BBB Lemon law - Resources

Lemon Law Overview

At Allen Stewart, P.C., we understand the frustration and financial strain that comes with purchasing a vehicle that fails to meet basic quality and performance standards. Referred to as "lemons," these defective vehicles can often seem like insurmountable problems for consumers. However, lemon laws provide legal recourse for individuals who find themselves stuck with these faulty vehicles. Each state has its own specific lemon laws, but the overarching goal is to protect consumers from being saddled with defective automobiles.

Better Business Bureau (BBB)

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) plays a crucial role in helping consumers resolve disputes with manufacturers or dealerships regarding defective vehicles. While the BBB itself doesn’t enforce lemon laws, it supports consumers by facilitating dispute resolution processes, offering an alternative to formal legal action.

Lemon Law Disputes

Lemon law disputes arise when a consumer believes their vehicle is a lemon and the manufacturer or dealership disagrees or fails to make an acceptable offer to remedy the situation. It's in these disputes that legal advice and representation can become invaluable.

Lemon Law Complaint Process

The process of filing a lemon law complaint typically involves several steps, beginning with the consumer presenting their case to the manufacturer or dealership. If this doesn’t result in a satisfactory resolution, the consumer can then file a complaint with the BBB or, as many of our clients choose to do, engage a legal representative to pursue their claim further.

BBB Lemon Law Assistance

For those opting to go through the BBB, the organization offers an Auto Line program in some states. This program provides arbitration between the consumer and the manufacturer, aiming to reach a resolution without needing to go to court.

Lemon Law Rights and Protections

Under lemon laws, consumers are afforded specific rights and protections. These typically include the right to a refund or replacement vehicle if your car is determined to be a lemon. The specifics can vary by state, which is why it's critical to consult with attorneys who are well-versed in your state's laws.
