Lemon Law, a car buyer’s best friend, turns a feisty 20
In the past six years, more than 36,000 cars have been branded as lemons in California. The Lemon Law generated nearly $1 billion in relief to their owners, according to the state Department of Consumer Affairs.
The Lemon Law is stronger than when it took effect in January 1983, [lemon law author Assemblywoman Sally] Tanner said. It originally said an owner was entitled to a replacement or refund if the car wasn’t fixed after a ‘reasonable number of repair attempts’ in the first 12 months or 12,000 miles.
Usually 3 failed repair attempts are required, however 2 failed repair attempts are sufficient if the problem is severe or life threatening, or 30 days or more at the dealership for random repairs.
I am wonderign where I can find law firms for Lemon Law in other states?
