Oklahoma Consumers/
Problems Covered
Oklahoma lemon law covers any condition or defect that
prevents or impairs a consumer from using a motor vehicle.
The umbrella term for a failure to honor manufacturing
or warranty claimed standards for safety, reliability,
or quality is called nonconformity.
Nonconformity is one of the most commonly encountered
types of consumer problem. Even though automobiles are
complicated machines they must meet the standards claimed
by the manufacturer or dealer. Some car manufacturers go
to great lengths to ignore and avoid unhappy customers,
and a few dealerships are notorious for their apathy towards
complaints.
Unfortunately, there are also a number of loopholes in
the lemon law that auto manufacturers attempt to use against
their clients. For example, a manufacturer can claim a
certain defect does not restrict the use of or decrease
the value of a motor vehicle, or that the nonconforming
issue is due to the abuse, neglect, or modification by
the consumer. Many consumers misunderstand their rights
and let unscrupulous auto manufacturers take advantage
of them.
A consumer who purchases a vehicle under warranty should
alert the dealer or manufacturer of any problem so that
it can be addressed quickly and easily, and if the dealer
refuses or cannot fix the nonconforming issue it is important
to consult an experienced lemon law attorney from Atkins & Markoff
immediately. Don’t let pushy auto salesman intimidate
you and take advantage of your trust and good faith by
turning your new car dream into a nightmare. Contact a
Oklahoma lemon law attorney, and start to fight back today.
