I had a Grand Cherokee that almost qualified for the lemon laws and I investigated the process. It's lengthy and difficult, just like the MM thread says about the bad engine rebuilds. My B-in-law did return a Ford truck to the dealer, but he pressured the dealer directly. A lot sooner after the sale than your case. They gave him another truck and he paid only for the difference in upgrades. Not a bad deal even if they made a grand on the upgrades because he got full sales credit for a "used" vehicle.

His problem related to the trans. The block turned out to not be square to the trans. Seals for him too, IIRC. He is kind of a know-it-all, but he works in Laguna Niguel at a body shop if you want to talk to him. Being around cars all the time and their problems, he might have some insight. PM me.

I can tell you this is certainly a case of the squeaky wheel gets the grease. You're gonna have to work pretty hard to return that truck, me thinks. I don't know if 45 days in this amount of time will get it. Sad to think, but likely true. That's why I drive a 16 YO truck. I know what I have and it works. I could never buy a new car or truck. Maybe a GT3 if I had the money, but the rest are better bought used with the paper work to see what the pedigree is.
