Massachusetts lemon law to protect the customer, the serious deficiencies in their new cars. The state defines a lemon as a vehicle that affect the use, value or safety of the vehicle and which has not yet been fixed after a reasonable number of experiments.

This law applies to new cars, motorcycles, cans and trucks purchased in Massachusetts from a car dealer for personal or family use. This is valid for one year or 15,000 miles from the original date of delivery, whichever comes first. The Act does not apply to car dealerships and the vehicles used for off-road or Business.

Before you ask for a refund or a replacement, you must give the manufacturer one last chance to try to correct the problem. Once the letter has been received, they have to do their part within seven working days. This should be done by a certified mail with return receipt requested.

If at the end of 7 days, nothing happens, you have the right, under the lemon law for a refund or a replacement. If the manufacturer refuses, it's time to arbitration hearing.

Arbitration Convention is inexpensive and informal way to file a complaint. Here are both sides the opportunity to demonstrate knowledge about the condition of the vehicle. You can choose either state with such conciliation or arbitration process sponsored.

The difference between the two is that state sponsored arbitration, its decision on the lemon law standards, while the manufacturers do not. You can expect a decision in 45 days for a state funded and a further 21 days if the manufacturer decides to appeal, while the manufacturer is much shorter. If the decision is not in your favor, you will not be such a thing.

You have the right to change the manufacturer-sponsored arbitration and then in this case to court. You should only lemons requirements, so that the judges will be easy for a decision in your favor. Failure to do so could mean fines and penalties, you have to pay, so it is best to consult a lawyer, so that he or she may, by a letter to the demand from manufacturers.
