What is the name of your state? Oklahoma
Last year, May 2003, we bought a new Dodge Quad Cab. Almost a year to the day, at just under 25000 miles, the truck started stalling and dying, then the engine malfunction light came on. We took it in to the dealership and they replaced the heads on it.
A couple of months later, at 27045, it was again in the shop for the exact same problem. We just got this vehicle out of the shop on July 21st with a mileage of 27090. Last night, August 1, at 27470 miles again the engine stalled out and died.
The dealership that has been doing the repairs, and we bought the truck from, had asked the manufacturer to replace engine both times and they refused saying that there is nothing wrong with it. The last time we took it in there were at least four other vehicles, same make and model, in there for the exact same problem. Also, come to find out, the parts that the manufacturer is sending are the wrong size parts.
I have written to the manufacturer many times asking them to do something and their response is that what they are doing is correct and that the truck is repaired and running, which it is not. I told them that the day I got it out of the shop the last time it wasn't running right.
The dealership mentioned that this truck will never run correctly and it will just keep going through heads until they can get a new engine in it. They also told my husband (under the table of course) that he needed to get in contact with the manufacturer and have them buy back this truck as they refuse to allow them to correctly fix it.
Does it qualify for the lemon law in Oklahoma? Tomorrow will only be the third time for it to go in for this problem, and we are 15 days shy of having the 45 day limit on it. Are there any other circumstances in which those two things don't apply?
