They should be able to return the car to factory condition or pretty close. However, I can understand that you may have difficulty having confidence in it after this. So it's really your choice whether to return it under the lemon law or give the repairs a chance. How much do you like the car otherwise? Will you be happy with something else? Do you have to lemon-law it now, or can you wait and do it if you do have additional problems later on?
Although a few head issues have popped up on the board, this is not a common problem. So please don't write off the entire model because yours was defective. Manufacturing is never perfect, and most car models have some go terribly wrong for the unlucky among the owners. There have been some people who lemon-lawed their cars only to trade them for the same model, while others are so soured on the experience that they opt for something else.
Good luck.
