Finding Reliable Transportation

There are very few things more satisfying than buying a new car. For an unlucky few, they wish these were the only negatives that they had to worry about.

These unlucky few are the people who find themselves with an automobile that will, after much frustration and exhaustion on the part of the owner, be classified on a lemon. And no matter when it happens, it is extremely inconvenient (and often quite expensive.) When does "regular wear and tear" flow into the realm of having a true lemon.

It can also include just a single repair attempt on a portion of the car where failure could be a life threatening situation. Each state has their own lemon law warranty act and each of them defines what will make a vehicle a lemon. For instance, in

California, a lemon automobile can be summarized as follows:

Vehicles Covered by California Lemon Law - California lemon law covers anynew motor vehicle used primarily for family, personal or household purposes. it also includes the chassis portion of motor homes.Repair Interval / Coverage Period Details - To be considered a lemon law vehicle in California , the vehicle must either be out of service for 30 calendar days or have 2 repair attempt for a defect that could cause death or a serious injury or have 4 repairs for the same defect. The coverage period is for 18 months or 18,000 miles, whichever occurs first. (Lemon law summaries and the statutes for all 50 states and Washington DC can be found at http://www.lemonlawresources.com.)

If you believe your car is a lemon, it is very important that you have properrecords to show this. You need to do this for two reasons. First, you will need these records when making a claim for restitution. Second, for these "mystery" problems, dealers will try many different things and it may not be clear to an adjuster that they were all related unless you ensure this is the case on the receipts. Other states have arbitration panels you must deal with to get restitution. So as frustrating as this situation may be, it is best to persue all state sponsored remedies before seeking legal help.
What happens if you win?

If your vehicle is determined to be a lemon under your state's law, you areentitled to a refund or a comparable replacement vehicle.

What happens to the car after the manufacture takes it back?However, not all states require thisand if the car was transferred from one state to another, the information maynot follow on the title issued from the new state. "There is nothing worse than realizing that the vehicle you purchased is not running the way it should, and in fact this can be downright dangerous.

It is essential however, that the dealer has been given an opportunity to correct the problems before the courts will determine the automobile is a lemon. Keep any receipts and records for the repair of the defects in your vehicle, and any receipts pertaining to the vehicle's breakdown (such as cab fare).

Be diligent with your documentation, even during the frustration. Read your state's lemon law and follow the documentation requirements to the letter.
