Lemon Law: The Manufacturer's Obligation

The problem must be a substantial one in order to qualify. It must be one that significantly impairs the use, value, or safety of the vehicle. If a vehicle qualifies as a lemon the obligation of the the manufacturer is to repurchase or replace it, at the option of the consumer.

The obligation of anyone who offers a warranty is really very simple;

"...if the manufacturer or its representative in this state does not service or repair the goods to conform to the applicable express warranties after a reasonable number of attempts, the manufacturer shall either replace the goods or reimburse the buyer in an amount equal to the purchase price..."

The requirements of the lemon law are very technical, and the assistance of a lawyer is important to protect your rights.
