Well said. Lemon Laws and Consumer Protection laws represent two different paths to resolution. If you’re reviewed those for your State you’ll find both have documentation thresholds and timeframes for the Manufacturer to respond. My views are from those of a BIG fan, current R18 owner and 13...
I’ve had my concerns Re: Dealership network BMW NA for sometime. I’d recommend formal demand notices Certified Mail and cc Nationally to elevate. Research your State Consumer Protection and Fraud Statutes (Texas it’s the DTPA.) You don’t need an Atty to file with your State AG’s office. From my...
