Lemon law

Clarity and brevity are our friends.

And so you just want to be able to always have that messaging so that anytime somebody has an issue and they think, oh, I need a Lemon Law mediator, your name is right there because that's how you have self-identified repeatedly.

And they have great trust in that.

They have to know that you exist in that niche.

That doesn't necessarily apply to an accident, right? Lemon is when you purchase a car, for example.

You know, our firm has, um, you know, recently done a lot more lemon law cases.

Mm-hmm.

Um, we actually have a lemon law department now because we get so many of our existing clients-

Right

... reaching out to us and asking us, you know, if we know anybody who can do lemon, and our attorneys, you know, have done lemon law before.

So, you know, we've taken on more of those cases, and it's interesting because, you know, there are some parameters, right? If, if your car...

It has to be new or it has to be bought certified pre-owned.

Meh.

The Lemon Law should have been in effect here.

Yeah.

But-

And we have some consumer protection laws, but it's not on the same level.

Like a thousand people have mentioned on posts of mine, and they've said, oh, Lemon Law buyback.

I'm like, that sounds great.

We're outside of the 12-month period.

Technically, we don't have the Lemon Law as an automatic.

That doesn't mean we can't get a buyback.

We've submitted that with Volkswagen.

because as much as we absolutely love this vehicle we've really lost all faith and hope in Volkswagen through this process like it's just been miserable and and like like you said the great customer service it's like the least you could do is kind of be nice in the situation and understanding that like you got a customer that bought your halo vehicle from your store like I bought it from Perrysburg and you know it's unusable and uh it's just not been well so um And 56Oval was

That sounds like a Bentley to me.

And I wrote, well, I just got done with another Lemon Law case with your brand.

Good use of your time, bud.

commenting on this video i mean this is how and i i bring this up not to pick on this guy guys this is how delusional these people are they have a bankruptcy law firm inside the lucid building this guy's day is probably telling them how many staplers he has on his desk so they can liquidate the company and he thinks defending bentley in a one-minute joke video where we're talking about you wouldn't really want to be the people on this project this is the best use of his time because he wants to be an all EV guy when Bentley is not that type of brand.

I've actually been in that court a couple times, but not many.

I don't spend a lot of time in federal court because my cases, my Lemon Law cases, are state court cases.

But I've been there a few times, but never in front of this judge.

The judge is now 72 years old, and he allegedly... struck two traffic signs, and crashed on a rural road near Petoskey, which is up north in lower Michigan.

Exactly.

Lemon Law, who needs it? Also, our big story later this week is about extinction or abundance, the battle for the future of AI.

Oh, another happy story.

Which do you vote for, extinction or

Coming up, it's Feedback Friday.

Viewers had a lot to say about our recent stories on e-scooters getting faster, the lack of a lemon law when people buy brand new vehicles that are defective, and more products are being sold as Canadian that are actually from the U.S.

Feedback Friday is just ahead.

Well, this weekend should bring us varying amounts of sun and clouds, some slightly cooler temperatures, and yes, the threat of the odd rain shower.

Watch Tuesdays at 9 on CTV.

Stream next day on Crave.

We've done recent stories on the bank investigator scam and the lack of a lemon law if your new car you buy turns out to be defective.

More viewers have also shared American products being sold as Canadian and raised concerns over the dangers of e-scooters.

in a lot of cases.

So a lot of dealers will start with something very small where they'll start with basically Lemon Law, which is obviously a civil matter.

Somebody's not happy with the purchase of the car.

And so then they start doing a subpoena.

And they say, hey, send me the information.

Well, they're not going to just look at the information necessarily just for the Lemon Law.

They're going to look for other issues.

They're going to look for expansion.

The Consumer Protection Fair Trading Act came in 2003, and even then it was mostly about unfair practices, not a general right to repair or replacement.

The Lemon Law provisions didn't arrive until 2012.

So you have a country that runs its public transit to the second and was, for years, a place where a defective toaster was basically your problem.

Which breaks the simple version of Daniel's question.

The U.S. is the counterexample to the counterexample.

It's the richest economy on Earth, and its consumer protection is patchy.

Some states have strong lemon laws for cars, others don't.

The federal consumer product safety system is real, but slow.
