To determine whether or not you qualify for protection under the lemon law, North Carolina, you only have to answer "yes" to one of the five questions below. If any of these circumstances apply to you, make sure you consult a North Carolina lemon law attorney as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the more money you could lose, the more damages you could incur, and the more you risk the safety of yourself and your passengers if you are driving a defective vehicle that may not even be safe enough for the road.
Remember that you must have purchased your vehicle during the term of the manufacturer's warranty (or the manufacturer's extended warranty) in order to qualify for protection and compensation under North Carolina lemon law. Keep in mind that the questions below may be used to qualify you under more than one lemon law. North Carolina has a number of regulations and statutes in place to protect victims of new car purchase scams that leave them stuck with inadequate or unsafe vehicles--take advantage of this, because not only could it save your wallet, it could save your life.
* Has the vehicle been in the shop for a problem that was never properly fixed under warranty and it continues to exist now that the warranty has expired?
* Has the dealer and/or manufacturer refused to repair or charged you for a repair to a particular problem that should have been covered under warranty?
* Has the vehicle been in the shop for twenty or more business days for repairs?
* Has the vehicle been to the shop four times or more for the same problem?
* Have there been six or more repair attempts made to various problems, even if more than one repair was made to more than one defect during one visit to the mechanic?
Don't let yourself fall into the category of innocent car buyers who have found themselves in the unfortunate predicament of having been stuck with a new vehicle that did not function as such. There are a number of ways to prevent this from happening before you actually make a purchase, but not all of us end up with what we agreed upon before driving away from the dealership. Fortunately, in North Carolina, lemon law statutes and regulations are in place to protect new car owners whose vehicles have seen an excessive amount of repairs while still under manufacturer's warranty. If you think you may have a lemon on your hands, you'll likely need the assistance of an NC lemon law attorney in order to remedy the situation and receive compensation for money lost due to unexpected repairs.
