What caused Lemon Laws to protect buyers?

Lemon Laws were established to protect consumers from defective vehicles that fail to meet quality and performance standards. These laws arose in response to widespread consumer frustration over manufacturers' reluctance to address persistent issues with faulty cars, often leaving buyers with significant financial losses. By providing legal recourse, Lemon Laws ensure that consumers can seek refunds or replacements for vehicles that are deemed "lemons," thereby promoting accountability within the automotive industry.
