I think I Purchased a Lemon
I'm new to the thread. Purchased a 2015 c300 Mercedes last year - brand new - just got car out of the shop (dealership of course) with several things wrong with it. I was driving the car on the hwy and it started jerking and losing power. The dealership kept the car for two weeks and had to replace all this stuff - does anyone know what this means? Here is the paperwork they gave me once my car was "repaired":

I'm so upset. Lawyer says I don't have a lemon case because they didnt' keep it for 30 days. I don't know what all the gibberish means - but it sounds like this car had some major issues. Like I said, purchased the car brand new last year. Can someone interpret this for me so that I can understand it?
