had my lemon law hearing today

[13Sport]

I've never read that it was number of miles at first incident. Just number of miles.


Edit, I am correct.

can you link to that article?

Did you check that w/ the arbitrator?

"The arbitrator may or may not award a mileage deduction for the use that you have had of the vehicle."

In CA once the problem was reported, that's where the use ends, since you are no longer using a vehicle in the condition you purchased it in. it also says "MAY" award a mileage deduction.... if you have spent the majority of the time w/out the vehicle in a usable state, I doubt any such deduction would be awarded.

I have had two cars repurchased via lemon law in the past 4 years. One used the mileage equation you posted, but with the mileage being the mileage at the time the problem was first reported. The other was a cash settlement that ignored mileage offset altogether.

At any rate, I wish you the best of luck. I really do hope they replace your car with a 2013. If they rule in favor of Ford, PM me, I can give you some advice on how to approach it differently.

If I lose on this level, I may file a new complaint about a paint defect that I have on the rear drivers door. Except I am over the mileage so I may not be able to.

If I lose I will probably just trade it in for an Acadia Denali, if I can still find one.

Two cars lemoned in 4 years? Ouch! You must have an automotive gray cloud hanging over your head. We have a friend who hasn't had the best luck lately, and he is getting really tired of crappy cars.

One was the '11 Explorer XLT... I'm reinvesting in Ford, I'm hoping they don't let me down w/ the Sport.
