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...
Under the Texas Lemon Law according to the website given below: "Leased vehicles and vehicle converters are included, as are used vehicles if the manufacturer's warranty still applies."
So obviously, I still have the manufacturers EXTENDED warranty, but is that still covered by the Lemon law then? I have had other random problems with this car, and I just want it FIXED well, ya know? I don't really want to give up the car, but if it's still having problems, I'd like to have the replacement I'm due.
Oh and ps. I have had the transmission replaced the one time before, and this last time, I had a couple things within the transmission replaced, so really it SHOULD be working, but then again, I have no clue on how these things do work haha.
