MASSACHUSETTS LEMON LAW INFORMATION The Massachusetts Lemon Law applies to any new car, truck or motorcycle purchased or leased for personal or family purposes from a new-car dealer in the State. The law protects consumers whose vehicles suffer a significant defect in the first 15,000 miles or 1 year, whichever comes first, and cannot be fixed despite three or more repair attempts. The MA Lemon Law also protects consumers whose vehicles are in the shop 15 or more business days (Monday-Friday) within the first year. These days do not have to be consecutive. The maximum remedy under the Massachusetts Lemon Law is a repurchase of the vehicle, including taxes, tags and finance charge, minus a small mileage offset. Other remedies include partial refunds and continued ownership of the vehicle and/or extended manufacturer warranty protection. The remedy is based upon the severity of the situation. Best of all, there are state and federal statutes which provide a fee shifting provision which means that if the consumer prevails, the non-complying manufacturer will be responsible for all attorneys fees and legal costs on top of what the consumer receives. even if your car falls outside of the limitations established by the Massachusetts Lemon Law, there are still Federal breach of warranty laws which apply. South Carolina Lemon Laws South Carolina Lemon Laws and the federal Lemon Law (the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act) provide for compensation to South Carolina consumers of defective automobiles and trucks and other vehicles and products including motorcycles, RV’s, boats, computers and other consumer appliances and products. To qualify under the South Carolina Lemon Law or the federal Lemon Law, you must generally have a product that suffered multiple repair attempts under the manufacturer’s factory warranty. Lemon Law compensation can include a refund, replacement or cash compensation.
