to lemon car buyers. If you have bought the car in New Mexico, then
these are some important considerations. Factoring in these will help

What
defects are covered?
A
car can have many defects. Some may be as small as a dent or a
scratch. Others may be as life-threatening as a failed braking
system. The provisions of Lemon
Law in New Mexico
will apply only if the problem is grave in nature. The ‘gravity’
of the situation is decided by these factors –
1
– Does it impair the driving ability?
2
– Does it pose a risk to pedestrians, passengers, or other cars on
the road?
3
– Does the defect or condition substantially impair the use and
market value of the vehicle?
If
yes then you can file a claim.
