New Lemon Law Network
Is your new car running funny? Can't find the source of the problem? You may have bought a lemon. Know your rights.
(PRWEB) July 27, 2006 -- What exactly is a lemon law? In the dictionary a lemon law is explained as a law obligating manufactures to repair, replace, or refund the price of motor vehicles that prove to be defective. The lemon law is designed to protect consumers that purchase new vehicles. All fifty states in the United States have lemon laws, but each state has different principles and procedures. But how do you know what defects qualify your vehicle, and how do you prove it? Basically, if your car has been repaired for the same defect four or more times and the problem is still occurring, you have a lemon. Of course, the defect must be something significant which substantially hinders the vehicle’s use, value or safety. The lemon law covers a wide range of defects including but not limited to these:
- Engine problems
- Transmission problems
- Water leaks
- Paint defects
- Electrical problems
- Brake problems
- Steering problems
- Vibrations
- Bad smells
- Rattles
- And many other defects not listed here.
If your vehicle has other defects that do not fall under your state’s lemon law, you may be able to make a claim under other state and federal laws that protect owners of new and used vehicles. The best news is that you are not stuck with a defective vehicle. You have rights under the Lemon Laws which are defined by each state and the warranty your vehicle came with.
A new lemon law network was created this week (http://lemonlawnetwork.org) to easily allow people with car troubles find their states lemon law and attorneys in their area. Every day lemons roll off the lot to consumers, but if you know your rights and find an attorney you can get back what is rightfully yours.
