Frequent Car Repair Issues

Summary

In Alabama, you may be protected under the Alabama Lemon Law if your car has significant defects within the first 24 months. The car must have been repaired for the same issue three or more times without success, and you must notify the manufacturer in writing. Additionally, if you were misled about the cars price, this could be a case of fraudulent misrepresentation, which involves a false representation, reliance upon it, and resulting damage. The dealership may not be legally obligated to provide a different car, but you may be entitled to a replacement or refund under the Lemon Law. Always consult a local attorney for personalized advice.
