Summary: Allen Stewart, incorporation dealing with lemon law cases, has stated how the lemon law works in Louisiana and the various rights a consumer is entitled to when stuck with a lemon car.

Allen Stewart explains that in Louisiana lemon law, a manufacturer has a legal duty to repair a new vehicle. Only a new motor vehicle is defined as lemon and not a newly leased vehicle of any type that contains a defect that significantly impairs the use or the market value of the car. The main thing a consumer needs to keep in mind is that Louisiana Lemon Law does not consider defects caused by the neglect, abuse, and unauthorized modification of the vehicle by the consumer.

Allen Stewart also states that in Louisiana, an automobile is classified as a lemon when it does not conform to the express warranty and is irreparable after a considerable number of attempts. Here, four visits are regarded as a reasonable attempt to correct the malfunction within the warranty period or within a year of delivery of the vehicle. Even if the car is out for repair for a total number of at least 30 days during one year of warranty, it is considered a lemon. A manufacturer is liable to provide a replacement or refund if the defect still exists.

Allen Stewart tells the consumer that to claim the refund or replacement, a consumer must first use free arbitration procedures that the manufacturer has set up to deal with the complaints. In this process, the manufacturer will try to satisfy the consumer through settlement. If a consumer is not satisfied, then both the parties can proceed to the next step of arbitration. The next step will involve a third party to decide without the intervention of the lawyers.

According to a representative of Allen Stewart, “for the arbitration process in Louisiana lemon law, the consumer must be prepared by keeping all the receipts of car maintenance and repairs, previous maintenance records, and letters from the mechanic.”
