Make sure to keep records of the repairs. Some cars are lemons and you might be covered by the lemon law if problems persist. Personally, if you financed the car, tell the bank about the problem. They don't want a lemon either. They may request the dealer replace the car.

A lemon is a car that comes with multiple defects that can't be resoved in a reasonable or timely manner.

I guess this is USA terminology and forgot we have users all over the world. Thanks for explaining. I've seen lemon cars before and they are nothing but trouble. Not sure what causes them, but sometimes cars are problem prone. Most American made cars I've owned had some problems, but not a lemon. Toyotas and Nissans I owned have been trouble free for the most part. If I owned a new car with a radiator popped, I would tell the dealer to replace it now. Especially since you financed it with their bank. They may want to depreciate the miles you've already driven, but that is their problem for selling you a defective car. If it takes sitting in front of the dealership with a sign saying "Don't Buy Here" then do it IMO.
