In AZ, this is my best argument. Look at CA law. They must have a consumer law that would apply to this type of non-conformity.
ARIZONA’S LEMON LAW
-
two years or 24,000 miles, whichever is earlier
- a
problem with the car that substantially impairs the use and value
- fails to successfully repair the defect
after four attempts, or...
-
out of service by reason of repair for a cumulative total of
30 or more calendar days
CALIFORNIA’S LEMON LAW
- the lessee or buyer is completely free to choose whether to accept a replacement or a refund
- Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act applies to your warranty period
(3 years, 36,000 miles on LEAF in USA)
- does not apply if the problem was caused by abuse; follow the terms of the warranty for maintenance and use
-
reasonable number of repair attempts for problems that substantially
impair the use, value, or safety of the vehicle
- during the first 18 months / 18,000 miles "Lemon Law" presumes
four or more repair attempts, or.....
- vehicle is
out of service of more than 30 days since delivery of the vehicle
TEXAS' LEMON LAW
- $35 filing fee is charged for complaints about new vehicles
- Case Advisor to determine whether it meets the jurisdictional requirements of the law
- Administrative Law Ruling
- if unresolved, the State Office of Administrative Hearings (SOAH) has hearing(s)
- consumers must prove to the Administrative Law Judge that their vehicle is a lemon
- manufacturers also have the right to appear and present evidence and argument to the contrary
FLORIDA'S' LEMON LAW
- consumer has an unconditional right to choose a refund rather than a replacement motor vehicle
- "Lemon Law Rights Period" is the first 24 months
- recurring problem not fixed after three attempts, or....
- out of service for repair for 30 cumulative days
- you must complete a specific form provided on the
Florida Secretary of State website
- you must submit your information to the proper arbitrator
