The mileage offset is calculated based on the miles driven before your first repair attempt for the defect.

Yes. Dealers sometimes dismiss legitimate defects as normal vehicle behavior. Under the Song-Beverly Act, what matters is whether the defect substantially impairs the vehicle's use, value, or safety. If you believe the issue with your GX is abnormal, you should document every visit and consider consulting a Lemon Law attorney who can evaluate your case independently.
