Philadelphia is the city of Brotherly Love. It's also a city that can be hard on your automobile. As a result, people often put a bad car experience down to external circumstances like poor roads or severe weather conditions but this is not always the case.
A new car shouldn't give off grinding, clunking or clanging noises. A new car shouldn't have paint peel or leaks or squeaky brakes. You have spent a good deal of money on your car, you should not have to spend hours, days or weeks getting it repaired. The car companies have terms and conditions included in their warranty, which can take those troubled people for a ride. That is why the car owners need a better understanding of the lemon law, which varies from state to state.
All 50 states have lemon laws designed to protect the consumer. They cover various types of passenger and multi-utility vehicles like trucks, cars, motorcycles and some even cover RV's.
For residents of Philadelphia and Pennsylvania, the PA Lemon Laws specifically states that, "The manufacturer of a new motor vehicle sold or leased and registered in the Commonwealth shall repair or correct, at no cost to the purchaser, a nonconformity which substantially impairs the use, value or safety of said motor vehicle which may occur within a period of one year following the actual delivery of the vehicle to the purchaser, within the first 12,000 miles of use or during the term of the warranty, whichever may first occur." The actual details can vary from one state to another so it is important to find out about your own laws. As per the Pennsylvania Lemon Law three warranty attempts are taken as the limit.
The auto lemon law solutions depend on the extremity of the situation specific to each car owner. Even if a car is outside the lemon law of their state, the owner can still seek justice by means of Federal Warranty Statutes and Unfair Trade Practice Laws. In the Philadelphia area, the Philadelphia Lemon Law firm of Kimmel & Silverman has a stellar reputation. In addition to being named the best lemon law firm in the region by Philadelphia Magazine, the attorneys have been repeatedly honored as Pennsylvania Super Lawyers by Law & Politics Magazine. Their efforts have also been featured on KYW Newsradio, Channel 3 Eyewitness News, Action News, NBC10 News, Good Day Philadelphia, Fox News at 10 and the Channel 17 News at Ten, and in the pages of the Philadelphia Inquirer and many other local publications.
The lemon law firm of Kimmel & Silverman has been helping car buyers since 1991. Longevity speaks volumes in this industry. In addition, they are the only lemon law firm recognized by the American Bar Association for their work in this arena. Their website claims that they have won over 50,000 claims for distressed drivers in the area.
With their headquarters just outside the Philadelphia metro area, they have a solid knowledge of the city of Philadelphia and the Pennsylvania state Lemon Laws. They represent more Philadelphia drivers in lemon law and breach of warranty claims than any other firm in the Nation and their record speaks for itself.
The important thing to remember is that if your leased or purchased car is in the shop three times for the same problem while under warranty, you most likely have a lemon law or breach of warranty case even if the car is now fixed. Best of all, help is free. Visit http://www.lemonlaw.com for more information or follow them on twitter at http://www.twitter.com/1800lemonlaw.
