"You bought a car and it's not meeting quality and performance standards that were represented to you on the sales lot when the salesperson you absolutely had to have this car and you've heard something about this thing lemon law. Hello, I'm Robert Todd and I'm here to answer what is the lemon law. Well, there is a federal lemon law known as the Magnuson Moss warranty act which covers the purchases and sales of new cars and then there are what are more commonly known as the lemon laws that vary from state to state. Each state has it's own version of the lemon law. So you want to check the lemon law in the state in which you purchase the car. The lemon law derives from the 1800's when the term lemon was applied to people who had gone sour, they weren't behaving properly, they weren't talking about people properly and the like. So lemon law basically talks about a car that is not quite meeting it's expectations. So when you get into the lemon law, sometimes the rights that are afforded you under the lemon law exceed the manufacturer's warranties but you're going to have to check the specific law in your location. I'm Robert Todd and thank you for watching."
