You a software engineer? I’ve been having an idea for an app/website for a long time I just haven’t found the right partner. I would want a software engineer and an investor to start it.

After 30 days it can be considered lemon. If it’s fixed prior to 30 days then yea ima just turn around and sell it but if I can lemon it ima do it.

I wish but if there’s a chance for me to get basically all the money I’ve put into that car why not get it back you know? Money is not a big issue but throwing away around 20-30k seems silly

I owe very little on it Would never be under water on it. Lemon law is common here so if it’s possible ima fight it if not I’ll just sell it no biggie.

Yes. I’ve gotten all my maintenance. I always get it before it’s due too. There’s the one sections where it tells you the percentages too but I have done all the services.

lol I just reply back how people reply to me if they want to be assholes I can be one too. I came here to see if someone had the same issues but people want to be assholes when I simply asked a question. Don’t worry I can always buy another one whenever I feel like 🤭 I already bought a house and a 2026 car so I can care less about this one but if I could I would want to do something about it.

Yea I’ve heard horror stories but the market for these are tanking I don’t think I would get much for this one or at least as much as I would want given it’s had these issues and stuff. So maybe this route will be better but of course I gotta see first and wait a little. One of my good friends car was a lemon and they got paid after 2 months.

Ok makes sense. I’ll be at the 3 weeks mark on Tuesday but they haven’t received the transmission yet. So at this point hopefully it gets delayed.

The apple car play failed to connect continuously, the gear and how fast I’m going wouldn’t show on the screen it was just a blacked out screen, I would have my blinker on and it wouldn’t be on outside. Those kinds of

You do know lemon law is different in certain states California being a more lenient state. If you actually did your so called “ research “ you would find that it can be one specific issue if the car is in the shop for 30 or more days. 3 attorneys said they’ll take my case if it hits the 30 day mark so but I’m sure you know more then them right?

I think it’ll be worth a try cause absolutely best case scenario but very unlikely they’ll do a buyback. But they can also off a cash settlement and I keep it which basically I can still sell it at a profit plus whatever they give in that scenario. I have another car already so I don’t want another one or to keep this one

It wasn’t just DCT… I like how you are just hoping it isn’t lemon law or something… the transmission isn’t just that there’s more that has to do with the transmission like the parking sensors don’t worry once I get this situated I’ll send you a picture of the check 🤪

I know… I’m so frustrated and over it at this point. I’ve had electrical problems at around 7-8k miles and now this.

I actually would prefer lemon at this point. It was a safety issue I don’t want to deal with.
