Is Your Car or Truck a Lemon?

Lemon Laws Apply to Cars, Trucks, Boats, Recreational Vehicles and All Consumer Products

A common misconception of the consumer law is that the lemon law applies only to cars or trucks.  While this is true in many states, both California’s lemon law and the federal lemon law apply to all consumer products.  This includes motor homes and Recreational Vehicles (RVs), boats and other watercraft, motorcycles, and even household appliances and personal computers.  The controlling factor is not what kind of product it is, but whether it came with a written warranty.

There are some subtle differences between the way California’s lemon law treats cars and the way the law treats other consumer products.  In either case, however, if the warrantor cannot fix the product after a reasonable number of attempts, it should replace the product or refund the consumer’s money.

René Korper and staff produce RESULTS!

Please keep in mind that the vast majority of the cases that we handle – over 90% – settle without the need for a trial.  When the warrantor of a defective product chooses to go to trial against us, however, here are some of the results:

Saylan v. Mercury Marine:  Mr. and Mrs. Saylan purchased a vessel with two outboard Mercury Optimax engines.  The vehicle was purchased for marine research purposes.  The engines developed serious injector problems that caused the vessel, over time, to become totally unusable.  Mercury claimed that it had fixed all of the defects.

RESULT:            Purchase price of the engines refunded.
