Erase In Legal Louisiana Lemon Law Forms For Free

Lemon laws at the state level typically only apply to cars sold under warranty, but the federal lemon law (known as the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act) also applies to other goods sold under warranty as well.

The manufacturer must provide the consumer or lessor with a replacement or refund within 30 days after an offer to transfer title by the consumer or lessor, or within 30 days after a decision by the informal dispute settlement procedure.

The Lemon Law states that a manufacturer has a legal duty to repair a new motor vehicle. A ?lemon? is defined as a new motor vehicle (it does not include newly leased or demonstrator vehicles, motorcycles, RVs, or mobile homes) that has a defect which substantially impairs the use and/or market value of the vehicle.

Louisiana law does not give buyers the same rights as they may have in another state. For Example: In Louisiana, car dealers are not required to give used car buyers a three-day right to cancel. Before you buy from a dealer, ask about the dealer's return policy. Get the return policy in writing.

The lemon law covers any nonconformity, which is defined as any specific or generic defect or malfunction, or any defect or condition that substantially impairs the use and/or market value of a motor vehicle.

While some lemon laws in other states don't cover used cars, Louisiana's may, depending on your warranty. If your car has been under repair for 45 days or more, or subject to repair 4 or more times for the same defect, you may be entitled to a refund or a replacement vehicle.
