Lemon Laws
Every state has legal provisions to protect consumers who have purchased faulty motor vehicles, but the laws vary considerably from state to state. For instance, some states extend these provisions to all passenger and commercial motor vehicles, while in others lemon law only relates to passenger vehicles purchased for personal transportation. Motor homes may or may not be covered under your state's lemon law, and only a handful of states include motorcycles.
In some states, lemon laws cover used and/or leased vehicles as well as new ones. Some states have also begun to enact lemon laws for certain other consumer items such as computers.
Different states also extend protections for varying time periods, and offer different opportunities for the seller to make repairs or cure the defect. In most states, it will be up to you to prove that you've provided adequate opportunity to repair under the law.
In some states, the duration of the protection is based on the warranty period, while in others it is defined by statute.
In most states, information about local lemon laws is available through the state Attorney General. If you think you may have a claim under your state's lemon law, check your state attorney general's website for information about the specific protections available in your state.
You should know that all state lemon laws have limitations regarding time, repair attempts, and/or mileage, so don't delay in getting the information you need. Continuing to drive your car, or even the simple passage of time, could cut off our recourse under your state's lemon law.
