All states have enacted their own Warranty Acts and many have enacted specific statutes that cover automobile warranties. To find out more about the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, click on the link below. Before we can address that, we must first determine if the vehicle is eligible for Lemon Law. The vehicle must be used part of the time for personal, family, or household purposes. If the vehicle is used exclusively for business purposes, the Lemon Law will not apply, but other laws may.
Laws do vary from state to state and between new, used and leased vehicles.
Generally, the vehicle must have defects covered by a warranty. Keep in mind, though, if it is not covered by a warranty, it is not covered by Lemon Law. The first thing to do is to make absolutely sure that when you bring the vehicle in for service, the service advisor writes up your concern on the repair order, exactly as you describe it. Before you sign the repair order, check the date, time in, and odometer reading to verify they are correct. If you do find discrepancies, have them changed before you sign the repair order.
