    Obviously, there are two side to the story but if this is the last update then disappointingly this "lemon law" has failed the consumers (I was hopeful, but not really surprised of the outcome). This isn't much of a resolution. Nag-deny lang ulit yung car company (Audi). And not only that, I find it even more disturbing na Audi-ph would also bring up and/or attack the complainant by saying the car isn't even under his name. Ano gusto nila palabasin?

    Definitely not going to buy nor recommend to family and friends any Audi cars in the near future if this is the kind of people you would be dealing with.

    In a decision dated March 2, 2015 and penned by adjudication officer Ronald Calderon, the DTI found Audi Motorcars Incorporated and PGA Cars Incorporated (the local distributor of the German luxury automobile in the country) “jointly liable for the imperfections” of an Audi 6 3.0 TD, which was bought in May 2014 by Ricardo L. Nolasco Jr.

    Audi/PGA should replace the “lemon” Audi with a similar one “in a perfect state of use or reimburse the amount paid, with monetary updating,” the decision said.

    What's funny is that, under the IRR for the lemon law, the dealer should have had more chances to fix the car.

    Apparently the car was bought before the implementation of the Lemon Law. They used the Consumer Act which only gave the dealer 30 days to fix a complaint.

    Dimagiba clarified though that DTI did not use as legal basis the Philippine Lemon Law since the vehicle was bought in May, and the law was enacted in August 2014.

    Thus, the Consumer Act was used as the legal basis, citing Article 100, "if the imperfection is not corrected within 30 days, the consumer may alternatively demand the options provided.

    Yun nga... which means the guy was lucky... I think Lemon Law provides a bit longer, as well as the three(?four?) strikes rule.

    hay buhay!

    mine, 1st strike at 5300 km/5 months after purchase. 2nd and 3rd last december lang. then 4th strike 2 weeks ago lang at 9253 km. same problem, turbo-turbo-turbo-turbo. well, turbo hose yung strike 3 so maybe not counted hehehe. turbo plus intercooler yung strike 4.

    kaso purchased in february 2014, lemon law took effect august 2014. di rin sakop ng consumer act, more than 30 days bago lumabas ang sira. tawa-tawa na lang, walang magagawa e.

    Yebo, pwede yata yung case mo sa consumer act. naka indicate kasi kailangan maiayos within 30 days. not 30 days from purchase. so pasok dapat yan. try to consult with DTI. baka pwedeng refund nalang. just in time sa all new hilux
