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.

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.

In a video posted on Saturday, the account revealed the custom lemon wrap. “I had this truck delivered here on a flatbed,” the man behind the TikTok account says. “They had it for about seven weeks, told me nothing was wrong. Eventually told me I got GAP insurance, just take care of it.”

On one of the truck’s rear windows is a list of the problems the man says he’s experienced since purchasing this used F-150:

Camshaft position sensor light (May 4)
Smoke from hood, smells like wires, took to Landers (July)
Picked up from Landers; they said nothing was wrong (July 30)
Truck wouldn’t start (Aug. 1)
Replaced alternator (Sep. 3)
Truck wouldn’t start, took back to dealership (Sep. 4)
Replaced starter (Nov. 15).

What Is a Lemon Law?

In general, lemon laws 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’t apply to used vehicles. When they do, the coverage is usually stipulated in a warranty that the new owner gets upon purchase.

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’s new vehicles generally come with a three-year/36,000-mile factory warranty.

Viewers Were Unenthused

In the comments section of the video, viewers offered incredibly unkind (and sometimes incorrect or incomplete) advice to the gentleman behind the camera.

“Lemon law isn’t for used vehicles,” wrote one user.

“‘All Gen Z does is whine and complain!’ Boomers and Gen Xers:” a second wrote, criticizing the F-150 driver for how he aired his grievances.

“Sometimes that’s just how it is,” said a third. “This ain’t lemon.”

Someone else said, “Uhhh, those are oranges.”
