Lemon cars have either shit reliability to the extreme or cars with a glaring insane flaw such as the infamous Ford pinto that would explode into flames if it got rear ended.
Good example is the 2016-2021 Honda Civic! Tons of electrical issues, and refrigerant that is incompatible with the ac condenser, so you sink thousands into your AC for it to stop working after a couple of months.
i had a CR-V which had a really great electrical issue where it would drain the battery if you didn’t start it every day. The dealer suggested that i should have somebody go to the airport and start the car for me every day while i was working out of town 0_o
This may or may not be an official definition, but in my retail experience a lemon anything is something that has been returned as defective three or more times.
I have no idea the formal definition but locally around me it refers to a car that has been sold for far too much due to the near guaranteed chance it will break down within the next dozen drives.

Actual meaning if you’re curious are Lemon Laws.
Huh, it really does mean that. I guess the term originated as slang?
I guessed its because the purchase leaves a sour taste in your mouth.
