<\/p>\n
A man is blasting the car dealership where he bought his used Ford F-150 with a custom lemon wrap to warn other buyers. Of course, he is getting roasted online for not quite understanding lemon laws.<\/p>\n
TikTok user LemonF-150 (@lemonf150) is dedicated to getting revenge on the Ford brand itself and the specific used car dealership where he bought his F-150: Landers Ford dealership in Collierville, Tennessee.<\/p>\n
In a video posted on Saturday, the account revealed the custom lemon wrap. \u201cI had this truck delivered here on a flatbed,\u201d the man behind the TikTok account says. \u201cThey had it for about seven weeks, told me nothing was wrong. Eventually told me I got GAP insurance, just take care of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
On one of the truck\u2019s rear windows is a list of the problems the man says he\u2019s experienced since purchasing this used F-150:<\/p>\n
Camshaft position sensor light (May 4)
\nSmoke from hood, smells like wires, took to Landers (July)
\nPicked up from Landers; they said nothing was wrong (July 30)
\nTruck wouldn\u2019t start (Aug. 1)
\nReplaced alternator (Sep. 3)
\nTruck wouldn\u2019t start, took back to dealership (Sep. 4)
\nReplaced starter (Nov. 15).<\/p>\n
In general, lemon laws<\/a> protect consumers who purchased or leased a new car and one of its major components malfunctions or otherwise fails in the first 50,000 or so miles. While there are a few notable exceptions, most lemon laws don\u2019t apply to used vehicles. When they do, the coverage is usually stipulated in a warranty that the new owner gets upon purchase.<\/p>\n In Tennessee, the “lemon” law is applicable to new and used vehicles that are still under a manufacturer’s warranty. If, as someone in the comments section speculated, this is a 2019 or older F-150, it’s unlikely it qualifies as a “lemon” in that state. Ford\u2019s new vehicles generally come with a three-year\/36,000-mile factory warranty<\/a>.<\/p>\n In the comments section of the video, viewers offered incredibly unkind (and sometimes incorrect or incomplete) advice to the gentleman behind the camera.<\/p>\n \u201cLemon law isn\u2019t for used vehicles,\u201d wrote one user.<\/p>\n \u201c\u2018All Gen Z does is whine and complain!\u2019 Boomers and Gen Xers:\u201d a second wrote, criticizing the F-150 driver for how he aired his grievances.<\/p>\n \u201cSometimes that\u2019s just how it is,\u201d said a third. \u201cThis ain\u2019t lemon.\u201d<\/p>\n Someone else said, \u201cUhhh, those are oranges.\u201d<\/p>\n The man had at least one fan in the house. \u201cMaking it personal\u2026. Approved,\u201d wrote one person.<\/p>\n Motor1<\/em> contacted the LemonF-150 page via TikTok comment and direct message, and Landers Ford via online contact form for comment.<\/p>\n \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A man is blasting the car dealership where he bought his used Ford F-150 with a custom lemon wrap to […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1716,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[11],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1712"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1712"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1712\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1718,"href":"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1712\/revisions\/1718"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1716"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1712"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1712"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1712"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Viewers Were Unenthused<\/h2>\n
