Regardless of anything, trying to 'scam' for anything is wrong. Especially when he has a legitimate course of action to persue.
The guys always trying to 'get over' is why certain aspects of american life are now screwed, i.e. lawyers, all insurance, etc. etc.
Do you ever stop to think what picture is painted of your character when your first thought of advice is, 'this is how you can cheat...'? A man without good character is the same as a man without a dick IMO. Your character and your word are the two things you should hold sacred IMO.
I'm not saying you have bad character - I don't know you. I'm simply suggesting you think about how you will be percieved with comments like that, ya know?

That is probably the dumbest advice I have ever seen given on the internet.[:@]
Hello, this is the INTERNET - accessible to the world. You do have a PM function, you know? Telling someone to do anything illegal in a public forum is about the stupidest thing you can do next to the person who takes the advice...
Tim - the dealership obviously has their head up their **** no matter what the problem turns out to be. You are on the right track with the lemon law. The best advice I saw was to also consider taking the car to an independent shop for examination. You don't need them to work on the car, just diagnose and document the problem in their opinion. This will be all you need on top of your current service records and experience with the dealership to get some action taken.
Good luck
don't get caught, because that will get u in trouble

Ok have the dealership check the cooling system for Hydrocarbons. You can have a blown head gasket and have no signs of oil in the water or water in the oil. Also when is the car overheating. Freeway or in town. There should be sufficient air flow at highway speeds to not even need the fans to come on. So if it is overheating in town then they need to check the fans operation. These cars do have a fail safe cooling system but I am not sure it can prevent a head gasket popping if you simply keep driving it while it is overheating. If you got it hot enough to shut itself down then you may very well have popped the head gasket. If they find Hydrocarbons in the cooling system then you know for certain the head gasket has popped.
It is also possible that the impeller on the water pump has separated from the shaft and the only way they can find that would be to physically remove the water pump and inspect it. You need to give more details on a overheat issue other than just saying it overheats.

When the car is at idle it can cools down almost immidiately.
Another strange thing that happens...when it begins to overheat, I turn the heater on to draw some of the hot air out of the engine and what starts off as hot air from the vents, then automatically begins to blow ice cold AC air. This also happened when the dealership had it out for a test drive. The first time I told them about it they thought I was nuts.
Thanks for all the advice

My character is aight, but when somebody is trying to cheat me I get even. In this case they been fu#%@! with the guy for a while, having him come back and forth to the dealership, leaving him with an empty tank which in cali is about 45 bux and in addition to all that putting extra miles on his car. Not only that, they tried to have him sign the paper that says that there's nothing wrong with the car, in other words trying to make him sound like a complete bull-isher. I can be honest with a normal person like you (I assume you are) or this guy that's suffering here , but not with a corporation that not only has 1000000 times deeper pockets than I do and still try to screw me over.
