Do I have the right to a refund after garage fixed car but now broken again?

Orlak2410

I bought a used car for 7 grand with a 3 month warranty. It was giving me trouble so I brought it back and after having it for more than a week they claimed to have fixed it. Now it's giving me the exact same problem again and I have lost all confidence in it. Do I have the right to a refund?

Look up SOGSOS

Are you within the warranty period?

It depends on the type of trouble it's giving you, and how the car was described to you when you bought it .

You probably aren't entitled to a refund for the car but you might be entitled to get them to remedy the fault with the car and if they said they repaired it, but the fault recurred, then the original fault still needs to be repaired

If they are a reputable car dealership they will honour the warranty

If they have no reputation worthy of protecting, they can fob you off indefinitely

It keeps jerking when driving and going into limp mode. They changed the fuel filter and did a forced dpf regeneration but that didn't do anything but leave me without a car for a week.

Yes but isn't there some kind of clause that describes that if the supposed fault was repaired and then it happened again, they don't know what's wrong with it and then it's either replacement or refund? Also the inconvenience is not supposed to be too severe to the customer

be interesting to see what codes are in the OBD2. Sounds like engine not getting correct amount of fuel but could be lots of things like blocked fuel injectors, dirty air filter, damaged cylinders.

dirty fuel filter is often the cause but doesn't seem to be in this case.

It's not my problem anyway I gave them a chance to fix it and was left a week without a car
