In the early 1980s, the Lemon Law went into

and since the car is not working properly it

with your defective car properly.

Explanation of the Lemon Law
10
The best way to explain the Lemon law is that it
refers to specific state statue that provide
protection for consumers.
11
The Lemon Law helps protect consumers from the
abuse of buying a car that is not working due to
manufacture defects.
12
There is a certain amount of time and attempts
to repair a vehicle before its covered under
this statue.
13
Vehicle manufactures are required to make
multiple attempts to repair the car.
14
The government requires theses manufactures to
make a certain amount of attempts before the
Lemon law can be issued.
15
Dealerships will need to provide a rental for
your inconvenience.
16
Examples of the Lemon Law
17
For example, a lady purchased a car and had brake
issues right after she drove out of the
dealership.
18
The dealership was refusing to repair the
vehicle or classify it as a Lemon.
19
That is a serious violation of the state statue
for refusing to either repair or replace the
defective vehicle.
20
Another example would be a customer purchased a
car from a dealership, and transmission went out
and had to be replaced more than 3 times with
same issue.
21
In this situation the customer should go ahead
and file for the Lemon Law since the manufacture
or dealership cannot resolve the issue.
22
A refund or reimbursement is required by the
dealership for the customer to get back some
manufacturing costs.
23
The customer should even be reimbursed for the
time and suffering from this process so they are
able to buy another vehicle in the future.
24
Although each state has different requirements
for Lemon Laws, in order for these laws to apply,
the automobile must have been purchased with a
warranty.
