Looks like the lemon law time frame in FL is 2 years from initial purchase. Beyond that you’re still under warranty, but not the easy consumer focused protection lemon law provides.
I’ve been directly involved in one buy back. A GL with 500 miles, no sound from the radio. I needed a MOST fiber optic harness, and there were none in the world. Pushing 45 days, they “found one”, shoved in a tiny envelope and sent it in the mail. That shoving kinked the fiber optic cable, making it even worse than the one I had.
Shortly after that, we got a nice letter not to touch the car, lock it out back and they would come pick it up. The car was brand new, rolling off the assembly line daily. We asked why they couldn’t walk in to the factory (in Alabama) and grab a harness. I was told MBUSI, who makes cars, was not the same company as MBUSA, who sells and supports cars. Nothing they could do about it.
I would think the problem isn’t that they no longer make the harness, but that it has to be made specifically for the car. That takes time, sadly.
