Bought a used van less than 30 days after taking possession electrica problems the dealer can't duplicate after 24 hrs yet had it happen to me 7 tiems on drive over do we have recourse to cancel sale?

Answer

If the terms of the sale included the words "as is", you have no recourse. If there was a time limited warranty (usually 30, 60 or 90 days) then the dealer needs to make it right, provided of course, the problem can be replicated.

If the electrical problem is intermittent, which sound like the case here, it will be next to impossible to detect or find until whatever it is finally decides to quit working or short out. Something different is happening when you are driving it as opposed to when the dealer is operating it - you need to figure out what that is - sometimes a bare wire rubbing in the steering column can cause intermittent failures ... maybe a particular speed bump while turning a corner ... something IS different when you drive it.

The usual time for 'lemon law' is no more than three (3) days for returning a purchased vehicle - don't know if this lemon law applies to used cars.
