Anyone anywhere used the Lemon law and received their money back or a replacement vehicle?

Some have but it`s a long and drawn out process.
Does your vehicle qualify?

I did one on my VW a couple years back in California. Quick and easy process - as long as you meet the criteria.

Not quick with ford....I requested buyback November of 2017. They denied it several times before agreeing in July. I got my replacement vehicle on November 29th 2018.

LOL......If your VW fell under the buy back court ruling because of the diesel cheating, I can see why it was a quick and easy process for you.

I would say your time frame is about the norm for most people give or take a couple of months.

If you qualify under your state's LL, then file. That's the fastest way. If you meet the criteria, they'll get it done. if not, you shouldn't file until you do. I use to represent an auto manufacturer in LL cases. I lost only one case in arbitration over several years. Why was I so good? BC those that we knew we couldn't win were bought back before arbitration. The one I lost was when the arbitrator felt that brake squeal from metallic brakes was a safety issue, which, of course, it is not. Many times, when I knew someone was upside down on a vehicle and had high mileage on it, I'd just offer them state mandated buyback terms b/c I knew they couldn't afford it. If you're upside down and have high mileage, then LL is not a good idea in most cases.
