When did all this take place ? The MA Lemon Law states: "Vehicles Covered By The Lemon Law: Any new car, motorcycle, van or truck bought in Massachusetts from a new-car dealer for personal or family purposes is covered by the Lemon Law for the "term of protection" of one year or 15,000 miles of use from the date of original delivery, whichever comes first. The law also covers vehicles that are resold during the one year or 15,000-mile term-of-protection, and new vehicles leased after July 1, 1997." It goes on to say the the final repair attempt CAN take place AFTER the 1 year or 15K miles: "Final Repair Attempt: If the substantial defect continues or recurs after the manufacturer or authorized dealer has made a reasonable number of repair attempts to repair the defect, you must give the manufacturer (not the dealer) one final repair opportunity, not to exceed seven business days, to fix the defect. This seven-day period begins when the manufacturer knows or should know that 3 repair attempts or 15 business days out of service limits have been met or exceeded. This is usually the date the manufacturer receives a final repair opportunity letter from you. ****You may notify the manufacturer of the final opportunity even after the one year or 15,000-mile term of protection ends.***** You should send notification of the final opportunity to repair by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the manufacturer’s regional office. (See sample below.) You may get this address from our on-line Automobile Manufacturer Address List. Notifying the manufacturer directly by mail and keeping copies of your letters is the best way to document that the manufacturer was provided a final repair opportunity." You may still be able to fight this.. I'd sure as heck try !
