        I have a 2012 Hyundai Sonata that is making a clicking noise from the back. Sounds a lot like the case above, “2011 Honda Accord, clicking noise in rear from being welded improperly, replacement vehicle under Massachusetts Lemon Law plus attorney fees. Can I get some more information on this case, and maybe others like it. Thanks.

          Each claim is different. I would suggest that you reach out to a lemon law attorney in your state (www.lemonlaw.com/lemon-law-firm.html) and discuss the facts of your situation with them.

            I own a 1997 jeep grand cherokee with only 68,000 miles. I was told that most if not all jeeps made in this year have developed cracked manifolds like mine now has. Jeep had to redesign the manifold system.
            1) Can you help me get this fixed at no charge since this seems like a lemon that was proven already? 2) Should this have been a recall or is it a recall item?

            • #6 Lawrence Fenimore says:

              My son own a 2003 PT Cruiser and it has very low miles and the turbo blew out. I heard this was a common defect from his mechanic. Is their any recalll or any lemon law that can help my son? He was told it would cost $1,500 and he is a recent college graduate, with college debt up to his ears, who now lives in Florida for the past 4 years. He bought the car from his maternal grandmother’s estate in Pennsylvania. He desperately needs a car to get to his first job, which pays not much.
              Please help us.

                Lawrence: Unfortunately, due to the age, this car would not fall under the Lemon Law but I would contact your state attorney general’s office to see if there are used car statutes which may apply.

                  hi,

                  i recently brought a brand new toyota highlander 2012 hybrid paid over $46K. but it’s been less than 3 months and not even 1500 mileage but i had to call road side assistance 3 time already because the battery went dead.

                  i went to service but the guy told me my battery is fine and refused to replace. now i dont want this car. what a piece of shit? i have two kids and a busy job, reason why i paid so much money for this toyota car because i thought it’s reliable but this one is not. can i get the car returned with full refund?

                        I purchased a 2002 Hyundai stanta fe four days ago. “As is” from a dealer. The ac compressor went out. Is the seller responsible for repairs??

                        • #12 LemonLaw says:

                          @Betty: if it was sold “as is,” most likely no. Contact your state attorney general’s office to find out if there are any implied warranties with used cars sold in your state.
