If you purchased a vehicle that you feel might be a lemon, you might want to discuss the situation with a Florida Lemon Law attorney. The Lemon Law was enacted in Florida to protect customers who purchased a vehicle and other goods that don’t live up to recognized quality standards. The Lemon Law can be applied to motorcycles, boats, trucks, RVs, cars, and other products.
When you ask a Florida Lemon Law attorney what is considered a lemon in the state, they will explain that this term typically applies to new motor vehicles with severe defects. These defects impact the value, safety, or functionality of the vehicle. Lemon may also apply to customer goods that have serious defects.
The Lemon Law requires that a manufacturer either to purchase back the product with serious defects or replace it with a similar item. For a vehicle to be a lemon, it has to be out of commission for 30 days or the manufacturer must be unable to repair the car after several attempts. Specific problems with motor vehicles can automatically qualify them as lemons.
There is no federal Lemon Law. The classifications for what a lemon is in Florida may vary slightly from what is considered a lemon in another state. However, the general idea behind Lemon Laws in all states, including the manufacturer’s responsibility and the customer’s rights, are pretty much the same.
