Is there any stance for lemon law on this car? ?

I purchased this car and they claimed that all the dashboard lights will go away after a quick ecu reset. They then said after we paid that it needs a new ABS sensor. I replaced the ABS sensor and the error is still there. Took it to an actual mechanic and they said there is an EVAP leak, a broken abs module, and a few other issues. The total repair costs come to about 1.5k

    It depends,  the lemon law usually applies only to brand new cars.  Used cars can and sometimes do have a warranty and it is usually the remainder of the factory warranty.  If it was purchased "as is"  it means exactly that and will be in the contract and you are on your own for any needed repairs.

    You are on your own. Look for the word "as-is" in the sales contract.

    Lemon laws only cover new cars and trucks...not used vehicles.

    1. Who is 'they'.

    2. When did you buy the car, and from whom?

    3. How old is the car?

    4. WHERE on the planet are you asking about?

    You managed to omit literally EVERYTHING relevant to if a lemon law could apply.

    Lemon law covers new cars that have the same malfunction after 3 attempts to repair fail. Your car has several different failures and you didn't say if it is a used car or not. You should not have bought the hunk-o-junk that had warning lights begging for it to go to the junk yard. When the check engine light comes on, you pull the codes to learn what the true problems are. Parts  need to be tested instead of just swapping them out so you know whether the part is bad, or something else is making it misbehave. You're starting to learn how this works and those hard lessons are costly. If the car came from a dealer, it's against the law for them to mislead you. They are required by law to reveal all known problems before selling the car to you. You bought the car and they threw in a bucket of problems for free. You might get help in small claims court IF the seller lied to you about know defects. On the other hand, for a price, anything can be fixed.......pay up.

    There are no Lemon Laws.  That is just BS.  If you have any of those promises in writing, then go to the County Attorney at the Courthouse.  The Sheriff will arrest them.  Who is doing all this fixing?  This sounds like a Bullshit fantasy.

    In most states the law says a dealer cannot even sell a car with the check engine light on. It is not a lemon law case if they attempt a repair and are successful. They usually have up to 5 attempts to fix the problem.

    If you bought it new and took it back three times for the same issue then there may be a lemon law. If it is used and you didn't get a warranty then you are SOL.
