The type of problem you are having must be covered under the warranty.
What is the lemon law?
If your vehicle is under warranty, lemon laws require your vehicle manufacturer to repair your vehicle and, if they cannot do so after a reasonable number of attempts, they must either replace or refund your vehicle. There is a federal lemon law, known as the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (“Mag-Moss”), as well as state lemon laws to protect consumers from getting stuck with “lemons.”
