When a Toyota becomes a lemon
Complaint counts do not make your car a lemon. Your own repair orders do. If your Toyota went back for the same electrical fault three or four times early in its life, that pattern is what the law reads. Most states count 3 or 4 repair tries for the same defect, or 30 days in the shop.
A free recall repair at the dealer can count as a visit too, so keep that paper. Three repair orders that name the same electrical system fault are a case worth a call.

- Call with every repair order and your VIN in hand. The case review is free, and the attorney checks your VIN against NHTSA's recall list.
