Barbara McGarvey, a Venango County kennel owner, had high hopes when she bought her 1996 Land Rover. She and her late husband had been happy with a similar model. Besides, she was paying a premium price for what she thought was a premium sport utility vehicle. She took it as a bad sign, though, when her check-engine light came on less than four months after she bought the Rover. Unfortunately, that light was only the first of many problems to come. By the time the Pittsburgh area dealership where she bought the car could see her, she noticed the rear cargo window had fogged over and the taillights weren’t working. The sunroof leaked, the ABS light stayed on for miles, performance was sluggish and fuel economy slipped to about 10 mpg. According to complaints lodged with her dealership, the air conditioning scarcely worked and the rear… |

Only last August, Chrysler announced that it would pay more than $16 million to 38,600 people across the U.S. whose "brand-new" cars had in fact sometimes been test-driven hundreds of miles with the odometers disconnected. Now investigators have discovered that the giant automaker sold, bought back and then resold 392 defective cars in New York without telling their new owners about their mechanically troubled past. Under the state's so-called lemon law, automakers must notify the department of motor vehicles as well as any future buyers when they repurchase flawed automobiles. Chrysler, which blames the mix-up on human error, agreed last week
The Philadelphia Inquirer Consumer Watch Column.
Dec. 15--Pennsylvania was among the first states to enact a "lemon law" -- a 1984 statute that protects people who buy cars that have stubborn, seemingly intractable problems. This week, after years of pressure by consumer advocates, it became one of the last states to fill an increasingly gaping hole in that law: extending protection to the growing number of people who lease new cars rather than buy them. It's a right that New Jerseyans have had since that state's lemon law went into effect in 1989. So do those who lease cars in Delaware and 37 other states. In
Lawyer has terrible luck with lemons
A 2006 yellow Corvette coupe wearing a LEMN LAW license plate was delivered to Megna March 9 but was in the repair shop for nine of the first 10 days he owned it. Thirty shop days in one year and he'll have another lemon on his hands, though he was back behind the wheel this week. Needless to say, Megna, 61, of Brookfield, is taking notes. "I'm very meticulous," he said. "I'm watching these people all the time." He's written a book on the subject, "Bring On Goliath: Lemon Law Justice in America," that got a huge boost in sales after the Washington
Chesapeake, Va.-Based Business Helps Used-Car Buyers Avoid Lemons.
Four years ago, Tyrone Jarvis had an idea for his own business: The Lemon Patrol would offer thorough, bumper-to-bumper inspections for prospective used-car buyers. The business would cater to people without a trusted mechanic. It would be speedy, completely mobile and impartial, because he wouldn't do repairs or recommend mechanics. But that idea was all Jarvis had. Like many eager entrepreneurs, he started without a solid business plan, and his business suffered. The Lemon Patrol's prices were too low. Profits were next to nothing. Marketing was off-target. "After being in business a few months, I realized that a plan would
