Lemon Law Help???

[SpecV44]

Anyone on here dealt with the Lemon Law? I have filed all the paperwork, and Bob Steele currently has the HHR for the "final repair attempt".

My question is; should I attain an attorney? I can give more information, and even email you the service records for the entire ordeal if it helps, but here is a quick rundown.

I took delivery of my 2008 HHR SS with 107 miles on it, March 30th 2009. June 4th, I brought it to Bob Steele for the FIRST time to fix the misfiring issue. Since that day, I have brought it in 6 times (including June 4th), including last Tuesday (Nov 3rd, for the "final repair attempt"). Thus far, they have had possession of the vehicle for 27 days. Since I dropped it off last tuesday, I have talked to them 5 times. Each time I call them, or they call me, they keep telling me that they are waiting on the "engineers" to call them back to tell them what to do, so 7 days now and they havent touched the vehicle. Last Monday my dad and step mom went there and talked to the service manager (Randy Copeland), to try and figure out what is happening. Basically, they were told that they "dont know how to fix it".

I simply want my vehicle back so it can happen again and I can get my refund, the problem at this point is that the vehicle has 11,500mi on it, and every mile I put on it is less money GM has to pay me for the vehicle. This is the 6th time it has been to Bob Steele in the last 7,000 miles for misfiring. 27 days = $390 in days that I have paid for but havent had the joy of driving my vehicle. I am afraid I am going to have to get an attorney to get the maximum money back from GM that I can get.

Lastly, here is some quick numbers for you:

Delivery date: March 30, 2009 - 226 days ago
In 226 days, Bob Steele has had the HHR for misfiring 27 days, or 11.946% of the time.

First misfire date: (first time brought to Bob Steele for misfire) June 4th, 2009 - 160 days ago
In 160 days, Bob Steele has had the HHR for misfiring, 27 days, or 16.875% of the time.

Where do I go from here? I have submitted all the paperwork, but I am roadblocked until they give me the car back.

Thus far they have changed 16 valve springs, 2 valves, headgasket, 2 valve retainers, and the #4 spark plug. IDk...

I thought it was 3 times for same issue. Or is it a state to state thing. I know in PA, my buddy just had to go to court over the Lemon Law with his wifes charger.

You called 1-800-My-Lemon i presume?

It is 3 times, before you can file your paperwork, however, they had my car for 17 days before this time and my paperwork was inside it so I couldnt mail it off. After I got the car back I mailed it off.

I havent called or talked to anyone yet, I simply followed the directions in my lemon law book and mailed it to GM and the state attorney.
