is there a "lemon law" in canada?
and if there is...what do the details say about "lemons"? Like number of defects, durations, coverage, etc...
i read about some lemon law in the states...
just wondering if there's such a thing here and what it covers..

there are laws but they aren't specifically "lemon laws"... but there are consumer laws in place that protect one after buying a troublesome car from a registered dealer (curbsiders not included), and the laws differ from province to province (some provinces don't have a "lemon law"). can't remember the criteria in order to be considered a lemon though...
plus you can take any issues up with the Canadian Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan (CAMVAP) for neutral third party resolution if necessary...

Rep Power: 0 I believe there is some sort of protection, not specifically lemon laws. I am confident that there is lemon laws regarding computers. Usually a lemon is considered after 3 repairs of the SAME problem.

Rep Power: 0 haven't had time to look up the CAMVAP stuff yet (darn draven beat me to the post with more information too =p) but wanted to chip in: if something is considered a lemon after 3 repairs of the same problems, then my car is definetly one....
in the 3 years I've had it (I'm nearing end of warranty now), I've complained and repaired the front suspension 4 times, and the rear suspension 6 times, both for various squeaking sounds. The front struts have now been replaced, the rear brushings have been replaced, among other stuff that I can't remember now, and it's STILL squeaking slightly.
hmmmmm......I should've looked more closely at that lemon stuff....

Hello friend,
At this point you should consult with a lemon law attorney and sue for breach
of warranty and other legal theories. You shouldn't have to put up with this crap
from the dealer anymore.
