Car dealers and their excuses

Cars are an expansive necessity in our lives. When we find a defect in the car that repeats it self we may see the car as a lemon. Every state has laws that protects a consumer from buying a defective car. This laws are called "Lemon laws".
Oddly enough some car dealers don't want to recognize a car that was sold by them as a lemon. I collected in this article a few of the excuses one may hear from a dealer in such a case.

"The problem isn't important".

Each state declare what is important. Courts of law will decide whether your case is just. Lemon laws specify what is covered or not by the definition of a defect. Don't trust your dealer for your safety and comfort.

"You abused the car, it is your fault that the defect happen"
The law in each state has sections that define neglect or abuse in which the consumer is held at fault. Each case must be determined by it self. Don't trust your dealer. The dealer has a subjective interest in the matter and may not side with the just or the true.

"We haven't tried enough fixing it."
Each state declare the amount of repair attempts that are allowed by law. The dealer is right is saying that the law allows attempting to repair the defect. The only thing you must research and find out is how many attempts does the law declare.To do so check with your state’s Attorney General’s office. Don't trust your dealers. The dealer does not have your best interest in mind. 

"It is not a defect."
The dealer may suggest that the defect is a problem in the manufacturing and all the rest of the cars from that model share this problem. Even if that is the case you are not to be accounted for that. You bought a car in a good faith. Spent money and lots of it. You held up your side of the bargain. It is up to the other side to supply you with an adequate product.


Dealing with a dealer can be intimidating and frustrating but never the less it some times is just and necessary.
Know your lemon laws. Stand your ground and don't let dealers bully you out of your rights.
If you stand your ground you may find out that the law is on your side.
