RS4 / RS6 DRC Failure & Lemon Law interpretation

Greetings All,

I was looking at my state lemon law and was wondering if DRC failures would fall under this.

Here is the snippet from the Attorney General's Office.
"What is a "Lemon?"

Your vehicle may qualify as a "lemon" if it has one or more substantial defects that have been subject to a "reasonable number of attempts" to diagnose or repair the problem(s) under the manufacturer’s warranty.

A "reasonable number of attempts" has occurred when:

1. Diagnosis or repair of the same "serious safety defect" has been attempted two or more times, and the defect continues to exist. At least one attempt must occur during the "warranty period" (see What is the Warranty Period?).
* A "serious safety defect" is a life-threatening malfunction that impairs the driver’s ability to control or operate the vehicle, or creates a risk of fire or explosion; OR
2. Diagnosis or repair of the same "nonconformity" has been attempted four or more times, and the defect continues to exist. At least one attempt must occur during the "warranty period" (see What is the Warranty Period? ).
* A "nonconformity" is a defect that "substantially impairs" the use, value or safety of the motor vehicle so as to make the vehicle unreliable, unsafe or diminished in resale value for comparable vehicles; OR
3. A vehicle has been out-of-service for diagnosis or repair of one or more nonconformities or serious safety defects (whether or not repaired) for a cumulative total of 30 or more calendar days, with at least 15 of those days occurring during the "warranty period."

What do you think?

I've already had DRC replaced twice in 3 months now.
