California Lemon Law: Know Your Rights!
A car or truck is the second largest purchase the average American makes in a lifetime. That’s why every consumer should take time to get as much information about the vehicle they consider buying as possible. Consumers should know not only how it works, how to maintain the car, but also know the law and most importantly includes the Lemon Law, both state and federal. There was a serious need to protect consumers and the California Lemon Law or the Song Beverly Consumer Protection Act have been designed and adopted.
Often after the purchase the consumers find out that the vehicle they bought has persistent defects, but still these buyers continue to show loyalty to the brand and even keep trying to work with the dealership long after the dealership and manufacturer should have replaced their lemon vehicles without being compelled to do so.
There are several very important points that the consumer should know about the law and his/her rights. Following is the list of most important information you can find on our blog.
• What defines a Lemon vehicle in California?
• What is a defect? And what is substantial (regards defects)?
• How does a Lemon get manufactured?
• Finding resources for help with your Lemon car, motor home, boat or motorcycle, such as NHTSA, Bureau or Automotive Repair and consumer watchdog groups.
• Arbitration: Is it a good thing or a bad thing?
• Lemon Laundering: Is it still going on in California? How does it affect your lemon vehicle?
The list goes on and on. Please feel free to suggest topics of interest to you, the reader.
