Imagine the feeling of driving off the lot in a brand-new car. Everything rides smoothly, and the new-car smell is exhilarating. Then, after some weeks, the car starts to perform differently. Something is wrong, but there should not be because it’s a new car.
If a car repair isn’t resolved after a fair number of attempts during a particular window of time, the car is declared a lemon. Getting fair compensation for replacing it can be an intimidating and lengthy process. Fortunately, lemon law attorneys have seen many cases where a car owner was sold a lemon. If the owner has made reasonable attempts at repairs on the vehicle unsuccessfully, and still within a month to one year of its purchase, lemon law attorneys have a history of getting reasonable settlements.
A “lemon” is a new car that was sold in inadequate quality. Although it is new, it displays substantial manufacturing issues that would instantly make anyone regret the purpose.
We like to say, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” When it comes to cars, though, getting a lemon means calling a lawyer. Strict lemon laws car holds dealers accountable for selling quality vehicles.
