Even worse, the cars are so smart you can't force a lemon law without getting caught.

I had a friend who had two transmission burn up in his new diesel f250 10+ years ago. The second one, they gave him a remanufactured transmission even though the truck was only 1 years old or so. He put on a huge tow hitch, backed up against a huge parking structure wall, and put it in reverse for 30+ minutes until the transmission overheated and melted down.

Got the truck bought back.
