Lemon laws

Lemon laws are consumer protection regulations that help buyers of new vehicles if their car has serious, recurring problems that cannot be fixed after reasonable attempts. If a vehicle is deemed a "lemon," the manufacturer is usually required to replace the vehicle or offer a refund. These laws vary by state but generally specify how many repair attempts are needed and the time frame for repairs. Lemon laws aim to ensure consumers are not stuck with defective vehicles that impair safety or value, providing a clearer process for resolving such issues.
