A lawyer that is familiar with state
lemon laws can help you determine a variety of problems like whether
the car was damaged at the time of delivery. Was there fraud or
deception in your financing paperwork? Were repairs attempted
beforehand to cover up defects? Lawyers go through an extreme
investigation on your vehicle to make sure how these items affected
your value, safety, or use. |
LemonLaws
Lemon Laws are United States state laws that remedies to
consumers for automobiles that repeatedly fail to meet certain
standards of quality and performance. These vehicles are called
lemons.
The federal lemon law (the
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act) protects citizens of all states. State
Lemon Laws vary by state and may not necessarily cover used or leased
vehicles. The rights afforded to consumers by Lemon Laws may exceed
the warranties expressed in purchase contracts. Lemon Law is the common nickname for these laws,
but each state has different names for the laws and acts.

The primary objective of these lemon laws is to force manufacturers to
buy back defective vehicles or exchange them. Depending on the
jurisdiction, a process similar to vehicle title branding may also be
used to warn subsequent purchasers of the history of a problem
vehicle. This portion of a vehicle's history is, however, often not
retained with the vehicle title when exporting vehicles to another
jurisdiction. |
State laws vary, but a rule of thumb is
if the car problem can't be fixed with 4 tries or the car has been out
of commission for more than 30 days during the first year or 12,000
miles.
