Which state is the "best" really doesn't matter. Some states don't even HAVE a "lemon law". It sounds to me as though you have a bit of a problem on your hands and I recommend you see an Attorney. If you purchased the vehicle in YOUR state then that is the ONLY state in which you can bring suit, generally speaking. If you purchased the vehicle in a different state you MAY be able to bring suit in your state and you CERTAINLY can bring suit in the state you bought the vehicle in. See an attorney to find out exactly what your options are and if you are protected by a "lemon law". If you are in Alabama, there is no lemon law! Also, please note that Attorney's Fees are not recoverable in all actions! This is a matter of your state's Statutes. It is very unlikely that you would be able to recover all of your fees anyway (nearly 95% of all who are awarded Attorney's Fees in court STILL HAVE TO PAY something).

I don't know which state offers the best protection, but if you are asking for personal reasons, you are limited to which state's law you can use. You can only use the law in the state where you live or where you bought the "lemon." It would be best to retain an attorney for your case as you are not as likely to be aware of the remedies available to you, or that you are entitled to receive. If you are going against a manufacturer, it will be a large corporation that is used to getting thousands of claims like yours and will do its best to convince you to accept a lot less than you deserve. (I know of one corporation that would offer to "buy back" the item, but in such a way that it would cost you thousands of dollars. Most lay people would not realize their trick, but a lawyer would.) In a lot of states, the lemon law requires the defendant (person you sue) to pay for your attorney. Check with your state's bar association.
