Has anyone else had to have the entire head replaced? I smell recall.

I asked about the Lemon Law as well. I was told (I consulted a lawyer) that it in order for it to qualify- the head would've had to have been replaced 3 times in the same calendar year. I purchased my H3 on 4/17/06 so all the problems would've had to have been fixed by 4/17/07 in order to qualify. Pretty stupid if you ask me. I purchased a new car so I wouldn't be in the shop every damn week....guess that was pretty useless.

I am not totally clear on the lemon laws but i have looked into them a little a while back. In illinois if you vehicle is in for the same repair 3 times you qualify, i dont think the time limit is 1 year. also if it spends more than 30 days in service it qualifies. Another one is if you can proove that you have lost confidence in your vehicle's reliabilty. Just having the history of repairs is enough proof that you vehicle can break down at any time, on vacation on the highway whatever. Also, doesnt the head problem lower you gas milage, if it does that can be grounds for compensation of some sort.

If i was you I would look into the lemon laws a little more with a better lawyer if nesesary.

good luck.

Ohio Lemon law is 12 mos or 18k miles. Whichever comes first. Unfortunately I've exceeded both. I have talked to an attorney and he's gonna see what he can do for us.
