Repeated problems with a newer vehicle?
Every state has a lemon law for new vehicles that can't be fixed after a reasonable number of repair attempts, and some cover used vehicles too. The rules (how many attempts, how long you have) differ by state. Recall repairs are generally done free by an authorized dealer, and keeping every repair record helps with any later claim.

Crash, injury and death figures are what complainants reported.
