Lemon Law

Asked by a user in Central Islip, NY - over 3 years ago.

I am a NY attorney that practices lemon law, but in order to truly give you legal advise, I would have to see your purchase documents and the repair information you do have. However, here are some general guidelines to consider. You should bring the car and demand they fix it under the warranty. If they refuse, which seems likely, keep the vehicle at the dealership as many days as possible until you can satisfiy the lemon law. The problems you have with the vehicle may be covered under the...

NY State Used Lemon Law.

Asked by a user in Newfane, NY - over 3 years ago.

Whether or not you have a claim or not will likely depend on how many days the vehicle was out of service for the power steering pumps within the warranty period. If you have 10 or more days out of service during that time period, you may have a viable case. Because the transmission and radiator were likely completed outside of the warranty period, you likely don't have a recovery for those claims. Definately collect your repair records and send them to an attorney for review.

Can your vehicle be seized if you were sold a lemon?

Asked by a user in Brockton, MA - over 3 years ago.

Who seized the vehicle? The loan company or the dealership? If it's the loan company, you should still be able to sue the dealership under the lemon law and get your money back.

What is the lemon law for air conditioning/heating units?

Asked by a user in - over 3 years ago.

You should take advantage of the federal warranty law known as the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act. If the manufacturer failed to honor the warranty on the air conditioning unit, you could bring claims under the Mag-Moss to collect damanges and/or force the company to give you another unit. Plus, this law provides that if you are successful, you have the ability to also potentially collect attorney's fees. Definately congtact a local Maryland attorney who handles Mag-Moss claims for assistance.

Can I sue a car dealder for not disclosing that a car that I purchased was in an accident

Asked by a user in Simi Valley, CA - over 3 years ago.

You sure can, but your claim would be much stronger if thre is some proof they knew about it. How far before you purchased it was the vehicle in an accident? Were there signs on the car that after a reasonable inspection the dealer would have known it was in an accident? There are some questions that need to be answered first before truly determining how strong of a case you could have. Definately contact a California attorney that deals with lemon law/breach of warranty type of claims....

Do I have a lemon case on a mobile home

Asked by a user in Texas - over 3 years ago.

I'm not familiar with the details of the Texas Lemon law, but at a minimum, you would have claims for breach of warranty under the Magnusson-Moss Federal Warranty Act and can seek damages and attorney's fees under that law. Definately contact a lawyer ASAP. You can try Travis Shackelford with Consumer Legal Services, PC at 734-261-4700.

Do I have a case for Lemon Law,or arbitration?

Asked by a user in Krum, TX - over 3 years ago.

I would strongly disagree with Ms. Trevino's comments. You always should use an attorney. If you go through arbitration and lose, that evidence can usually be used against you later. An attorney should be able to represent you at no cost because at a minimum, you should be able to get attorney's fees under the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act. Get an attorney, never go it alone. You can try calling Travis Shackelford at Consumer Legal Services, PC at 734-261-4700. I believe he is a Texas...

SLANDER IN THE WORKPLACE

Asked by a user in Belleville, IL - about 4 years ago.

You have your question listed under Lemon Law. Unfortunately, you really need a labor and employment lawyer to help you answer your question. I'm simply not qualified in this area of law to give you good advise. I wish you the best of luck with the situation though.

Automobil sales contract

Asked by a user in Kelso, WA - over 4 years ago.

This is a typical move by the dealership that is so common its unbelievable. It really takes a lawyer specialized in this area of law in order to give you the most accurate advice. Although I am not a California attorney, my firm does have a California office (www.lemonauto.com). I'm betting you likely can void the contract and take your trade back, but you really need a California lawyer to give you the best advice.
