Lemon
The definition of a lemon vehicle and lemon laws vary by state. In general, a lemon car is often a new vehicle that requires repeated repairs for the same defect without successful resolution. The defect may significantly impact the safety, value or reliability of the car. Lemon laws protect the rights of buyers of vehicles that don’t operate properly and require repeated repairs for the same problem(s). In some states lemon laws compel auto manufacturers to buy back or exchange the lemon vehicle.

When an insurance company as a result of a total loss settlement acquires a vehicle, the insurance company must apply for a Salvage Certificate. If the owner retains possession of a salvage vehicle, the owner must obtain a Salvage Certificate before receiving a total loss statement from the insurance company.
