Many vehicle problems can be identified and repaired by your franchised dealership right from the start, or by the 2nd visit. Sometimes a visit with the Service Manager at the 2nd visit can result in a potential repeated problem being resolved right away. Other times vehicles have a chronic problem (or problems) that despite repeated visits to the dealership (not to mention countless days in the shop) turn out to be “lemons.” This is why each state has a Lemon Law. It’s when despite your best efforts the vehicle just turns out to be chronically defective, and needs to be repurchased or replaced.
Sometimes the old adage “what you do say can hurt you” can be an accurate statement when it comes to Lemon Law claim. Consumers are not generally versed in law, civil litigation, speaking with automobile manufacturers or their “customer assistance centers,” or Lemon Laws. The consumer should consider getting professional advice from an experienced Lemon Law attorney that knows and understands the Lemon Law in your state.
You think you have a “lemon” – who do you call first?
