State Lemon Law Information

Most states have passed some form of lemon law to protect car buyers in situations where they have purchased a vehicle that is defective beyond repair. Frequently, these laws apply only to new cars, but you should check with your state to be sure. These laws may entitle you to a replacement or refund, though you must give the manufacturer a reasonable amount of time to address the situation and repair the vehicle.
