National State Local – State Lemon Laws
Lemon laws provide consumers with a level of protection against cars and other vehicles that repeatedly fail to meet standards of quality and performance. The Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act is a federal lemon law that protects any U.S. citizen, while states have varying degrees of laws put in place. Depending on which state the motor vehicle is purchased in, the law may have different requirements and areas of defect that are covered.
The Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act covers a wide variety of products and protects every United States citizen. The act was put in place to combat merchants misusing express warranties and disclaimers and protect the consumer. By law, merchants and suppliers must clearly state the parameters of their warranty and supply buyers with a physical copy of the terms and conditions. As the laws pertain mainly to motor vehicles, the suppliers cannot limit coverage and replacement of parts to only one brand name or manufacturer. Points that are found to be ambiguous in the contract are also construed against the drafter.
Under the act, suppliers must replace any defective part or component free of charge or can issue the consumer a refund. State lemon laws vary in such areas as amount of coverage, what parts or components are covered within the warranty, and what types of vehicles are included. Although cars are the most common item that falls under lemon laws, other items such as RVs, boats, motorcycles, wheelchairs, and computers are all subject to the same laws as cars. The federal lemon laws cover any item that is mechanical, while different products are covered depending on the individual state.
Lemon laws do not only pertain to vehicles but also household appliances, boats, r v’s, computer’s, etc. All states have lemon laws in regards to these purchases. The only thing that varies from state to state is automobile purchasing. In a lot of cases you will have to get an attorney, depends on your particular situation. But be assured you will be protected and your problem taken care of.
Conclusion
It can be frustrating to keep taking your car into the dealership for the same problem over and over again. If this is happening to you, it’s possible your car is a lemon and you may want to investigate whether or not your car falls under your individual state’s definition of a lemon
