The Lemon Law in California began when a single mother, named Ginger Hines, of San Diego, CA purchased a used car with mileage of less than 20,000 miles on July 6, 1977 and had her car in the shop 19 times in less than 2 years for car failure. She had missing bolts, wrong radiator cap, wrong thermostat, loose transmission bolts, car idling was either too high or too low, car killed out, antifreeze leaked, steam came from under the hood, car overheated, oil leaks from 3 places, seal broken, fan blower dysfunctional, missing parts, antifreeze leak, etc. etc. etc. This lady started out called it a LEMON and found out the legal way to picket the car dealership for never fixing the problems properly. The fraudulent work was called LEMON SERVICE. Making a long story short, this problem was pushed through Sacramento, California into what we call today "THE LEMON LAW". It is nice to know that a determined single Mom was not going to allow a car dealership to take her to the cleaners. Thank you Ginger for your hard efforts in pushing such a great law through Sacramento! We appreciate it greatly and will always remember you!
