Top 2 misconceptions of the Pennsylvania Lemon Law

1) Misconception number 1: All cars are covered under the Pennsylvania Lemon Law

– Wrong! The Pennsylvania Lemon Law only applies to NEW vehicles. Used vehicles, regardless of the mileage are not covered under the PA Lemon Law. Used cars are covered under the federal warranty act, also known as the magnuson-moss act, which permits damages against the warrantor for failure to repair a defect.

2) Misconception number 2: Leased cars are not covered under the Pennsylvania Lemon Law.

– Wrong! The Pennsylvania Lemon Law specifically includes both purchased and leased cars. The PA Lemon Law was changed in 2002 to include leased cars.
