I bought a veihcle from a dealer on 1/22/11 and the tranmission has started to slip. I signed the as is warranty paper but a friend of mine says that I have 30 days reguardless according tothe lemon laws. Does anybody have any info on this?

I pretty sure they either have to give you 10 or 30 days, not a 100% sure though

That sucks man. I bet someone put some Lucas or something in the transmission to get it to hold just long enough to sell it.
According to this site you can't return it, but it'd be worth a call to the state attorney general's office Monday morning:http://wiki.answers.com/Q/In_north_carolina_how_long_do_you_have_to_return_a_used_vehicle

So this is a used vehicle?
Best resource on this board is probably Brad, since he does it for a living.
but I'm pretty sure if it's used, there is no state law covering you.

I am a mechanic I believe it is 30 days . you can call the dealer you purchased the vehicle from and see if he will help you in any way .

Lemon law does not cover used vehicles sold "as is".
The North Carolina Lemon Law statute 20-351 to 20-351.10 covers what most consumers need to know regarding their rights in the state of North Carolina concerning vehicles they believe to be lemons. The below North Carolina Lemon Law Statute is from the official Attorney General's Department of Justice website.
Lemon Law
"New Motor Vehicles Warranties Act
NCGS CHAPTER 20, ARTICLE 15A
§ 20-351. Purpose.
This Article shall provide State and private remedies against motor vehicle manufacturers for persons injured by new motor vehicles failing to conform to express warranties."

had the same deal happen to me and my fiancee a month ago. bought the van before thanksgiving drove it all over between here and Ga did great. a week and a half into it she jumps in it one am and wont come out of first gear... brought it by work, 5 trans codes pop up. we start looking and pricing bc we bought"as is". so we called the car lot and let them know and bc he wanted to keep his customer feedback positive he said "well you only have car for 2 week, so i fix" in my best Habibi voice. his guy pulled the trans rebuilt it stuck it back in and wasnt the problem. he ended up sending the car to dealer (Dodge) to get a computer put in. so we now have a 05 Dodge Caravan with 90k on body rebuilt trans and new computer that we got in the first place for $4500....
maybe worth a shot......

It never hurts to talk to the guy you got it from. A lot of places will cut you a deal just keep you from spreading the word about how bad a deal you got.
