Lemon Law Vehicles Safeguard Rights Against Faulty Cars
Purchasing a new car is a significant investment, often accompanied by feelings of excitement and anticipation. However, the thrill of a new vehicle can quickly turn into frustration if your car spends more time in the repair shop than on the road. If you find yourself with a defective car, also known as a “lemon,” understanding your rights under the Lemon Law is crucial to ensuring you’re not stuck with a faulty product. We can protect consumers like you from the pitfalls of defective vehicles.
What is the Lemon Law?
Lemon Law Vehicles refer to cars that consistently fail to meet quality and performance standards. Lemon laws are consumer protection laws that provide recourse for purchasers of cars and other consumer goods to compensate for products that repeatedly fail. These laws vary by state, but generally, if your vehicle has significant defects covered under warranty that have not been repaired after several attempts—or if the vehicle has been out of service for an extended period while under warranty—you may be entitled to relief under lemon law protection.
Who Qualifies for Lemon Law Protection?
Lemon laws cover new and, in some cases, used vehicles that are still under the original manufacturer’s warranty. To qualify for a claim, the defect must:
Substantially Impair
The defect must substantially impair the vehicle's use, value, or safety.
Unsuccessful Repairs
Have been attempted to be repaired a reasonable number of times without success.
Within Time/Mileage
Occur within a certain period or number of miles after purchase.
