How do you lemon law a 2007 6.7 truck??

[Whiteranch04]

Has anybody gone thru the process and lemon lawed a 2007 dodge 4x4 with the 6. 7 cummins, how did you start the process and how did it end up??? I sure saw a lot of 2007 and 2008 very low low milage Dodge Trucks with 6. 7 sitting in the used truck lot and they smelled like lemon law trucks to me, what do they do with lemon law trucks when they take them back in, do dealers get to buy them at a dodge dealer auction??? I was going to lemon law mine over all the problems the motor has had but I am not sure what exactly the law states and how to start the process, I dont want a lawyer right now but i might as I get into it?

In the interest of getting rid of you and your continual whining I'm going to offer this information.

Open your owner's manual and read it. Or, if you can't read it well enough to understand, go visit or call the nearest dealer and ask them to provide the info. Or go online to the Consumer Affairs Division of the Texas Attorney General's Office or call their toll free number.

I genuinely hope you are immediately successful. Please buy a GM or Furd or Hyundai, anything but a Dodge.

The cars and trucks get repaired and resold at auction with full disclosure to the customer that it was a lemon. Chrysler also provides a one year unlimited mile warranty. I have tracked a couple of vehicles and it is interesting that most never return to the dealer for repairs.

Thats interesting, makes you wonder who was a fault, did the dealer simply fail to fix it or if the car was really a lemon.

 

[HBarlow]

In most cases there is some correlation to owners. Sick. Ohh Fords, of course, were and exception. Their engines were junk and no owner who actually used one for heavy work could keep one together.

I had a friend who was and still is a Chevy loyalist who Lemon-Lawed a new 1990 Chevrolet Suburban. Actually, he took the case to an arbitration board and won. Folowing the board's decision a local Chevy dealer called and offered him a replacement 1992 Suburban with more options for his 1990 and he accepted.

He is intelligent and fundamentally an honest and principled man but freely admitted that the primary reason for the return of the Suburban was if it sat for several days the battery ran down and it wouldn't start. He also admitted that he had installed an aftermarket alarm system that was involved.

A local attorney bought the returned Suburban and used it successfully for years.

A truck or car are nothing more than a machine, a commodity assembled from identical components off a shelf. When the brand is generally reliable like a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram and only a small number are troublesome there is usually some degree of owner involvement or, perhaps the vehicle is not ideally suited to the owner's driving style or regular usage.

Once in a while one is assembled with a bad component or two that is challenging to diagnose and repair but in most cases I think the repeat problems are tied to the owner's mode of operation.

HBARLOW Sometimes people get so fed up with problems that they can't see the logical solution to their situation, however a smart *** answer isn't the reply the were asking for. The TDR is for helping, not chastizing. MOE

 

[HBarlow]

Moe, if you'd like to help him, feel free to do so. I'm tired of reading his continual whining and harsh criticism of a product I know personally to be a good one.

I did help him. I offered suggestions for how he can initiate the process to let Dodge decide if he has valid problems or not. My hope is that he will go away and become a Furd or GM owner so I won't have to read his complaints.

I wonder how meny FORDS was taken back by the lemon law 88 recalls on the 6L.

Atleast they did the recalls. Dodge has had PLENTY of problems that should have been recalls.

I had a chevy 4. 3 gas 1500 truck back in 93, I bought it new, returned it within a week to the dealer service dept. I never got that one back. After they had it for several weeks, I started to research the state's lemon laws and informed the dealer that I wanted another one. They tried to give me one off their lot, but they had none like the original one I bought. They ended up dealer trading a corvette for the truck that I wanted and that was all I had to do. I was 22 years old at the time and did not have to get a lawyer involved. Truth is at that age I could never have afforded one.

Lift pump on the 24V trucks, it was recalled in ambulance and school bus applications, but now ours.

 

[Austin Diesel]

Lemon law

doesnt it have to go for 3 like same repairs in a 1 year period to qualify in texas ?





and show no signs of abuse or damage they have lawyers that specialize in the exact issue . my sales guy in la grange tx has done half a dozen returns and he says it is a issue that he enjoys as it usually brings another vehicle through his dealership in the form of a sales transaction, and a much happier customer that will return. he has sold trucks and cars his entire life and i had recomended that white ranch call long ago to make the call /oviedo dodge ask for pat.



are the 10s on the lots yet ? :-laf

 

[KEpperly]

In new jersey it has to be under 2 years after purchase and under 18,000 miles. In new jersey the car manufactuer foots the lawer bill.

I haven't experienced any of them in an '01, '06, or '08 in over 600k miles of use including close to 300k towing miles.

 

[Bob4x4]

Whiteranch appears to be a whiner who has abused and not maintaind his truck and looking to stir it up:-laf

 

[HBarlow]

I agree. Or perhaps a Furd owner who is just here to stir up trouble criticizing our trucks.

and seat to start with!!!!!!!!!!!!!

recalls are for safety issues



the blend door and seat are not safety issues and the wheel bearings are argueable.
