Lemon Law Update

Its been a very busy summer with work and vacation so I have been remiss about posting to the blog. The good news is that GM and Chrysler have both done the right thing for consumers with lemon law complaints. GM and Chrysler have both picked up (and continue to settle) lemon law complaints pending prior to their bankruptcy filings. For the "New Chrysler" you have to go through a process of substituting the successor company in place of the "old car" company as a party to the lawsuit. Moreover, you agree that only lemon law claims survive and not claims for punitive or exemplary damages.
