WHAT IS THE LEMON LAW

• The lemon law is an administrative proceeding
  which allows a purchaser of a defective vehicle
  to receive a refund or new vehicle. Under the New
  Jersey lemon law, the purchaser must prove the
  following
• 1. The same problem has been repaired
  three or more times,
• 2. The existence of the problem affects
  the use, value, or safety of the vehicle.
• 3. The problem persists after the
  manufacturer's last chance repair.
• 4. The problem meets the lemon law
  mileage criteria, i.e., the letter giving the
  manufacturer the final opportunity to repair the
  vehicle was sent before 18,000 miles
• All of these criteria must be met to proceed
  under the New Jersey lemon law. A failure to
  understand the requirements of New Jersey law is
  the chief reason why auto manufacturers win over
  two thirds of the cases submitted to the Division.

LEADING MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT THE LEMON LAW

• 1. If my case does not qualify for the lemon law
  there is little I can do. We regularly take cases
  that do not meet the lemon law criteria and file
  them in court. All purchasers of defective
  products have a legal right to compensation. We
  frequently take cases which do meet the mileage
  or repair criteria of the lemon law, bring them
  in court, and secure compensation or other relief
  for the buyer. We call these breach of warranty
  claims rather than lemon law cases.
• 2. I have three repairs for the same problem, so
  I know I qualify for the lemon law. No. Remember
  the problem must continue to exist and
  substantially impair use, value, or safety. Many
  people have significant problems with their cars,
  but once the problem has been fixed, they no
  longer have lemon law claims. They may still have
  breach of warranty claims which can be brought in
  court.
• 3. I have had many problems with the car so my
  case is very strong. The lemon law is written to
  provide relief for a particular problem which has
  been repair three or more times. There is no
  provision in the lemon law to combine several
  little problems to make one big one. Imagine a
  person going to a doctor. If he said, I have a
  bad cough, pain in my left heel, an itch in my
  arm, some trouble sleeping, and depression the
  doctor probably would not take any of the
  problems very seriously. Likewise, the consumer
  who says the car has brake problems, transmission
  problems, a water leak, and suspension problem
  trivializes any substantial problem he or she
  has.
• 4. Once you meet the lemon law criteria, you
  simply calculate the statutory formula for
  reimbursement. Remember that prevailing in a
  lemon law claim is not always an easy task.
  Therefore cases may be settled in a variety of
  ways to reduce the risk of an adverse decision. 
  We will provide recommendations and advice, but
  the client will make the ultimate choice.

WARRANTY CASES OUTSIDE THE LEMON LAW

• The New Jersey lemon law has various
  requirements. However, we have successfully
  brought many cases for breach of warranty which
  did not meet the criteria of the lemon law and
  secured monetary compensation for the problems
  the consumer had experienced.
