Purchasing a vehicle is the second largest investment after a home for most of us. And of course, we would expect that there are laws and procedures in place to protect this investment. Every new vehicle has warranties provided with vehicles that protect consumers. If your vehicle shows any nonconformity against the warranty it has, the Wisconsin's lemon law would step in to provide you the protection provided you are a Wisconsin consumer. Signed into law on November 3, 1983, the Wisconsin's Lemon Law, one of the strongest in the country, has been protecting the Wisconsin consumer for almost 27 years now. The Wisconsin's Lemon Law requires a manufacturer to refund or replace a new vehicle if it turns out to be a lemon.

The Wisconsin's Lemon Law covers:

* New cars
* Motorcycles
* Truck
* Semi-trucks
* Motor homes
