Does check engine light that accured for more that 10 times considered a lemmon car?

Question

A lawyer is handeling the case, but she said that a check engine light is not considered a major problem and suggested to take the settlement that the car dealership is offering us.

Answer 1

Lemon Laws vary by state in regards to new and/or used vehicles. It normally needs to be a safety issue. If there are no severe symptoms, and the dealer is offering you compensation, take it and run!

Answer 2

If you are compensating an attorney to handle your case, why are you not taking his advice?

I'm sure he has experts that have told him a check engine light is not considered a major problem (it isn't) so he passed that information along to you with recommendations.  And what do you do?  Ignore him and ask us.

Answer 3

It depends what the check engine light is for, get the error codes checked for free at a car parts store ( I think auto zone checks it for free, not 100% sure, call around) if it is a simple problem like a gas cap off, take the settlement, if it is something major then lemon laws may cover it.

Answer 4

Check engine light will come on if you leave your gas cap off. Listen to your lawyer.
