What The Term "30 Days" Exactly Means

Again, one would think that this definition wouldn't be up for debate, but if the car is out of commission for 29 days, you don't get a new car.  It has to be a full thirty days, although they don't have to be in a row.  Proper records are important, as the car maker and dealer won't help you with this part.  According to state law, this is what the "30 days" means:

The vehicle is out of service by reason of repair of nonconformities by the manufacturer or its agents for a cumulative total of more than 30 calendar days since delivery of the vehicle to the buyer. The 30-day limit shall be extended only if repairs cannot be performed due to conditions beyond the control of the manufacturer or its agents.
