I can speak from experience that what I bolded above is not true.
Now, if you're talking about refund of 100% of purchase price, then I agree.
But technically, lemon law could apply to a cosmetic issue like just an abnormal noise as long as it lowers the value of the car, but you would have to take the depreciation loss which is 1% per 1000 miles.
