What is the Lemon law in dealing with cars?

Question

I have a 2003 Ford Focus (in Texas if that's any different) who's been into the dealership on two different occasions for transmission problems, and now it looks as if it's going to need to go in again (not even a month after it's last visit either). I do have an extended warranty that is lasting me til 2009 (or 75,000 miles, but I'm only approaching 50,000), and they have indeed honored it to specifications.

However, my dad told me that the Lemon law is basically three strikes and they replace my car for me, obviously (and unfortunately) it's probably nearing it's third strike. I was just wondering the specifics of the Lemon law, what it takes to meet the requirements, what they do with the car, what kind of car they'd give me etc. etc. If someone could point me to a consice website (or let me know a good bit!) that can give me some info on it that would be wonderful. I really don't want to let go of my car...

Answer 1

Your lemon law has expired. You need to seek remedies under your manufacturer's warranty.

Answer 2

I am in the car biss.... there is NO lemon law on used cars.  Only on new cars and that is only going threw the manufacture.  You just need to let the dealership work with you on replacing the transmission.  That's why they have extended warranty's.  I hope this is helpful, if not let me know.
