All 50 states have Lemon Laws that establish procedures designed to resolve consumer's complaints with passenger vehicles that have chronic mechanical and safety problems. These Lemon Laws allow the consumer to obtain a purchase price refund or replacement vehicle when his or her original vehicle has a substantial problem that has not been repaired within a reasonable number of attempts, or has been out of service for a specified number of days. The state Lemon Laws are not uniform. However, there are certain basic characteristics that are common to all the various state Lemon Law statutes.
It is very important that you 1) Immediately notify the manufacturer or its dealer of any defect that substantially impairs the use, market value, or safety of your vehicle (a nonconforming condition under the Warranty), 2) Keep a copy of all repair receipts for your records, and 3) Keep a "memo-style" record of each and every contact you have with the manufacturer and its dealer. And contact an attorney to help with your case.
