🍋 Know Your Rights: Lemon Law! 🍋 If you're dealing with a "lemon" car that seems to have endless issues that can't be fixed, the Lemon Law can protect you! If your new vehicle has substantial defects covered under warranty and the manufacturer can't repair them after a reasonable number of attempts, you may be eligible for relief under the Lemon Law.
