Since the first lemon law was passed in 1982, all fifty states have enacted some form of consumer protection for owners of defective automobiles.

They were implemented to protect the consumer.

A lemon is a vehicle that continues to have a defect that substantially impairs its use, value, or safety. The lemon laws set up a warranty period that is usually between a 12 and 24-month period.
