I've actually Lemoned two vehicles over the years and I didn't need a lawyer as stated above because it was pretty cut and dry. First was in 1998 with a Mazda B4000 pick up that had an issue with the clutch. No matter who drove it or how the clutch engaged there was always a shudder that was annoying beyond belief. They changed it out 3 times in 6 months and eventually I received my purchase price back plus they compensated my gas mileage and after all was said and done I came out $800 ahead. The second was my ex wife's impulse but of the 2005 Chevy Equinox that every time it rained the floor got wet inside. After about 3 months of the car sitting at the dealer they determined that the cause was faulty welds at the factory roof seams from the factory and deemed the car a lemon. Being that she traded in a 2002 Civic Si during the purchase I had to write a check for $1,200.00 to bury the deal. I hated that hunk of junk Equinox anyways so I was stoked to have it gone.

All that said, no way in hell will they lemon your car over condensation in the tail lamp housings. Just ride the dealer hard and make sure they test the lamps before returning your car. They should provide you a loaner during this testing period so your time spent at the dealer should be minimal. Hope this helps.
