How do i return a car that i just bought 4 weeks ago that has now got 31 faults. Garage just wants to repair?

Answer 1

well you might be stuck with the car unless the manager would be willing to offer you another car of equal value, or if you take the car back to where you bought it to be repaired for one paticular problem and they still have not been able to fix the one problem, then that incorporates the lemon law, which he will be ordered by the court to refund all monies, but if your like me and your starting to get really pissed, then get a hand held sign and walk in front of the entrance of the car lot for as long as it takes for him to make it right with you. Think about it, would you even consider pulling into or even getting out to look at this car lot if you saw a unsatisfied customer picketing his place? Would you wonder why the dealership is not handling issues with their products, customers, etc., .

Answer 2

It is very difficult to return a new vehicle and expect another new one. The garage is within its rights to repair the vehicle, generally under warranty. 31 faults on a new car is very unusual. If its a second hand car it must be in a roadworthy standard, but not much else.

Answer 3

If it was a used car did you buy it as is? If so your sunk. Not fair. I bought a car new that had a lot of problems but not enough for a lemon law and the dealer started giving me a hard time when I came in.(being a single women I was to be a push over). I got so angry with them I threatened to have my care lettered with a list of problem and where i bought it. As I worked for a sign company and they knew I could do it they decided to take care of things. In the end ford made them replace my engine just 6 miles after the warranty ended as I kept records of every time I took it in. Anyone could get there car lettered at a sign co. as the letters are vinyl . cost of letters differ according to size. You can remove them with a hair dryer when you are ready to have sign removed

Answer 4

If its a new car reject it,tell them you have lost faith in the vehicle do not let them fob you off with promises of repairs ,do not let them carry out repairs,also contact trading standards ,they may have history on this garage.When you have got backing from trading standards or citizens advise,send a letter to the Managing Director do not deal with the muppets on the service/sales desk,go straight to the top.I did this with a new Citroen+got car replaced with a new vehicle+a large apology,good luck.

Answer 5

In the UK, the law says you should give them the opportunity to repair it. If they fail to do so within a "satisfactory" period of time (there can be all sorts of legal arguments about what "satisfactory" means), then you can reject it under the terms of the Sale of Goods Act.

If you need legal advice, contact your local Citizens Advice Bureau.

Answer 6

If it's new, then find out about the lemon law in your state. Call the Chamber of Commerce, Attorney General's office, or the BBB.

What year and model????

Answer 7

you have to let them offer to do teh repairs... (for free) ALL CARS UNLESS NEW are caveat emptor. buyer beware.

if teh cars such a bag of nails, get them to fix it and flog it on eBay. and dont buy another...

and take them to trading standards, dodgy unsafe cars..they love em, and the dodgy characters who are selling them. if the car is in a dangerous condition phone the police...

rust and corrosion is only allowable after 3 months...

Answer 8

If you have a new car you may use the lemon law to return it .But if it is used,it will depend on what state you are in, also read your buyers gide if you bought this from a dealer. you may have to go to cort to retun it.

Answer 9

Go and see your local trading standards office, tell them what has happened and they will soon be able to help you with your consumer rights.

Answer 10

You need to see whether your State has a Lemon Law....
