​
THE DETAILED EXPLANATION:
​
The Situation Presented When You Buy a Vehicle in Florida
​
-
You may have bought your vehicle in Florida as “new.” If so, it is covered against defects by the manufacturer’s written warranty, the Florida “Lemon Law,” and the federal Magnuson Moss Warranty Act (“Mag Moss”).
​
-
You may have bought your vehicle in Florida as “used,” but still covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. It may also be covered by an extended warranty, if you bought one. If so, it is not covered by the Florida Lemon Law, but it is covered by Mag Moss, for the remaining term of the manufacturer’s written warranty.
​
-
You have a written warranty, and these legal rights, but if you don’t know all the rules on how to use them, they are worthless to you.
​
-
These are some examples of problems covered by Florida Lemon Law: electrical problems; starting problems; braking problems; not shifting gears properly; shutting off or sputtering in traffic; various warning lights coming on; infotainment system problems; air conditioning problems; paint problems; water leaks; overheating problems; abnormal vibrations; abnormal noises (clunking, grinding, whining, etc.). In short, if your vehicle isn’t working properly, you need to use your warranty, and Florida Lemon Law, to get it promptly fixed.
​
-
Florida Lemon Law Legal Protection is available for you to purchase. It is an agreement where you pay me a one-time, nonrefundable fee to retain me, as your expert Florida Lemon Law attorney. When your vehicle has any problem, and even if your vehicle has already had problems, I will actively give you expert guidance to protect, preserve, and efficiently assert your Florida Lemon Law rights. This protection covers all problems that your vehicle has, including those problems that lead to federal SAFETY RECALLS.
​
-
Florida Lemon Law has requirements that you must comply with to protect, preserve, and exercise your legal rights.
​
-
The manufacturer’s written warranty is an actual written document. It also has requirements that you must comply with to protect, preserve, and exercise your legal rights under that warranty.
​
-
Each year, there are MILLIONS of warranty claims on defective vehicles. These claims are being made haphazardly, because people generally don’t know how to correctly make a warranty claim. The same thing is going on with federal safety recalls. Every year, millions of safety recalls are not performed because people don’t know how to correctly go about it.
The Problem Presented
​
-
Most people have no idea what the manufacturer’s written warranty requires them to do, or not do, to KEEP their rights under that warranty.
​
-
Most people never actually READ the manufacturer’s written warranty.
​
-
That’s a problem, because YOU can LOSE those valuable warranty rights if you don’t do what the written warranty requires.
​
-
Most people have no idea what Florida Lemon Law requires them to do, or not do, to KEEP their legal rights under Florida Lemon Law.
​
-
Most people have never READ the provisions of Florida Lemon Law.
​
-
That’s a problem, because YOU can LOSE those valuable legal rights if you don’t do what Florida Lemon Law requires.
​
-
The essence of this problem is that protection of Florida Lemon Law rights is a GAME, that has RULES. It’s like a CHESS match. Florida Lemon Law requires YOU to do certain things, a certain way, at certain times to preserve, perfect, and take advantage of, YOUR legal rights.
​
-
If YOU don’t do these things, don’t do them the right way, or don’t do them at the right time, YOUR valuable legal rights will be diminished, or LOST altogether.
​
-
The game STARTS the moment YOU have any problem with your vehicle. At that starting moment, YOU have to know the RULES of the game. YOU need to have a “ROADMAP”—a comprehensive understanding—of how Florida Lemon Law works.
​
-
YOU must know exactly what to do, and when to do it. YOU must know this at the OUTSET, before YOU start going through the STRESS of taking your defective vehicle to the dealership for repair. This way, YOU don’t take any false steps, YOU don’t waste any TIME, and YOU don’t squander your valuable Florida Lemon Law rights.
​
-
But because Florida Lemon Law is advertised as “Do-It-Yourself,” this is NOT what happens in the real world. In the real world, it’s like consumers are playing CHESS—without knowing the rules.
​
-
Consumers BLINDLY take the vehicle to the dealership for repair when they experience problems. They don’t even think about what Florida Lemon Law requires them to do until after they’ve taken the vehicle in for repeated repair visits, or had their vehicle in the repair shop for many days out of service. This is a big MISTAKE.
​
-
Many consumers just blindly ACCEPT whatever they are told about what will, or will not, be done about the problems they are having with their vehicle. This is a big MISTAKE.
​
-
Consumers don’t even think about what Florida Lemon Law requires them to do until something makes them MAD. This usually happens when they get EXCUSES, on why their vehicle can’t or won’t be fixed under the warranty. They also get MAD when they have to make PAYMENTS on a vehicle that they can’t use. When they get MAD, they say “I’m going to ‘Lemon Law’ my vehicle.” Only THEN do they start trying to figure out what the law requires them to do. This is a big MISTAKE.
​
-
Consumers also don’t adequately know how to calculate the REFUND they are entitled to if their vehicle is a “Lemon.” I have seen NUMEROUS “settlement” offers that manufacturers said were “per Florida Lemon Law” that were THOUSANDS of dollars LESS than a properly calculated Florida Lemon Law refund. A “Do it Yourself” consumer is easily DUPED into accepting something that is far less than what Florida Lemon Law provides.
​
-
Additionally, many consumers simply aren’t the TYPE to correctly assert their legal rights themselves. We all know people that simply don’t like confrontation, or uncomfortable situations. Why should these people be required to “Do It Yourself” if their vehicle turns out to be defective? This is especially so considering how much MONEY new vehicles cost these days.
​
-
Many times, the people at the DEALERSHIP can’t “take care of” these consumers. Most consumers don’t realize this, but warranty claims are the responsibility of the MANUFACTURER, not the dealership. Under Florida Lemon Law, a dealership is the manufacturer’s “authorized service AGENT.” The manufacturers DICTATE how the dealerships handle their warranty claims. The manufacturers tell the dealerships what they will, or will not, PAY FOR, when it comes to warranty claims. Many times, the dealership’s hands are tied by the manufacturers.
​
-
Some consumers erroneously think the Office of the Attorney General (“OAG”) will protect them if their vehicle is defective. That is a MISTAKE. The OAG has written a pamphlet that VAGUELY explains how the Florida Lemon Law works. Consumers that purchase brand new vehicles are required to pay $2 for the pamphlet, and it is INADEQUATE.
​
-
The OAG also operates a “hotline” to generally answer questions about JUST the Florida Lemon Law. The OAG has nothing to do with Mag Moss at all. The OAG openly tells the public that they CANNOT give Florida Lemon Law legal advice to consumers. But, legal advice is exactly what you will need when your vehicle has problems, not just GENERAL information.
​
-
Some consumers erroneously think the Better Business Bureau (the “BBB”) will protect them if their vehicle is defective. That is a MISTAKE. The MANUFACTURERS set up the BBB Lemon Law programs. They write all the RULES governing their BBB program. They PAY the BBB to run their BBB program. It is the manufacturer’s BBB program. The BBB does not represent consumers in Lemon Law claims. No consumer should try to make a claim with the BBB without an expert Florida Lemon Law attorney.
​
-
“Do it Yourself” consumers, not knowing exactly what to do from the OUTSET, causes them to waste TIME. This undermines the express purpose of the Florida Lemon Law, which is for the manufacturers to FIX problems in the vehicle within a specified period of TIME, and if they can’t, to PAY the consumer a REFUND, within a specified period of TIME.
​
-
By the time these “Do it Yourself” consumers finally reach out to a competent Florida Lemon Law attorney (and there are only a few of us), the claim is often a MESS. This puts the attorney in a bind, and negatively impacts what the attorney can do to help that consumer, IF that attorney can do anything to help that consumer at all.
​
-
“Do it Yourself” consumers, not knowing exactly what to do from the OUTSET, can cause them to GET STUCK WITH A LEMON. This happens far too often, and it is an absolute shame. These consumers usually end up just trading the LEMON in on another vehicle (where it becomes the next person’s nightmare). Some of them decide that they aren’t paying for a LEMON any longer and let the vehicle get REPOSSESSED. Either way, they create unnecessary STRESS for themselves, and LOSE MONEY.
Florida Lemon Law Legal Protection CURES the Problem.
​
-
If you purchase Florida Lemon Law Legal Protection it completely FIXES this fundamental problem with Florida’s “Do it Yourself” Lemon Law. You will have your claim prepared by an expert Florida Lemon Law attorney—FROM DAY ONE. Here’s how it works:
​
-
As soon as you purchase Florida Lemon Law Legal Protection, a “Welcome” email is sent to YOU. That email lets YOU know that you have Florida Lemon Law Legal Protection coverage, and ENCOURAGES you to contact me, as instructed, just as soon as you experience ANY problem with your designated vehicle. It also contains general “DO’s and DON’Ts” on your obligations under the written warranty itself.
​
-
From the first moment your vehicle has ANY problem, you simply email Florida Lemon Law Legal Protection as instructed. As soon as you make that initial contact with me, YOU get comprehensive legal advice, from an expert Florida Lemon Law attorney, for no further charge.
​
-
I will instantly “open a file” and provide YOU with pinpoint legal advice on how to properly and efficiently apply Florida Lemon Law every step of the way, as your vehicle goes to the dealership for repair under the warranty. This process correctly preserves and perfects YOUR legal rights under Florida Lemon Law.
​
-
From the get-go, YOU get expert legal counseling on the emotions YOU will undoubtedly experience as your vehicle has problems, and you have to take the vehicle to the dealership for repair under the warranty. I will put your mind at ease. This will keep your emotions from causing you to make mistakes in properly protecting and asserting your rights under Florida Lemon Law. I’m going to tell you exactly what to do.
​
-
I will review and file all of your “repair orders” that you receive from the dealership after having had the vehicle in for repair under the warranty.
​
-
I will expertly “chart” the repair history of your vehicle, with regard to the “REPEAT REPAIRS,” and the “DAYS OUT OF SERVICE,” formulas contained in the Florida Lemon Law.
​
-
I will provide you with expert legal guidance on how to handle the usual EXCUSES that you may get on why your vehicle can’t or won’t be fixed under the warranty.
​
-
Through this process of reviewing repair orders and charting the repair history, I will properly advise you on when it is time to mail the manufacturer of the vehicle a written “Motor Vehicle Defect Notification” form, as required by Florida Lemon Law, and how to do that properly.
​
-
I will also advise you on properly giving the manufacturer of the vehicle the “Final Repair Attempt,” or inspection/repair opportunity, as Florida Lemon Law requires.
​
-
If you were confused at all where I used the terms “REPEAT REPAIRS,” “DAYS OUT OF SERVICE,” “Motor Vehicle Defect Notification,” and “Final Repair Attempt,” above—that illustrates my POINT. To properly protect, preserve, and assert Florida Lemon Law rights, those are very BASIC concepts of Florida Lemon Law that a you MUST completely understand as you deal with the STRESS of your vehicle breaking down. Properly applying Florida Lemon Law is complicated, but not to me. I’ve been doing this for 25 years now. It absolutely should not be “Do It Yourself.” Florida Lemon Law Legal Protection fixes this problem.
​
-
I will also advise you when I am convinced that your vehicle is a “LEMON” under Florida Lemon Law, such that you are entitled to make a claim for the remedies (refund, replacement, damages) provided by Florida Lemon Law.
​
-
By expertly applying the consumer rights provided by Florida Lemon Law, Florida Lemon Law Legal Protection ensures that any problems or defects in your vehicle are either fixed in the TIME allowed by Florida Lemon Law—OR—our you have already done everything the law required them to do to get a REFUND, a REPLACEMENT VEHICLE, or MONEY DAMAGES. This is exactly how these consumer protection laws are supposed to work.
​
-
If you have Florida Lemon Law Legal Protection you will not waste TIME, you will not deal with unnecessary STRESS, and you will not SQUANDER your Florida Lemon Law rights.
​
-
If your vehicle has a defect, and you DO NOT have Florida Lemon Law Legal Protection you will probably waste TIME, have to deal with unnecessary STRESS, and might SQUANDER your Florida Lemon Law rights altogether.
​
-
Look at how much MONEY you paid for your vehicle. Protecting valuable Florida Lemon Law rights, on that much MONEY, should not be “Do it Yourself.” Florida Lemon Law Legal Protection fixes that, by providing you with expert legal guidance—from the START—so Florida Lemon Law actually works like it is supposed to.
As an important BONUS, Florida Lemon Law Legal Protection provides EARLY notice of federal safety RECALLS
-
Federal safety recalls, by definition, apply to defect(s) in your vehicle that make the vehicle UNSAFE.
​
-
Federal safety recalls are issued at a certain point in time, but then you are not NOTIFIED about the recall on your vehicle until MUCH later.
​
-
When this happens, you are driving around with a confirmed SAFETY DEFECT in your vehicle, and you don’t even know it.
​
-
When a federal safety recall applies to your vehicle, and it has not been performed, that substantially impairs the VALUE of your vehicle.
​
-
When these federal safety recalls are issued during the time period that Florida Lemon Law still applies to your vehicle, Florida Lemon Law can be USED to get the safety recall performed on your vehicle QUICKLY. This is a critical point that nobody seems to realize.
​
-
When you purchase Florida Lemon Law Legal Protection I will send you EARLY notice of all federal safety recalls that apply to your vehicle. Along with that notice, you will get expert legal advice on how to use Florida Lemon Law to get the manufacturer of the vehicle to QUICKLY perform the federal safety recall on your vehicle. In short, you get moved to the “head of the line” for the recall. You may even be entitled to MONEY damages because the value of your vehicle went down as a result of the recall.
​
-
This is another way Florida Lemon Law Legal Protection protects you and the VALUE of your vehicle.
​
-
I understand that when we buy a new (or new to us) vehicle, we are INTOXICATED with excitement, and happiness. We love our vehicles. The LAST thing you want to hear right now is that your new “baby,” might very well be a LEMON. However, you know in the back of your mind that it might be. That’s why you are glad it comes with a WARRANTY. Purchasing Florida Lemon Law Legal Protection breathes life into that warranty, and will give you the PEACE OF MIND that all your legal rights under that warranty will be PROTECTED by an expert Florida Lemon Law attorney.
​
-
Florida Lemon Law clients that I have represented in the past always tell me that they could not have done it without my help. They would tell you that purchasing Florida Lemon Law Legal Protection is a great idea, and the wise thing to do.
