Know your Right to Laundered Lemon Warnings
The Lemon Law in most states prohibits lemon laundering.Law requires manufacturers to do three things after repurchasing a vehicle.

  • Mark the vehicle as Lemon
  • Notify the Buyer with a written list of defects before the sale
  • Give the Buyer a One Year Warranty

A vehicle that has a deadly defect should never be put up for resale.Laundered Lemon dealers Tamper with the Lemon Law
The manufacturer hoodwinks the law by

  • Repurchasing the vehicle as a goodwill buy back
  • Claiming that the vehicle is not covered by the Lemon Law
  • Shipping the vehicle out of state to an auto auction/a car dealer/a consumer
  • Denying any Knowledge of the Lemon History of the vehicle, despite Its Complete Warranty Repair History
  • Moving the lemon vehicle to a state that does not require branding
  • Moving the lemon vehicle to a state that does not recognize the brand from the previous state

Consequently,

  • The vehicle is left unmarked

In cases where the title is branded,

  • Consumers do not actually see the title immediately

Laundered Lemondealers Fake Legal Compliance
Occasionally, manufacturers and car dealers do feign compliance with the law by

  • Identifying only one or two of the many complaints made by the previous owner of the lemon car
  • Removing the word warning from the top of the disclosure document
  • Placing the disclosure document within a large stack of documents
  • Spreading the stack out in a way that leaves the signature lines visible while the top half of the document is hidden by the stack itself

As a result, buyers often unknowingly sign a form acknowledging that the vehicle is a lemon.In such a case, the signed form should have no legal effect on your rights.Are You a Victim?
