Summary:
"Every state in the country has enacted consumer-protection legislation known as a lemon laws to assist new vehicle buyers with either recurring mechanical problems (commonly referred to as “warranty nonconformities”) in spite of attempts by manufacturers and dealers to repair them, or situations where the defects have caused the vehicle to be out of service for a long period of time. As straightforward as lemon laws appear, a surprising number of very interesting (and sometimes complex) legal issues arise, leading to a substantial amount of litigation (numerous firms around the country specialize exclusively in lemon law cases). ... Each chapter is preceded by 'practice tips,' and the text is organized logically to follow the progression and development of litigation claims." --Publisher's website.
