Don’t let a “lemon” ruin your peace of mind. Lemon laws protect you when your vehicle is always in the shop for repairs.
What Is Lemon Law?
Lemon laws protect consumers who purchase vehicles that repeatedly fail to meet quality and performance standards. If your new or used car (still under warranty) has ongoing issues that aren’t fixed after reasonable repair attempts, you may have rights under lemon law.
Key Lemon Law Triggers
- 3+ repair attempts for the same issue within 2 years
- Vehicle out of service for 30+ days due to repairs
- Problems affecting use, value, or safety
What to Document
- All repair orders and invoices
- Dates and mileage for each repair visit
- Communications with the manufacturer or dealer
- Warranty documents
Practical Checklist
- Keep a detailed log of every repair attempt
- Save all receipts and repair orders
- Note dates and issues in a notebook or app
- Request all correspondence in writing
What If Your Car Qualifies?
You may be entitled to a refund, replacement, or cash compensation. Every case is unique, so consult a consumer law attorney to discuss your options.
