Around 150,000 vehicles sold each year are lemons.
Find if your car is one among them!
Every state has enacted some type of “lemon law” to protect consumers who end up
with defective vehicles. Even though the term “lemon” is primarily used for cars,
it also includes all consumer products such as cars, motorcycles, RVs , computers,
boats, refrigerators, etc. that frequently fail to meet the set standards of quality
and performance.
In general, to qualify for protection under a Lemon Law:
You must have a defective product that has not been fixed within a reasonable number
of repair attempts as defined by your state.
The product has undergone repairs for the same problem or has been out of service
by reason of repair for more than a reasonable number of days during the warranty
period.
- Any problem that substantially impairs the use and market value of the product
and the warrantor is unable to make the product free from defects within a reasonable
number of attempts.
- If you qualify under the lemon law for your product, you may be entitled to receive
a refund or a replacement product, plus sales taxes, licensing and title fees, registration
fees, rental product costs and towing charges in case of automobiles, as well as
any finance or interest charges and attorney fees. Generally, the choice of refund
or replacement product is that of the consumer and not the manufacturer.
If you have a lemon law claim,
- Check the product’s warranty in order to inform yourself about the proper steps
to take so as to guarantee legal recourse.
- Determine the number of times the product has been in for the repair.
