Lemon Laws and How They Have Impacted Jeep Car Recalls
Purchasing a car calls for careful consideration if you are to find a reliable model that suits your needs. More importantly, you need to understand existing laws concerning the warranty, equity, insurance, and various other crucial aspects. Lemon laws are designed to protect buyers from costly repairs caused by performance inconsistency arising from the manufacturer. If your car’s components are breaking down despite being relatively new, you can claim free maintenance and even better, a replacement or a refund. Manufacturers are required to recall all vehicles with defective parts, compensating the buyers accordingly. However, not all breakdowns are covered and the car has to meet specific requirements.

If you purchase a car and have it break down within the first few weeks for no reason, your car warranty will cover the repairs. Simply take it back to the dealer and have it checked. If the problem persists, even after extensive repairs, the manufacturer is required to either purchase or replace the car.
States have varying requirements and many factors determine whether your vehicle qualifies as a lemon car. However, the ultimate goal is to protect buyers from purchasing defective cars. Some of the lemon law requirements include:
