or correct the defect within a reasonable
amount of time, you may have the right to
return the vehicle and receive a full refund,
less a discount for the use of the vehicle.
3. If it is assumed that the manufacturer or your
dealer cannot repair or correct the defect and
if the same defect continues to substantially
exist after that the manufacturer has received
a notice of the defect, sent by certified mail
with return receipt, and has had a final
chance to correct the defect or condition
within 10 days of receiving the notice. This
notice must be received by the manufacturer
within the terms of protection and can only
be given after (i) the manufacturer or your
dealer has attempted two or more times to
correct the defect; (ii) the manufacturer or
your dealer has attempted, at least once, to
correct the defect if the defect is one which
can cause death or serious bodily injury if the
vehicle is operated; or (iii) the vehicle has
been out of service for repairs by a total of 20
calendar days accumulation or more, or in the
case of a rolling motorized house
(motorhome) 45 days or more.
4. If the same defect substantially continues to
exist after the manufacturer has had the last
opportunity to repair or correct the defect,
you may file a claim for compensation under
the New Jersey lemon law.
