- Parts or components not authorized or installed by the manufacturer, or
- Problems caused by the owner's abuse, neglect or unauthorized changes to the vehicle,or
- Problems that do not substantially affect the use or market value of the vehicle. Minor rattles or stereo problems are usually not considered serious under the Lemon Law.
