Legal Question in Consumer Law in California

Lemon Law

We purchased a new 1999 Kia Sportage in March of 1999. Since it's purchase it has been in for servicing multipul times for varies problems. However, it has also been in the shop four times to replace the transmission and once for the transfer case, which were all covered under the powertrain warranty. The transmission has begun leaking again and will need a to be replaced very soon, this will be the 5th. After the 3rd transmission we contacted the BBB for arbitration and agreed on a settlement of $558. At the time we believed the problem was fixed once. To our dismay it is still not fixed properly. We have contacted Kia Motors of America to begin arbitration with them for a settlement. We are looking to have our money refunded. We are wondering if we have a case? Are these enough reasons to get a refund? What rights do we have? Do we need a lawyer to get all we deserve? I would apprecate any information you can give me. Thank you.
