Automobile Lemon Laws
Missouri has a Consumer Protection Lemon Law that establishes guidelines for manufacturers to repurchase or replace defective automobiles. Automobile owners should read eligibility and notice requirements and be mindful of available remedies if a dealer cannot meet the vehicle warranty after repeated repair attempts. A consumer should give a dealer three attempts to repair under the warranty before pursuing a Lemon Law claim. When you purchase a vehicle, the dealer is required to provide you with literature including information regarding your rights under your state's Lemon Laws.
If you have been unfairly treated by an automobile dealer or manufacturer, seek counsel of an attorney familiar with consumer protection claims involving vehicle warranties, Lemon Laws, defective vehicles and fraudulent automobile sales. More Details

By selecting "Submit", the Missouri Appellate Court has found that you are agreeing to the terms of use referred to, no matter whether you actually took the time to read those terms.
