This is misleading. Case law says that you must give the dealer a reasonable opportunity to effect a repair and this means allowing 3 attempts. A dealer may be prepared to accept rejection more readily than that, but a buyer can only insist on rejection after giving the dealer a reasonable opportunity to rectify the fault.
