Missouri has a Consumer Protection Lemon Law that establishes guidelines for manufacturers to repurchase or replace defective automobiles. Car buyers should read eligibility and notice requirements and be mindful of available remedies if a dealer cannot meet the warranty after repeated repair attempts. Generally speaking a consumer should give a dealer three attempts to repair under the warranty before pursuing Lemon Law claims. However this rule varies depending upon the time that the issue manifests as well as the time limits available under the Lemon Law itself.
When you purchase a car the dealer is required to pass on the literature including information regarding your rights under your states Lemon Law. If you have been unfairly treated by a car dealer or manufacturer you should seek counsel of an attorney familiar with consumer protection claims involving vehicle warranties, Lemon Laws, defective vehicles and fraudulent automobile sales.
