Not every defect is covered by Minnesota’s lemon laws; the issue must have a severe impact on the safety, value, or general use of your vehicle. For example, if you notice a scratch on the car or find that you need to replace a brake light after purchasing your vehicle, this generally does not fall under lemon law. However, if you notice that there are persistent issues that affect the braking system, transmission, engine, or electrical system, this may indicate that your car is a lemon.
