A lemon is best defined as a product that has defects or nonconformities and which cannot be repaired within a reasonable amount of time or a reasonable number of repair attempts under a manufacturer’s warranty. A consumer with a car, truck, or SUV with a warranty may seek lemon law relief after seeking multiple repairs or noticing repetitive problems with the vehicle.

The Lemon Law is designed to protect consumers that purchase new cars, trucks, SUVs and mini-vans. As of 1993 all fifty U.S. states have passed Lemon Laws. Each state has different standards and procedures, but all have similar coverage. There are options for new, used and leased vehicles.
