What Makes a Car a Lemon?
A “lemon” refers to a car or truck that, despite multiple attempts to repair it or an extended period in the shop, continues to have a defect or condition that substantially impairs its use, value, or safety. Your vehicle must meet certain requirements to qualify as a lemon under state and federal lemon laws.
The requirements vary by state. However, generally, for lemon laws to apply, your car must meet the following guidelines:
- It has a substantial defect that occurred within a certain period of time or number of miles after you bought the car.
- The defect is covered by the vehicle’s warranty.
- It has not been fixed after a reasonable number of repair attempts or has been in the shop for an extended period.
