Lemon laws are American state laws that provide a solution for buyers of cars that repeatedly fail to comply with quality standards and performance. These cars are called lemons. The federal lemon law (the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act) protects citizens of all states. Lemon laws vary by state and not necessarily to be used or hired vehicles. The rights granted to consumers by lemon laws may exceed the warranties expressed in purchase contracts. The Lemon Law is the common name of these laws, but each state has different names for the laws and acts.
In California, lemon laws cover anything mechanical, as do the federal lemon laws. Federal Lemon Law also provides that the guarantee can be made to pay attorney fees of the prevailing party in a successful Lemon Law claim, like most state lemon laws.
