Taking it to a mechanic to diagnose the problems would be my first choice. Second would then be to pay the mechanic to fix said issues (assuming you still want to drive the car).

From http://www.state.tn.us/consumer/lemon.shtml:

Your car does not qualify as a "lemon".


Enjoy your "new" car!

Usually to qualify as a lemon, you have to take it back to the dealer and they have to attempt to fix it several times within so many business or calendar days. It doesn't sound like if falls under the lemon law if there are different problems everyday, but if you have a warranty, then use that to its full extent.

Did you buy it from a dealer? if so, did you buy it as is??? Nice people dealer? they wont want it to get around that they sold you a piece of crap.

Have you given the dealer a chance to make it right?

If you bought it from a private person, then the fun begins
