You should definitely google the "lemon law" for your state and exchange this car as soon as possible, if eligible. Do not delay. A car that starts its life so bad can only be bad news down the road. Good luck. Keep us posted.

 

I went to the dealer today at one o'clock.

my dad's friend was not there yet so I just walk to the service and ask them about the condition of my car. The lady check the database and then said that she couldn't find my car.
I was kind of surprise but then she go ask some other guy about that car and told me to sit and wait. Another guy then come talk to me and said something like we don't have your car in the database, and we cannot find it on the lot either, we lost it. I freaked out so bad. 5 minutes later my dad's friend which is a sale manager i believe came in, he drive me around the lot to find the car and surprisingly, it was not there. So, he told me to call the bmw to ask what happen. Bmw said that the toll company still have the car, it should be there about 30 minutes or something. I think my dad's friend was kind of mad since they should not keep the car overnight. Then, he told me to go take a rest and he will call me later tonight and also tell me to get all the documents and videos handy, we may need them for lemon law. At about 6 o'clock, the service call me that the car has another fuel pump failure and another engine problem, I'm not sure what it was. After that call, I call my dad's friend and ask for a loaner so me and my dad went to the dealer again at 8 o'clock to get a loaner. We were chatting a little bit since we kind of agree that we need an exchange not just fixing this and that. So,,, we plan on meeting again on wednesday while pick up the car and call the BMW and talk to them about all the issues. Hopefully they let me change the car...

 

You don't mention your state of residence but in NY the Lemon Law is for repeat problems with the same issue or amount of days out of service. Also its for cars for pleasure not business, if you write-off your car on your tax return you can't use the lemon law. Check the rules in your state.

 

sorry to hear about you car,,i know that after the 4th time that you actually still having problems with your car its already a lemon, i asked a lawyer before and that's what he told me (multiple problems with your car is under the lemon law), if they won't give you a new unit which they should since you got your car new, best thing to do is ask a lawyer, google it anyway they have free consultation, most of them are, and also call BMWNA which i think you already did coz they keep a record on whats what with your car and they should help you out with it, sometimes they also compensate you ask your SA about it, they will give you a "good will" in terms of "cash" most of the time.
they actually gave me a check for $1100 coz it took them a month to fix my car
good luck and keep us posted

 

that really sucks man i hope everything goes well and you get another beauty

 

The situation blows man...hope everything works out in your favor

 

Sorry to hear that but if you are in california I have the lawyer that will get you out of this Lemon. I used him twice and best part is NO RECOVERY= NO FEE. Let me know if you want his info or if any one else hear in Ca and think he got a lemon. Best of luck bud.

 

Sorry for not mentioning the state, I'm in Bakersfield, CA

Big-Moe, I'll let you know if i need a lawyer, thanks anyways

I'll see how it goes tomorrow when me and the sales manager call BMW.

As for tax deduction, my parents didn't use the car for that. I just hope that they'll buy it back nicely rather than going through all the lemon law...

 

Just in case the call doesn't go as expected, make sure you have all the paperwork from each time it was repaired and review CA lemon law. I'm sure BMW will want to buy it back versus having it labeled as a lemon. Good luck.

 

I agree BMW should agree for taking it back, however there was a few members in the other forum that contacted BMW NA directly and they took their vehicles back. As of the CA lemon law if your car has been to the dealer for the same issue or different issue in a short period of time and more than 3 times that is considered lemon. Good luck man and keep us posted.
