    When is a Car a Lemon?
    1. Recurring problem not fixed after three attempts
    2. Out of service for repair for 30 cumulative days
    Florida Lemon Laws
    You would be surprised how many cars are lemons. The Attorney General of Florida lists each and every vehicle that has been declared a lemon and bought back or replaced by the manufacturer.

    The Florida lemon laws cover a car for the first 24 months. There are two basic reasons a car is deemed a lemon - recurring problems and time out of service (in the shop).

    Yep, back to front wheel burn outs. Reminds me of my 07' Yaris :rolleyes: I hate how front wheel drive cars/ trucks get all squirmy when laying rubber.

    If all they need to do is re-torque them yes you keep truck. If it needs a new gasket. They keep truck.
