What is a Lemon?

0

The American Heritage Dictionary defines a lemon as: “One that is or proves to be unsatisfactory” (Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston, 2nd College Ed., 1985). However, in an effort to further define such a broad term, the Lemon Law attempts to define certain situations which entitle consumers to their money back or a new vehicle. In a nutshell, any defect or nonconformity, or combination of defects, which is/are not repaired within a reasonable number of attempts or a reasonable amount of time, may entitle you to lemon law relief. Your vehicle does NOT have to be breaking down to be considered a lemon. In short, if you are aggravated enough to be reading this you may have a lemon.
