Warranty Claims - Federal Lemon Law

Currently, the Pennsylvania Lemon Law only applies to new motor vehicles that are used primarily for family or household purposes. If you have a problem with a used motor vehicle, the Lemon Law will not provide any protections to you.

Fortunately, there is a Federal Lemon Law, called the Magnuson-Moss Act, that may provide protections to you if you have purchased a used motor vehicle that is defective. The Magnuson-Moss Act is a warranty related act, that forces manufacturers to comply with the strict terms set forth in their given warranties.

If the used motor vehicle that you purchased had some original manufacturer's warranty on it at the time of purchase, and you suffered a defect or non-conformity while under that warranty, you may be able to bring a claim under the Magnuson-Moss Act.

The Act has similar protections to the Pennsylvania Lemon Law, in that the consumer can get a free replacement or full refund of the purchase price if the manufacturer cannot correct the defect after a reasonable number of attempts. The Magnuson-Moss Act also provides for recovery of all collateral charges, including attorney fees, costs, interest payments, taxes and down payments.
