Default Kia Repair service? / Bank 1 Running Lean CEL

I was wondering, for those of you that have work done regularly ( or irregularly for that matter ) at a Kia Dealership, how good is the quality on their workmanship?

Reason why i ask, is becuase i have a 2001 kia optima v4, that they have had more this year than i have myself! My warranty has since expired on April 23rd, and the same problem has yet to been fixed. (Bank 1 Running Lean) and this CEL came on this past december. They have replaced my ecu, belts, timing, valvles, crankshaft, speed sensors, supposedly cleaned a big carbon buildup in my engine..twice in the past month and a half...which doesnt seem right to me...

And last but not least, they replaced my transmission. Yet anytime i start to accelerate past 50+ MPH, that CEL code will pop on.

Does anyone know how the lemon law can pertain to this? (I live in Florida) or any suggestions as to what i should do? I am currently bumming rides off anyone who can give me, but it is a burden to me and them to arrange for these on a daily basis, especially with multiple jobs.

If anyone has any advice, comments or suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
