Every state has its own interpretation of the lemon and vehicles can only be in the state of Arkansas, where they bought, leased and registered.

The Arkansas lemon law applies only up to two years after the original date of delivery of the vehicle or the first 24,000 miles whichever comes last. If you decide to sell the vehicle, the one who will continue under the lemon law. Vehicles are covered under the lemon law does not contain the living quarters of campers or trucks that more than 10,000 pounds gross weight rating.

For you to claim under the lemon law, the manufacturer should be at least 1 repair attempt if the defect can cause the death or serious bodily injury or 3 attempts to make the same mistake or 5 attempts for separate problems or 30 days out of service.

If you are not the manufacturers enough time to fix the problem, they can argue that there was inadequate time and you may not be able to claim a refund or a replacement. The lemon law can not apply if the damage to the vehicle was caused by your personal negligence.

To help you to prove that your car is a lemon, you should take all problems directly to the manufacturer. Of course they will try to fix the problem, so keep all receipts and all correspondence with them. It is here that the nature of the problem, the time and was picked up, repair work, odometer reading and the costs for parts and labor.

Suppose that repairs have been carried out, but nothing changes. If this happens, you must give the manufacturer one last attempt to make an application under the lemon law. First, the manufacturer a final notice that if they fix the problem, you have no choice, but a claim against them.

There can be up to a point where they have tried their best and decide to turn away from you with a replacement vehicle. If you decide to do this, you should not accept it because refinancing agreement is a financial commitment that goes far beyond the original agreement.

You should instead ask for a refund. Get the full purchase price of the vehicle minus a reasonable allowance for vehicle use. The same thing happens when the vehicle was leased this arrangement, you should not be charged any penalties for ending it early.

Some manufacturers will not refund or replace your vehicle. If this happens, you have the file for a hearing by the manufacturer of the informal dispute settlement program before you this matter to court.

No fees during the settlement program. You need only your complaint together with a copy of your documents. A decision will be after 40 days and you can accept or reject the decision. If you accept, the manufacturer shall, within 30 days.

If you are not satisfied, you can claim your rights in court as the lemon law allows, by using the help of a lawyer. If you win, you have the choice to a refund or a replacement vehicle.
