Do You Have a Lincoln Lemon?
Your vehicle has the potential to qualify as a ālemonā if it is still under warranty and has defects that the manufacturer is unwilling or unable to fix. Although laws vary from state to state, generally lemon law states that if your vehicle has a substantial impairment to the safety, use, or value of your vehicle, and Lincoln cannot repair it in a reasonable number of repair attempts then you might be driving a lemon. Another important thing to remember is that California Lemon Law requires the manufacturer to pay for the consumerās reasonable attorneyās fees and costs, if the consumer is deemed the prevailing party. This makes the law financially feasible for those who would otherwise not be capable of retaining a law firm.
