Question by SoCalGal75: At what point can you take a new car back?
My husband just purchased a BRAND NEW 2007 Chevy Tahoe LTZ. Tomorrow will be the 3rd time it’s been back in the shop. We just purchased the truck December 3 2006. First, the “tire maintenance” light was on and we couldn’t get it to turn off. Second, the remote wouldn’t work to start the truck or open any of the doors we had to use the key. NOW it’s being taken back because of the problem with the remote AGAIN and we just noticed on our way back from vacation that a muffling noise is coming from somewhere inside the hood of the truck whenever my husband accelerates on the gas. We paid ALOT of money for this truck and I feel we got a lemon. What are our options? At what point do we tell the dealer that this is BS and we want a new car or our money back? At the price we paid, we shouldn’t be having to deal with ANY of these problems, at least not for a LONG while. And the Chevy dealer had the guts to down our 2005 Ford F150 which gave us NO problems whatsoever???? Give me a break! Help!!!
I’m in CA.
Thank you for the answers. I got in touch with a friend of ours who recently had a similar problem and were REFUNDED 100% of their money for a Lemon Law vehicle. I think I can take it from here.

When can you take it back? No point. When can you cancel? Before you sign a purchase agreement and take delivery.
If you’re thinking lemon law, it’s pretty specific. First it has to be the same problem that keeps bringing the vehicle back, which doesn’t seem to be the case for you. Even if it’s the same thing each time, you have to give the dealer opportunity to fix it (usually 3 times) before you can file a complaint under the lemon law.
Research the lemon law for your state to know your options.

Sorry, but you bought it and it’s yours, problems and all.
I know it’s frustrating, especially having to go to the dealer for repairs, but you’re stuck, pretty much.
If it makes you feel any better, I bought a pickup and it was constantly in the shop, blown head gaskets, electric wiring problems, you name it, it had to be fixed…they had to re-haul the engine even, but I’ve had that pickup 24 years and it still runs and has been problem free since that first miserable year!
Good luck….
yes look up the lemon law
I think you will need to have the vehicle in for the same problem a few times then just twice? Sorry.
