In Pennsylvania, only the manufacturer gets sued in a lemon law claim.  They are the responsible party, as they are the warrantor of the vehicle. 

I practice law in Pennsylvania with a concentration on Lemon Law and Breach of Warranty issues for vehicles. Many of my potential clients express concern to me over whether to proceed with a Lemon Law claim because they have relationships with the selling dealership. “I’ve bought five cars there, and they always give me a great price.” is something that I hear quite frequently. Other times, its “The service department has been so nice to me, I really don’t want to sue them”. I tell each of these prospective clients that their concerns are commendable, but that they are all for naught.

If you have just bought a brand new car and found it to be notably flawed, what do you do? Sure, you’d probably be upset. I mean, who wouldn’t? A new car is something exciting, and you probably couldn’t wait to show it off to your family, or take your friends out for a ride in it.

But then, when you bring your new ride home, you find out there is something wrong with it - perhaps in the transmission or in the steering. No matter where the malfunction is, discovering that your new auto is imperfect can really be a wet blanket to the excitement of owning a new car.

As a vehicle owner, it would be wise to know more about the Lemon Law Texas, which is a piece of legislation designed to protect your rights of purchasing a fully functioning vehicle.

Lemon Law Texas covers all vehicles, from motorbikes to mobile homes, as long as you purchased them new from the manufacturer. Lemon Law Texas does not include coverage of used or second-hand motor vehicles, or repossessed vehicles of any kind.

Every state in America has its own state lemon law to protect car owners from defective motor vehicles. The specifics of state lemon laws vary from state to state, but they all have the same purpose, and there are several areas of similarity.

1. State lemon laws begin with the explanation of a lemon. Specific conditions are listed that would determine whether a defective vehicle is actually a lemon or not. Typically, a lemon is any motor vehicle that has been purchased by the consumer, found to be substandard in some way, and has been repeatedly and unsuccessfully repaired.
