In California the Lemon Law DOES work. I never sued anyone before, but I got so sick and tired of taking my Armada in for the 'real fix', I decided to look into my rights. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my Armada except for the brake problem. I got my Armada right when they came out. So i have been dealing with brake problem for awhile. About 45 days a go I contacted a Lemon Law attorney based in San Diego. Tomorrow I already have an appointment to take my Armada back to the dealership. The lawyer said that the check will go out FedEx tomorrow too. In California, you get all the money back that you spend into your Armada. YOu get your DMV registration (prorated for the unused portion), All of your monthly payments on your loan, your down payment, and all the money you spend on Nissan aftermarket parts.
You just have to provide the attorney with a copy of your bill of sale, receipts for all the times you took it in for the brake problem, receipts for Nissan aftermarket parts installed, a copy of a monthly statement from your loan company, and a copy of DMV registration. I think that was all.
It took Nissan about 25 days to respond to the demands of the lawyer, and they accepted.
I am doing research to see if the newest Armadas have the real brake fix. The lawyer says that they do. I would really like to get another Armada because I really loved it!
I would say that to my surprise, the Lemon Law process was very easy and quick. It is worth it to me because I feel that Nissan should not have led me on for over a year into thinking that my brakes were fixed 'for real this time'. I would have to drive over an hour to get to the dealership everytime I needed to take it in and sometimes it would take up to two weeks to get my truck back. If Nissan would have really given me the fix, I would have never hired an attorney.
