5) Most of the people that actually go the distance will settle for their attorney fees and a couple of thousand dollars.

However, if your warranty covers both the parts provided for a repair and the labor involved in making that repair, the Act does apply to you. By providing people with a way of learning what warranty coverage is offered on a product before they buy, the Act actually gives them a way to know exactly what they should expect if something goes wrong, and it also goes a long way in increasing customer satisfaction. You might be wondering how you can win a case when the repair records given to me by the dealer state that the problem was never found.

The first thing that helps you in dealing with your new lemon vehicle is to first know for a fact that you have a lemon. If the paint is peeling, or if the light switch came out when you pulled on it, or if the car makes weird sounds but basically rides well this does not constitute a lemon.

However, if the brakes don't work, the car won't go into reverse, it won't start on cold mornings or hot afternoons, or the car barely runs at 30 mph when it should be going 50 mph, then you may have a lemon. This of course, only applies if you have given the manufacturer an opportunity to repair it.
In most states, 10 different defects during the warranty period do not constitute that the car is a lemon. In some states, a single defect that might cause serious injury makes your car a lemon if the manufacturer cannot fix the problem within 1 attempt.
You may have a lemon, but if you do nothing to protect your consumer rights, such as keeping track of all repairs and letting the manufacturer have a chance to fix the problem, you could lose all rights under the various State Warranty Acts. Lets look at these next.
