What are the Maine Lemon Laws?

Answer:
If you are planning to move to Maine, the Pine Tree

State (or "Vacationland" as some call it), you may want to learn about the Maine Lemon Laws.

Described as:
Maine Lemon Law
Chapter 203-A, Title 10, § 1161 - 1169

Maine, like most states, has Lemon Laws which protect consumers from damages resulting from new motor vehicles not complying with manufacturer's express warranties.

Purchasers of new motor vehicles have three years or 18,000 miles, whichever occurs first, to register a formal complaint to the manufacturer or authorized dealer that a vehicle is not in compliance with express warranties.

In addition, reasonable attempts for repairing the alleged non-compliance must be allowed before the manufacturer is required to replace the vehicle or refund monies.

Maine Lemon Laws require that consumers be given clear information regarding their rights under such laws in a conspicuous manner along with the ownership manuals and materials.
