The
Lemon Law Problem
The lemon law problem is defective vehicles! Every year in the U.S. auto makers buy back more than 50,000 cars, trucks and vans, and that's not counting motorcycles, RV's, and mobilehomes. Consumer groups say that most of these vehicles are "lemons" - vehicles with some sort of manufacturing defect that cannot be fixed by the dealer.
The National Association of Consumer Agency Administrators and the Consumer Federation of America report that consumer complaints related to used car sales rank first, auto repair complaints rank third, and complaints related to new car sales rank fourth. In other words, three of the top four consumer complaints and consumer fraud complaints involve cars.
Most states now have consumer protection, "lemon laws" in the area of new car sales and leases, and under certain circumstances used car sales. These laws state that if your situation qualifies, the manufacturer has to make good on any vehicle which qualifies as a "lemon," which you purchased or leased for personal or most business uses.
