I bough the car at a used car lot it had 24000miles,pre owned certifiewarrenty and extended gold warenty from a compine throught the carlot. the other day oil came out of the bottom of the car (not a hole from damage to the oil tank). I took it to an authorized dealership/service for doge, it is covered under factory warranty up to 36000 miles it has 27211 on it now. The dealership told me that the camshaft had play in it and broke it so the engine needs to be replaced. the new one will not be their till Tuesday or Wednesday. The rent a car that the dealership told me to pick up, needs to be back on Monday??? That’s a whole other thing.. Dos the same problem needs to brake 3 times in order to do lemon law? Also will my new motor warranty start over or do I only get the difference in miles to the 36000..is the new engine warranty under mopo 2 year or 25000 miles what do you think???

I'm not doge (or even Dodge) man, but I will give you your answer. Lemon laws do not cover used vehicles. Lemon laws cover only new vehicles, and the laws vary by state, but generally you have to give the dealer the opportunity to fix the problem 3 to 5 times, and it has to be the same problem that they were not able to fix.
As to your third party warranty, read the contract you were given when you bought it. They may cover part or all of your expenses, but that has nothing to do with the lemon law.

Agreed, lemon laws apply only to new vehicles and not to used vehicles. As far as the rental car, I'd call the dealership and make sure they were covering the rental until the repairs are complete and your car is ready.
