The descriptive term ‘lemon’ applies equally to a defunct or malfunctioning car as to a citrus fruit. The origin of this slang term is obscure. However, the fact remains that in a world on the move, a recalcitrant or basically defective automobile is something of a bane. Owning a ‘lemon’ is degrading socially and most definitely a major irritant.
The California Lemon law applies to many products, but has preeminence in the context of automobiles. California is one of the most motored and automobile-oriented states in America, and it should come as no surprise that it has definite laws concerning defective automobiles. The California Lemon Law protects consumers from the consequences of a purchase or lease of a defective car. The onus of a customer lies largely on the manufacturer.
Basically, the California Lemon Law holds the manufacturer of a car responsible for the proper and satisfactory functioning of the car while it is under its warranty period. If any defect is found at the time of purchase or if one develops in that period, the manufacturer is generally bound to repairing or replacing the car.
In California, the buyer or renter of a car it is protected by a specific set of laws that exist to ensure truth in lending and prevent deceptive practices. They guarantee that in applicable cases the defective car will be replaced and even incurred legal fees refunded. Their existence also means that the basic safety of the driver and passengers is enhanced, since greater care is taken in the manufacturing and leasing-out of cars.
