I remember hearing that Ontario might be introducing a lemon law similar to that in California, making it easier for consumers to return "lemons" for refunds.
Anyone know if the province has done anything about this??
Reason I ask is that if a dealer's service department CAN'T fix a certain problem with a new car (after repeated visits), I wonder if I can throw the keys back at them and ask for my money back.

There is system here call CAMVAP. Try searching them on the internet. It is basically a mediation process.

So far, 2 visits to try and fix an absolutely awful idle on cold start ups. The car sounds like it is going to stall, sputerring like an old 70's carburated beast.
They haven't been able to fix it yet, and I'm not very optimistic.
I figure that if they can't fix the idle problem, combined with the partial repaint it is in for today, I might want to get on the horn with CAMVAP/OMVIC.

Partial repaint? That does not sound pleasant.
Yours is black right? For future reference, Tremclad comes in that colour ;D
