That seems to make more sense than the replacing the turbo.... The car has 13000 miles on it so overfilled oil should not be a issue...First I assume that they check to make sure it was not accidentally overfilled at the factory.
Just a wild stab, but perhaps the variable displacement oil pump isnt varying correctly.
Every state has different lemon laws, not knowing where he/she is from makes impossible to say what exactly applies here. I do know in Michigan the law doesn't say anything about mileage, only that it must be within one year of taking delivery of the vehicle.13,000 miles? You'll be hard pressed to trade it in as a lemon as they usually make you responsible for the mileage on the car I believe.
Awesome... thanks... been at the Dealer for 2 weeks now and they have no idea what to do... I am in WA state and Lemon Law works for the first year..... A reasonable attempts to fix the problem and reasonable amount of time....4 Tries to fix/ more than 30 days without the car. The car will be repurchase at the original sale price if within 6 months of purchase...You can lemon a car after one year, you just get a depreciated value.
As Skilz pointed out, make sure your documentation reads right for dates and such. Whatever copy they gave you is the one I would be trying to get held up in court if need be!
I disagree; a reduction of 15% is pretty substantial. Also, I'd be more concerned about the mpg drop being a symptom a larger problem as the OP and some others have suggested.Sorry to hear about your troubles but the OP's mileage drop isn't necessarily that huge.
It sounds large from a mpg point of view, but from a gallonage POV, the delta after 100 miles of driving would be ~0.38 gallons.I disagree; a reduction of 15% is pretty substantial.
