Lemon laws differ from state to state. The main objective of the lemon law is to protect you, as a consumer, from either defective products or services that do not deliver as promised or advertised. More commonly, cases involving the lemon law are those that pertain to newly purchased vehicles that are either defective or experiencing recurring problems that can not be repaired even after you or the manufacturer has attempted to fix the problem numerous times.
In general, you must exert some effort to have the defect repaired multiple times as a basic requirement. You must also report the problem directly to the manufacturer of your vehicle and not just to the dealer from whom you purchased the car. If the problem persists after you and the manufacturer have made several attempts to fix it, the vehicle can be considered a lemon. You must document all the steps taken to remedy the problem, whether they were made by you or the manufacturer. But filing of the case should also fall under a certain period of time upon purchase of the vehicle, or else you may forfeit any claim that comes with filing for the case. The lemon law also protects you as a consumer from any intimidation you may encounter from the manufacturer if they try to make you to withdraw the complaints you made about your defective property.
Since lemon laws differ in each state, it is best to hire an expert attorney to proceed with your case. Given the differences in state lemon laws, it is wise to look for an attorney that is familiar with your local state lemon law. A good lawyer will be able to obtain either a full refund or a replacement for your vehicle. Or, in cases where, for whatever reason, you are not covered by the lemon law, he will still be able to help you get some substantial compensation.
