I really didn't want to goto open discussion with this...

Has anyone pursued lemon law before?

I kind of got overwhelmed with my benz and bought a new car, nissan versa. Researched it to death. Knew what I was getting into.

I found a 2014 with 12k miles. Got it for 11k flat, 12.2 out the door.

I put zero down, have made two payments so far, $440 total.

3 days after I got it, it started making some noise. Sounds like a partially collapsed lifter and/or injector. I took it in immediately.

First time in they said it was fine. I waited one week. Went to the used lot and started all the versas with 20k miles or more. No ticking.

They took my car again, and put a short block in! So no ones trying to rip me off, they are just that dumb.

Get it home, same noises.

I realized their incompetence, and drive it 2000k miles before the check engine light came on. I scanned it (and left the light on) and got a misfire on number 4.

I listened to the injector, and something isn't right with it. An inconsistent rattle when you let off from a higher rpm.

Ive also had a very alarming noise once when going uphill. About 2800 rpm. Sounds like valve train.

My theory is the bad injector scorched the cylinder. Eventually leading to rod failure. Which led to low oil pressure. Damaging a lifter. But who the hell knows.

So they called and said they can't figure out the misfire. They switched injectors around and couldn't get the light back on....

I asked them if they had the injectors tested. "Nissan doesn't do that"

I asked if they checked valve clearance and compression

"No we didnt check valve clearance"

Did you check compression?

"No we didn't do that either"

That was saturday. I told him I want them to buy the car back under lemon law. He said a manager would call me monday.

Its 4pm on monday, no one has called.

Im debating calling. I currently have a 2015 sentra on loan from them.

Since I got another car, I have taken my time and gone through the benz. Runs great. New motor, tranny, diff, axles, brakes, IP, on and on. Its reliable. Then I polished it and waxed it. And its starting to feel like a better option.

Before I just wanted no headaches with a warranty. But now I'm looking at having to fix the versa, and not the benz.

I took my mother for a ride in the benz. The ultimate test pilot when it comes to analyzing if you could consider it a driver. She loved it and said take the nissan back.

Kinda unorganized and random. But thats where Im at. I have zero time left to deal with a car.

Think I can get them to buy it back? I recorded my conversations on the used lot. And the manager saying they shouldn't make noise or misfire if I buy one (dirty trick).
