I leased a brand new Saturn Ion less than 3 months ago. A month after I got it, the coolant light started coming on, so I brought it into the dealer. He laughed at me and said, "all you have to do is put coolant in it, honey." I brushed it off, I'm used to mechanics treating me like crap because I'm a young good-looking woman. But I still felt like I shouldn't have to be putting coolant in a month-old car.
Of course, the light came back on again, so I brought it in again. Turns out the tank was empty and leaking coolant into the engine, and now the engine's shot. On top of that, they've had it for 3 days and can't find the leak.
Some friends of mine have told me I'm entitled to get a brand new car because I got a lemon, and if they try to give me that car back I should b*tch and moan about it. I don't think I should get a brand new car as long as they can fix the problem. I would appreciate some advice on how to handle the situation, I don't want to be taken advantage of.
