Colorado Lemon Law
Colorado is not only famous for snow capped mountains and for being a ski destination for millions, but also, just as Wisconsin, the occasional lemon. There are a few things to know if you live in Colorado and you think you have a Lemon Law case.
The Colorado Lemon Law (also known as C.R.S. 42-12-101), only covers new, self propelled vehicles, but not motor homes or motorcycles.
The Colorado Lemon Law states that if your car turns out to be a lemon, then the manufacturer must replace it for free or refund the price, minus reasonable amounts for mileage.
With most Lemon Laws in most states (not just Colorado), a car can be considered a lemon if a few criteria are met:
- The manufacturer is unable to conform to the warranty of the vehicle.
- The vehicle is still under warranty.
- Has a serious defect that the dealer cannot fix in FOUR tries
- The car has one or more defects that prevents you from using it for more than 30 days.
Of course there are other things to help determine if your car is a lemon, but that is up to you to do your research of the Colorado Lemon Law and always contact an attorney to do this.
