Land Rover Lemon Law Information
Land Rover has long been an iconic British car manufacturer. Land Rover’s motto is, “Go Beyond”. They stay true to their motto by blending a sporty and rugged high performance vehicle with a luxurious interior; making them extremely desirable to consumers around the globe. However, it is not uncommon for Land Rovers to have certain issues which can render them as a lemon under both state and federal laws. While each state has its own set of lemon laws, the lemon law in essence states that if your vehicle has a substantial impairment to the safety, use, or value of your vehicle, and Land Rover cannot repair it in a reasonable number of attempts then it could be considered a lemon.
Is Your Land Rover a Lemon?
A Land Rover that is under warranty and has defects that the manufacturer is unwilling or unable to fix can potentially be considered a lemon. It is important to know that each state has its own set of Lemon Laws. Generally, they state that if your vehicle has a substantial impairment to its safety, use, or value, and Land Rover cannot fix it then you might have a valid lemon law claim. When you purchase or lease a Land Rover, the manufacturer or its representative is responsible for upholding any express warranties it made. If you wind up with a lemon and the manufacturer won’t repurchase, replace or compensate you, you should speak to a Lemon Law attorney about your legal options.
