Lemon Law is worthless. I went after it. In order to get another truck, you
would have to GIVE them your truck, then pay tax tags and title all over
again, plus add .30 for every mile on your truck. Then wants you pay all
that they will give you a truck at "manufacturer price". But you never get
your trade in, or money down back, you don't get back the money you already
paid in payments. I did however get a 100,000 mile warranty for free which
comes with a $100 deductable. Good luck, and keep me posted on whats going
on.
Oh, and I'm not sure how your lemon laws work, but for Maryland you had to
be under 15,000 miles and had the truck in the shop 4 times for the same
problem.
