A lemon law for new cars is supposed to help you if you purchased a car and there was some sort of flaw that prevented it from being repaired. Mostly this is geared for new cars but can be applicable for used cars as well.

Lemon laws for new cars vary from state to state and most of them cover new cars as a matter of course. Lemon laws for new vehicles will mostly cover the parts of the car that would make it unusable if you are unable to get it fixed. This includes the transmission, the axles, the steering column, suspension, the electrical system, and of course the brakes. If any of those parts are not fixable; or if the dealer does not want to replace your vehicle then you are covered by the lemon law in your area.

What are not covered are the cosmetic or inconsequential parts of the car. For instance while air conditioning may seem vital to some; this may not be covered in your area. Clearly you need to be really aware of what is and what is not covered in your area in order to get what you believe is due compensation for your troubles.

Most states will require the dealer to either give you a full refund with any taxes you were charged or require your dealer to give you an equivalent car. However, in some cases you may have to pay several hundred dollars for any mileage you may have put on your previous vehicle. This is to compensate the dealer for any lost equity in that vehicle.

Now the amount of repair attempts that are considered reasonable is something that is different between each state. You can safely figure however that if you took your car in four times or more and your dealer was unable to repair the problem then you could be covered under the lemon law.

As well you are covered under your states consumer protection laws if your car was ever in a flood, was previously stolen, had a tampered odometer, was a laundered lemon, or if your car was ever a police car. While this is strictly not the lemon law these conditions may apply in your case and you should consult with a lawyer in how you may obtain the proper compensation for your troubles.

Some California lemon laws for new cars only protect you if this is to be used for personal use only. There may be other laws that protect you if you use this for your primary business vehicle. Just be sure to check to see how you may be covered under the lemon laws for new cars when you talk to a California lemon law attorney today!

In order to qualify for this provision you first must insure your car came with the manufacturers warranty. This can also be used if you bought a used car but again part of the warranty must still be valid in order for you to use the California lemon law.

Now if the car has significant amount of defects that renders the car unusable for a period of 30 days in a 18 month period you may qualify. As well if you have to repeatedly take the car in to be repaired, in California this is four times, then you also qualify. For safety issues you do not even have to wait until the four repair jobs are done as you only need two to qualify. This would include steering and brakes of course because losing those would cause you to be unsafe on the road.

The process once you decide to hire a California lemon law attorney is really fast. Typically most cases are resolved within 30 to 45 days if not just a bit longer. Now of course you did waste a lot of time trying to get your car fixed over the past several months so this may seem like a giant relief to you.

You are not required to obtain an attorney in order to pursue a case using the California lemon law. However, as many companies will have teams of lawyers hiring one may just be the best idea as then you will be fully equipped to deal with anything that comes up.

The law is actually pretty clear and simple once you sit down and read it. There really is no ambiguous language as I believe the creators decided to write the law so even the layman can understand it.

In order to ensure your case has the best chance it is always best to come prepared. Make sure you have all the invoices, documented time spent in the shop, any fees or taxes paid, and the cost of the car. As well it is important to write down notes from any shop personnel you may have spoken to regarding your car. Being prepared is the best way to really create an iron clad case.

Whether or not you choose to go with a lawyer to fight your California lemon law case is up to you. However, you must be prepared to speak before a judge or give your story to a mediator if you choose that route. Most people are very successful with these lemon law cases whether or not they choose to have representation or not.

For used cars, the possibility of getting a lemon is even greater. This is due sometimes to deliberate manipulation of sellers to make the used cars more attractive. This is called auto fraud. For example, they could alter the odometer so that the reading is a few miles less than the actual mileage. This increases the car’s value unfairly, and thus reaps dishonest profit.

Another modus operandi is failure to disclose flood damage, which dramatically reduces a car’s value. But it is the defects that cause accidents which are difficult to detect in the first few months. Take Toyota’s vehicles, for example, which had sticking accelerator pedals. Prior to recall of these vehicles, the defective part has caused numerous road accidents, and sometimes tragically resulted in deaths. This is the reason that most states implement strict lemon laws. Take California, for example. It is said that the state’s automobile lemon law, or used car law, is one of the best in the country. Consumer protection is ensured to the extent that even attorneys’ fees are charged to the manufacturers, not to mention reimbursement or replacement of the defective vehicle.

Unfortunately, most consumers are unaware of this provision. Because they do not want to go to the trouble of litigation, they allow themselves to be manipulated into a settlement that gives them far less than the amount they deserve. They are allowed to think that if they bring the matter to court, they would be taking a huge risk that could cost them lawyers’ fees in their defense and the settlement amount, not to mention the time and added stress that come with filing claims or litigation. Of course these are all gibberish, because the law often sides with consumers. And worse, there are buyers who opt to trade-in, at a huge loss, their defective vehicle for a newer one, all in the name of avoiding the hassles of going to court.

This has got to stop. It’s time for consumers to know their rights. They are entitled to retain California lemon law attorneys, and to get them for free. More lives could be saved, and consumers protected, if they only knew their rights.
