How sad :(.......

Well it's official, my car is considered a lemon after the 10th time in service. The tech guy said they have tried everything and the original problem can not be fixed and more problems are arrising instead. I have had the car for 8 months now with only 3800 miles and did a number of mods. I am depressed but I am tired of taking it in and not having a car to drive all the time. My question is, does anyone know how the lemon law works? I already have a lawyer and GM have already reponded but now he is requesting a Release of Lien to be signed and I am not understanding what that is. If any can clarify it or help out that would be great! Just thought I'd share a pic too of the car after I washed it today :/...

^^ What he said. Sounds like Chevy is complying and it looks like they will be buying the car back from your bank. Just keep in touch with your lawyer.

Sorry to hear about that. Are you planning on getting another one. Even though you had the rotten luck of getting a lemon these are great cars and hopefully you'll get it replaced with a new one.

I lemon lawed my chevy truck yrs ago,I filled out the paperwork and I think it was $45 and sent it off, month later a gm rep flew in to check out my truck and found it was inexcusable of how the dealer took care of the problem, he then told me I could either go pick out a new truck or have another dealer fix the problem or give me my money back I told them I want my money back, so he asked if I had done anything aftermarket which I had done duel exhaust,window tint and wheels tires, so he asked for the total I told him it was $2600 and he said drive the truck and gm would call me in a few weeks, they called me after around 3 weeks told me to drop off the truck at the dealer and when I did they handed me a check for $2600 and took the keys.

I hope they will pay the full amount you paid and not just the balance due to the bank. In 2006 I had some problems with a Pontiac G6 GTP manual tranny...after fighting for 6 months GM agreed to swap the car for an automatic (just before going to a Lemon Law equivalent Court here in Canada). So I kept the same sales contract and they just changed the car identification. This way I did'nt loose any payment neither the interests I paid. And I got 6 additional warranty on my car since it's been put on the road after.

So if you don't want to loose money, I beleive that a SWAP is the best thing to do.

I also had to sign a waiver so I could'nt sue GM for collateral damages.

They pay you back the full amount you have out of pocket plus any interest you have paid, plus any paperwork fees that you have incured. They make you whole.
