By the way, because I did not take Chrysler to court, what they will do with the convertible? Attempted to fix it again and sell it as a used car? My paperwork does not state lemon law but authorize a replacement vehicle up to the MSRP. I think somebody will get stuck with the same problems I have without having any state recourse, i.e. lemon law. Thanks for all the information.

I have personally seen them get bought back & resold as "Demo's" or "scratch & dents"( YES, they actually put dents on them to pass them off as such) because ALOT have low mileage & were only owned for a few months. By the time they resell them/auction them, which takes no time at all., MAYBE a month. It doesnt have time to get caught by carfax, oe any other "lemon checking" web service. Not to mention..who checks new cars anyway? Right. It's only got 500-700 miles on it, not hard to believe it wasnt a demo.

BEWARE OF "LAUNDERED" LEMONS
It seems that old lemons never die. They just get passed on. For years, auto manufacturers claimed they would not dare re-sell lemons, and even told lemon owners not to worry-their bad car would be crushed or towed to a tech college for an "auto autopsy." Balderdash. They now admit to federal regulators that about 95% of the cars they repurchase go right back on the road. Sometimes, the defects have not been fixed. And sometimes, the people who buy them as used cars are kept totally in the dark.
Lemons have interesting "migratory patterns." CARS tracked lemon cars from Hawaii to Virginia, from Maine to Massachusetts, from Florida to Texas. Many states have outlawed "lemon laundering," but manufacturers still persist in breaking the law. CARS estimates that each year manufacturers buy back over 100,000 lemons, then resell them - often without the required disclosures.
