RE: 2006 Dodge Dakota -- Tranny Died -- 2k miles
The "Lemon Law" is about the same reoccurring probelm not being fixed
If you have to keep taking it to the dealer for the same thing & it breaks again or isn't fixed properly (I believe it's 4 times in a certain amount of time), then it could be a Lemon
It's not considered a Lemon if the tranny fails once in 2 months.
Here's what Michigan law says:
"The consumer may invoke the Lemon Law if:
1. The new motor vehicle has been subject to repair a total of 4 or more times within 2 years of the date of the first attempt to repair the defect or condition, or
2. The new motor vehicle is out of service because of repairs for a total of 30 or more days during the manufacturer’s warranty period or the first year, whichever is earlier"
AND
"Is there a time period within which the initial attempted repair must occur?
Yes. The buyer or lessee must have done the initial repair during the first year of delivery. The remaining three repairs, for the same defect, must occur within two years from the initial repair attempt. Alternatively, the vehicle must be out of service for repair for 30 or more days during the term of the manufacturer’s express warranty or within 1 year of delivery, whichever is earlier."
