More details to this question:
we signed a lease for a new car and the dealership made an error on it. We came back in to sign a new lease contract 2 weeks later. The second lease was dated at a different date from when it was actually signed. Is the lease still valid?

Yes, unless (a) you didn't know about the incorrect date when you signed the lease (very difficult to show since you are presumed to have read and understood what you sign); and (b) the different date makes some sort of material difference in the lease, which seems doubtful.
