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.
