The #1 Myth

It is not necessary to have a certain number of repairs within the first year or first 18,000 miles, no matter what you may have heard.

Four or more repairs for the same problem, or 30 days out of service for any combination of problems within the first 18 months or 18,000 miles may create a presumption that the car is a lemon. Most cars qualify under the Lemon Law because of repairs made after the first year and after the first 18,000 miles.
