Are You Stuck with a Lemon?
Buying a new car is both an exciting proposition and a significant financial investment. After investing time, research, and money in finding what you thought was just the right car, it can be very disappointing and frustrating to discover that your dream car is really a lemon. And, as if the frustration and inconvenience weren't enough, finding yourself unexpectedly without a working vehicle can impact your livelihood.
That's why state governments across the country have created special protections for people who purchase new vehicles that turn out to be "lemons". In some states, those protections even extend to used cars under warranty, motorcycles, motor homes, and a variety of other "big ticket" items.
However, problems do occur, and lemon law doesn't automatically entitle you to a refund if there's a problem with your new car. Instead, most state lemon laws provide for a reasonable number of repair attempts or days that the vehicle is "out of service" before requiring the manufacturer to issue a refund or replace the car.
What You Need to Know about Lemon Law
Lemon law was designed to protect consumers and small businesses, but its provisions can be confusing. Often the state lemon law time limits are phrased in a "whichever comes first" or "whichever comes last" format, and incorporate a variety of factors.
Because there are specific requirements about days out of service and repair attempts, it's important that you document all of your efforts to get the problem resolved, with specific dates and other important details.
