Understanding Lemon Laws in North Carolina
The North Carolina Lemon Law, known in legal-speak as the New Motor Vehicles Warranties Act, covers new cars, motorcycles, pick-up trucks, and certain vans; it does not cover used cars.Under this law, a vehicle manufacturer is supposed to repair any defects that jeopardize the vehicle's value, use and/or safety within the first 24 months or 24,000 miles (whichever comes first).
For your vehicle to be covered under the NC Lemon Law the following must happen:
- The problem must be covered under the manufacturer's warranty.
- You must alert the manufacturer of the defect in writing and give the manufacturer no more than 15 days to correct the problem.
- There must have been four or more auto repair attempts by a mechanic to fix the problem but it still exists. Or the vehicle has been out of service for a cumulative total of 20 or more business days within a 12-month period.
Hiring a Lemon Law Attorney
If it really looks like you’ve got a lemon on your hands and your claim goes to a hearing, it's in your best interest to hire a Lemon Law lawyer; otherwise you'll be going up against one of the manufacturer's representatives, whose only purpose is to defend against lemon car claims.Representatives are highly experienced, giving them a decided upper hand, but you can counter this advantage with a Lemon Law lawyer.
