United States Although the exact criteria vary by state, new vehicle lemon laws require that an auto manufacturer repurchase a vehicle that has a significant defect that the manufacturer is unable to repair within a reasonable amount of time.

In Canada, there are no definitive lemon laws in place either federally or provincially. However, there are standards that Canadian dealers and manufacturers must adhere to. These standards include disclosures and arbitration processes that are in place to protect car buyers.

Lemon laws apply to defects that affect the use, safety, or value of a vehicle or product. If the product cannot be repaired successfully after a reasonable number of attempts, the manufacturer must repurchase or replace it.

Drafting Excellent Legal Letters Start by giving readers context so they immediately understand the letter's purpose. Clearly differentiate facts from opinions. Be explicit about what you need from clients. The tone of your client letters should strike a balance between professionalism and approachability.

The Lemon Law Presumption applies if all the following are true: The problems your car is having are covered under the manufacturer's warranty. The problem first occurred within 18 months of delivery, or within 18,000 miles, whichever came first. (For major defects after this time frame, talk to an attorney.)

You can pursue compensation under the Lemon Law by dealing directly with the dealer or manufacturer. If your attempts to receive compensation aren't successful, Lemon Law arbitration is available through the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation (OCABR).

The more attempts made to repair a lemon vehicle, the more likely your chances of winning your lemon law case. Few lemon cases are decided after one or two attempts to repair the vehicle. Once you get to three or more unsuccessful repair attempts, the likelier your case will be considered for lemon law.

Components to a Well-Written Lemon Law Letter An explanation of which state's lemon law is invoked. A statement that explains how you came to possess the vehicle; the vehicle's make, model, year, and VIN; the date you came into possession of the vehicle; the dealer and location where you purchased the vehicle.

Since these defects substantially impair the use, value or safety of my vehicle, I am hereby allowing you one final opportunity to repair my vehicle. If these repairs are not completed within 10 calendar days of receipt of this letter, I am entitled to a refund calculated in ance with the Lemon Law.
