well one more trip gets you to the lemon law which now does cover leased vehicles, 3 trips for a problem and they have to make good on the vehicle....
When I bought my vette, the paint was "weird" on one of the bumpers, 1st visit, they wet sanded and buffed it, second visit they put a heat shield around the exhaust and repainted it, 3rd visit I got a new corvette.... Sure I had to ask for it, but they did all the paperwork, and I dropped mine off on "E" 3 days later I picked up a new one full of gas and returned their loaner also on "E". That poor loaner, I had the traction control off for the entire time I drove it in 3 days I put 800 mile on it and had to take 2 years off the rear tire life, lol... It was fun, I was a bit younger then and acted silly on occasion, that incident was one of them occasions...
To add to the story, I seen my car at a car show about 2 summers later the rear bumper was still pealing, I asked the owner and he said he bought the car like that from the dealership, it was painted but the dealer {not the dealer I bought it from a completely different dealership} said they just painted the bumper but wouldn't warranty it, when I sent it back it had like 3000 miles on it, when he bought it was a dealer demo with over 20K miles... So they must have just made it a demo....
Anyway, stand your ground with the dealer, don't mention the lemon law yet, drive it again, if it happens again, mention the lemon law, 3 strikes and you are out....
Also I agree with the above post, put some aluminum foil around that fuse, lol somethings gotta give, but its not something you want to happen with your family in the car... I would want to hear they changed a harness or some tangible component this time around, so if the fuse is for the ecm, then I would like to see they changed the ecm and the main harness, etc...
