Lemon Law NY

Under what circumstances can my car fall under the lemon law?

I purchased a car with an extended warranty which I later found had many issues, from an actual dealership. Neither the dealer, nor the warranty company will compensate for my broken engine and transmission mounts, leaving me to have to cough up half of the car's price. Does this fall under the lemon law?? Thanks. It's a full aftermarket warranty purchased from the dealer itself. The motor mounts gave shortly after I bought the car, 800 or so miles later, the test drive was fine!

1. year/make/model/miles/all got to do with it
2. If it's not still under the factory warranty, the lemon law won't apply. Lemon laws protect the buyers of NEW vehicles from serious, recurring defects. Stuff that didn't come out right from the factory. Conditions such as abuse, wear and tear, or negligence are not covered.
3. It would be kind of difficult for you not to notice prior to purchase that motor mounts and transmission mounts were broken. There is a seriously annoying clunking sound when both of those mounts go that you would notice right away. (assuming you test drove the car before buying it). I'm guessing you simply have a drivetrain warranty (engine, transmission, axle) and it is not covered under the extended warranty.
4. If you bought a BRAND NEW car that you have taken in to get the EXACT SAME PROBLEM fixed 3-4 times and its still not fixed, then you MIGHT have a lemon. Anything else is NOT a lemon.
5. 1/2 of the cars price? For tranny and engine mounts? There is more to this then we are being told.
