Legal Question in Administrative Law in Florida

Re: recission

Call the consumer affairs division of the Office of the Attorney General in Tallahassee. They will be able to guide you as to whether you have any Lemon Law rights.

You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further. Similar questions like this have been asked repeatedly.

There is no recission period in Florida for the purchase of a car. This is a false notion and would not make any sense.

Under the Florida Lemon Law there must be three (or more) repair attempts for the same defect or condition, OR at least 15 cumulative calendar days out of service for one or more defects or conditions, before submitting the Motor Vehicle Defect Notification. If you do not have the required number of repair attempts or days out of service, then continue to take the vehicle to the dealer for repairs.

A simple Google search would have revealed a wealth of information on the Lemon Law. You can find more information online at: http://www.800helpfla.com/lemonlaw.html

I would suggest that if you qualify and the manufacturer refuses to cooperate (which is the norm) that you immediately obtain an attorney to represent you in this matter. The fees are generally paid by the manufacturer as part of the action.
