My wife and I had a lemon too - her '93 Ford Probe - don't laugh 
We bought it new back in 1993 and in about 1 year of ownership, it had its entire brake system replaced 3x which was enough to kick in the Lemon Law. We got a full refund after 3 months of submitting supporting documentation.
Your CEL issue is much more severe IMO and you have given Lotus US enough chances to correct them.
Best of luck. |

They learned that lesson with the breaking shifters where they accused owners of negligence. However, I ask: But what about those out of warranty? That's why I think that anyone affected, covered or not, should report the problem to the NHTSA.
Best of luck in getting a resolution!

Thanks, guys!
When I did submit a Lemon case last time, they threatened that they will fight it since I took the car to the track. That was a bad move for them. Considering Lotus gave away track events to the customers, and also market the brand/car as track car, that case won't work. Plus the car had the problem even before I took the car to the track. The fact that they threatened they want to fight made me want to fight even more.
I know they read this thread. I hope they would do the right thing.

They have been getting me rental cars. I have other cars, so I just drive my cars, and use the rental cars to get to/from the dealership.
Thanks, guys, for all your support!
