If this sounds familiar, you may be the owner of a lemon. Here are five tips to make your situation a little less sour. All 50 states have some sort of “lemon law” offering consumers protection against dysfunctional cars. To find the law in your state, go to your state attorney general’s Web site or call for details. A lemon is typically defined as a car or truck that has been out of service for a total of 30 days or that has been brought back for the same repair at least four times. You’ll want to keep careful records and hang on to copies of any repairs, receipts and notes of all conversations you have with a dealership. Keep a personal calendar of your visits to the dealership and the number of days the car is in the shop. If the problem is visible, take photographs or videotape the car. You’ll need this if the dealership becomes argumentative with you and refuses to fix the problem. More : money.cnn.com |
