Do I Have A Lemon?
If the paint is peeling, the light switch came out when you pulled on it, the car makes funny noises but otherwise drives just fine, or you found 10 things you don`t like about your new car but none of them prevent you from driving it, then No, you do not have a Lemon.
If the brakes don`t work, the car won`t go into reverse gear, the darn thing won`t start on cold mornings or hot afternoons, the rear door opens all by itself, the driver`s seat wobbles, or the car chugs along at 30 mph when it should be going 50 mph, then Yes, you may have a Lemon, providing you`ve given the manufacturer an opportunity to repair the defect.
In most States, 10 different defects during the Warranty Period does not brand the car as a Lemon. In some States, a single defect that might cause Serious Injury makes your car a Lemon if the manufacturer cannot fix the problem within 1 attempt.
You may have a Lemon, but if you do nothing to protect your Consumer Rights, such as documenting your Repairs and allowing the Manufacturer a chance to fix the problem(s), you lose all rights under the various State Warranty Acts.
