At what point can I try to lemon law my truck?

[Bdubbs]

I bought my 21 f150 brand new July of 2021.

It's had a rattle pretty much since I bought it on the drivers side 3rd door latch area. Right by my left ear and it drives me completely crazy!

My local Ford dealership has brought it to the body shop twice and I had ford look at it at least 3 times.

The most recent time (a few months ago) they replaced the striker/latch. And the noise was gone! I thought we had it fixed.

Now today it's back again.

This truck only has 5800 miles and it has had a couple other issues with it too. But I honestly don't even want this truck anymore. I get annoyed every time I drive it. I really think something structural is wrong with this truck

I'll be calling my Ford dealership again this week...

From Minnesota’s AG Brady:

Lemon Law - MN Car Laws

Popularly known as the “lemon law,” Minnesota’s motor vehicle warranty statute was created to help protect you when you buy or lease a car, pickup truck, or van, that is still under the original manufacturer’s warranty.

www.ag.state.mn.us

“For a vehicle to be covered, the defect must be reported within the warranty period, or two years, whichever comes first. If the defect is reported within this time period and you have continuing problems with the same defect, however, you still can make a claim until the end of the third year.”

If the latch/striker fixed it and it is the same sound coming back then I find it hard to believe they can't solve this. Not doubting you but I think it needs to go to someone more competent. Noises can be really difficult to diagnose but if they have done it once yet it's back then there should be a permanent fix if given to the right shop/person.

I think it depends on the state.

Every state is different. If anyone has a warranty issue in SC, let me know. I can help with those.

Indeed it does. It's unbearable.

@Weather Man nope, no bug deflector.

Rattles drive me crazy! Sorry you are dealing with this.. especially on a 1/2 ton truck that rides smooth!
