Is Your Volkswagen A Lemon?
Your Volkswagen must have a substantial problem that interferes with its use, value, or safety to qualify as a lemon. It must have also been covered by a written warranty (like those that come with new or certified pre-owned vehicles that are either purchased or leased) when the problem initially started. Another prerequisite is that you give the manufacture or dealership the opportunity to fix the reported issue(s). Your vehicle may then qualify as a lemon if they are unable to repair it after multiple attempts.
