State Lemon Laws and Federal Warranty Laws are designed to protect buyers of new motor vehicles. In fact, nationwide consumers dealing with a lemon may be protected under either the State Lemon Law, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (Also known as the federal lemon law), or both.
Under these protection laws, you may be eligible to receive a new vehicle, a complete repurchase, or compensation if your lemon car, truck, or motorcycle is facing defects and has been in the shop repeatedly for extended periods under your motor vehicle warranty.
