What is a Lemon Law?

Answer:
A lemon law entitles a customer to compensation
or replacement options on a new vehicle that has a significant defect which could not be repaired by the manufacturer. If your vehicle has a defect which impacts its safety, use or value, and you have given the manufacturer ample chance to repair it without seeing any change, you have a lemon.


Lemon laws differ from state to state in the agencies of arbitration, the number of chances to repair allowed to the manufacturer, the amount of compensation, and the period within which a lemon has to be reported to the manufacturer.

If you feel you purchased a Lemon it's best to consult with an Attorney that specializes in Lemon Laws of your State. 

Remember, always ask the seller if the vehicle has been wrecked, flooded or damaged in any way.  Under law, they are required to give you that information.  It's a good idea to get a carfax report on the vehicle. If a claim has been turned into a Car Insurance company then it will show up in a carfax report.
