I had a 99 Dodge ram quad cab. At 35,000 miles, it blew a head gasket and had to be towed to the dealer. Over the next 6 to 8 months, it broke down multiple times, leaving me stranded. It was in the shop 45 days total in that time period. I went the lemon law route, and the arbitrator/association, to rule on the request, said it was not a maintenance issue or a safety issue. Thus, he ruled against me. When the lemon law arbitrator/association, is funded by the dealers, it’s no wonder he ruled against me.

I immediately went to a lawyer, gave him all of my paperwork and receipts. He sent a letter to Dodge, with copies of my receipts and notes, demanding them to take possession of the truck and pay for all attorneys fees*. They agreed and I gave the truck back.

* I forget the name of the act that he cited, but it was something like Magnuson-Moss act, which states something along the lines of the item in question, should function as designed.
