What is the Lemon Law in Tennessee?
The Lemon Law in Tennessee is a state law that protects consumers who have purchased or leased vehicles that are not of satisfactory quality. This law requires manufacturers to repair any defects in the vehicle that significantly affects its use, value, safety, or reliability. If the manufacturer is unable to repair the defect after a reasonable number of attempts, they must replace the vehicle or refund the purchase price to the consumer.
