does not accelerate while entering and or exiting a major highway. I have taken it in twice now to 2 different dealers/service depts and they tell me nothing is wrong. However, when my car is slowing down to 15 mph on a 65 mph highway, I classify that as something wrong. Does anyone know if they problem must be identified by the same dealer/service dept three times to be considered a lemon. I know I must have it in three times and under 12,000 miles, but do I have to be consistent with the same service dept and does the problem need to be indentified?
Thank you

yes take it back daily for 3 days. After that if they dont wanna deal with you , call the MFG'S CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER also some MFGS have lemon law info in their owners manuals.

You may not have a lemon. It sounds like they just haven't been able to identify the problem. Have you taken the service tech for a ride to point out the problem? I think a lemon is going to be where they have identified a problem but can't fix it. In your case, they have not acknowledged that a problem exists. "Lemon laws" vary from state to state. Each state will have its own fine print that you will need to understand. The link provided below should give you a better idea as to what the federal and state laws are.

Try a different strategy. Tell the dealership that you want them to road test the vehicle and demand a free loaner car. If they still don't find a problem then take it on a road test with them. If that STILL doesn't resolve it then do the same thing at a different dealership. Your vehicle must be under warranty so take advantage of it. Document everything because it will be tough to make a dealership take back the car and refund/exchange it.

Sucks which you skipped over residing in that nanny state properly-called Masacusetts, because of the fact they're somewhat undesirable whilst it includes used autos. I haven't any thought what make/form your "2004 sedan" (that may no longer important documents...:/)is, yet that O2 sensor code probably is by technique of the O2 sensor choosing up a defective engine difficulty of a few variety extremely than the often assumed "Oh, basically replace the sensor" rubbish that gets around. So, you have responded maximum of your questions. basically pray that may no longer a $1050 restoration you're up against. Odds of the customer proving any risk-free practices difficulty being skipped over is narrow to none. till you skipped over that, too.

your part right you have to have three major components broken or faulty , take it to the place you bought it and have them drive it for a period of time they should find the problem and a good company will give you a service loner
