Mike:

I am pretty sure that they have to disclose a lemon car with a notation of some kind on the title. I think it is called a branded title. I think you can tell because at some point the manufature has to retake possesion of the car and then resell it, usually through a high volume dealer or auction house. I don't think that you have much to worry about. Sounds like the car was traded in and the dealer just offed it. Lots of dealers don't like to be bothered with trades. I think they all like to keep their lots fresh so if it doesn't sell in 60 or 90 days off it goes...
