A vehicle that has a deadly defect should never be put up for resale.Laundered Lemon dealers Tamper with the Lemon Law
The manufacturer hoodwinks the law by
- Repurchasing the vehicle as a goodwill buy back
- Claiming that the vehicle is not covered by the Lemon Law
- Shipping the vehicle out of state to an auto auction/a car dealer/a consumer
- Denying any Knowledge of the Lemon History of the vehicle, despite Its Complete Warranty Repair History
- Moving the lemon vehicle to a state that does not require branding
- Moving the lemon vehicle to a state that does not recognize the brand from the previous state
Consequently,
- The vehicle is left unmarked
In cases where the title is branded,
- Consumers do not actually see the title immediately
Laundered Lemondealers Fake Legal Compliance
Occasionally, manufacturers and car dealers do feign compliance with the law by
- Identifying only one or two of the many complaints made by the previous owner of the lemon car
- Removing the word warning from the top of the disclosure document
- Placing the disclosure document within a large stack of documents
- Spreading the stack out in a way that leaves the signature lines visible while the top half of the document is hidden by the stack itself
