Definition of a Lemon
A lemon is typically a vehicle or consumer product that has a significant defect covered by a warranty and remains unrepairable after a reasonable number of attempts.
Reasonable Repair Attempts
The law often stipulates what constitutes a reasonable number of repair attempts. For vehicles, this might be a specific number of attempts to fix the same defect or a cumulative number of days the vehicle is out of service due to repairs
The 3 R's
The consumer may be entitled to a repair, replacement, or refund if a product is deemed a lemon. This often includes the cost of the vehicle, taxes, registration fees, and any other consequential expenses.
Federal Lemon Law - Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act
In addition to state laws, the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act also provides protection, ensuring that consumers can enforce their warranty rights.
Arbitration and Legal Action
Some lemon laws require consumers to go through an arbitration process before filing a lawsuit. Others allow direct legal action against the manufacturer or dealer.
How Do I Know I Have a Valid Lemon Law Claim?
