Anyone ever had any luck with California Lemon Law?

For over a year now I've been trying to get Porsche to fix the "STOP" message problem with the 987 CD players. I'm on my fourth stereo now--they keep on replacing it, saying they've done software updates, etc.

Well, the problem's still there, along with other little stereo quirks. My service rep at my dealership is talking to his Porsche rep right now to see what they can do. I've been very patient about the whole thing but frankly, I'm tired of it, "it" being Porsche, not my dealership as they've been great about everything.

So I started doing some research into Lemon Laws. I always thought they were meant to protect a consumer from car problems of a life-threatening nature, but as it turns out you can also file a claim if you've had the same problem four times and the dealer/manufacturer hasn't been able to solve it within 18 months and 18,000 miles of purchase.

There's other little things that I could harp about too that would fall under this law, like the fact that they've replaced those cab top tensioner strings three times on my car already. I feel like I could easily build a very good case and submit it for arbitration. I have service records and numerous videos recorded of the problems, along with witnesses.

It sounds nitpicky, I know, but I'm curious to hear what y'all think about it. If they did decide to replace the car, I'd naturally be quite pleased...

Anyone have any opinions or experience on this matter?
