Hi everyone,
I need some assistance with lemon law and it's qualifications. I want to stress this is not for my Explorer Sport-- it's still wonderful and I love it!!!!
I have a F-250 diesel (2013). Purchased for mom to haul our horses, hay, etc. we had it for a year now and 12K miles. In January it began sporadic knocking, etc and never throwing a check engine light. I was told bad gas. In April it went in again, they performed a costly TSB which includes replacing all exhaust. September it went back, no problem found. It went back again in September where a black box was inserted. My mom received the call stating they would service it. (Yes I will call to gain more details).
The issue, she refuses to drive it! She is terrified of it leaving her on the side of the road, and she isn't familiar with anything outside of Gilbert. I ordered a 2015 F150 for her to replace diesel. We are expecting in November. Now how long (typically) does it take to lemon law this thing? I can loan her my truck, but the diesel is trade to the new one on order (deal will cost me taxes). So is this worth pursuing? Per Arizona laws I have fulfilled the 4 visits. I'm calling a dealer today to pick their brains on the issue-it's not geographically desireable.
I am not versed in this area and need some assistance to the members with guidance here. The diesel was dropped off for service so I am not in possession of it till later today. The one item known, is my dealer is aware I'm beyond angry for a 65K truck that knocks and stutters at 45mph unless you punch the gas. It regens as it should, I have tried everything....help!
