that type
of practice.

This is very bad advice. If DC is being forthcoming all he has to do is
check his State AGs website for specifics of the state's lemon law and
ensure they're living up to wat he's entitiled to.
In generl the mfr must either refund the purchase price or replace the car.
They can deduct for mileage, damage, etc.

Attorneys at lemon law firms are bottom-feeders who'll do nothing for owners
they can't do themselves. DC has no interest in losing a customer like this,
but the attorney will just charge a very large fee for sending a form
letter.
