Modern Complexity in Automobiles Lead to More Lemon Law Claims

Lemon law cases are still popular among those who have defective vehicles. Recently, a Victorville, California man was awarded $47,000 plus court costs in a suit against Chrysler. The suit involved a defective 2006 Dodge Ram pickup truck with a transmission problem. The transmission in the truck would not engage for several seconds after the truck was put in reverse. The recovery represents the full purchase price of the truck.

One of the reason Lemon laws remain popular is that the increasing complexity of automobiles has led to an increasing number of defects. However, dealers often use the complexity to try to confuse consumers into believing that any problems are just the way the car works. The result is that the consumer will either delay or fail to bring a claim.
