Learn MoreIf you purchased a defective vehicle that spends more time in the repair shop than on the road, you may have a lemon law case. Whether it's repeated transmission failures, engine problems, electrical issues, or safety defects, if the manufacturer or authorized dealer cannot fix your vehicle after a reasonable opportunity to repair, you could be entitled to a full refund, replacement vehicle, or cash settlement. Lemon laws exist to protect you from being stuck with a defective car. Most importantly, manufacturers typically pay your attorney fees, so there's no cost to you for fighting back.
Situations Lemon Law covers:
Multiple failed repairs: Federal law may require as few as 1-3 attempts; state laws typically require 3-4 attempts (fewer for safety issues).
Too much time in the shop: Your vehicle has been out of service for 30 or more days due to repairs, leaving you without reliable transportation.
Serious safety issues: Problems with brakes, steering, airbags, or other critical systems that put you and your family at risk.
Transmission problems: Slipping gears, rough shifting, or complete transmission failure that keeps happening.
Engine troubles: Stalling, loss of power, overheating, or other engine issues that make your car unreliable.
Under warranty: The problems started while your vehicle was still covered under the manufacturer's warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about lemon law cases.
What is lemon law and how does it protect me?
Lemon law protects consumers who buy defective vehicles. If your car has serious problems that can't be fixed after reasonable repair attempts, you may be entitled to a full refund, replacement vehicle, or compensation. Both federal and state lemon laws exist to make sure manufacturers stand behind their products. Best of all, manufacturers typically have to pay your attorney fees, so fighting back costs you nothing.
How do I know if my car is a lemon?
Your car might be a lemon if: (1) it's been to the shop multiple times (federal law: 1-3 attempts; state laws: typically 3-4 attempts, fewer for safety issues) for the same problem and it's still not fixed, (2) it's been out of service for 30 or more days due to repairs, or (3) it has a serious safety problem that can't be fixed. The problems must have started while your car was under warranty. If you're dealing with persistent issues, get a free case review to see if you qualify.
How many times does the dealer have to try fixing my car?
Under federal law (Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act), as few as 1-3 repair attempts may be sufficient based on "reasonable opportunity" to repair. Most state laws require 3-4 attempts for the same problem. However, for serious safety issues like brake or steering problems, both federal and state laws typically require fewer attempts (1-2). Additionally, if your car's been in the shop for 30+ days total, that often qualifies. Cash and keep settlements may be available with fewer repair attempts, especially for minor defects. Each situation is unique, so get your case reviewed to see what applies to you.
What can I get if I win my lemon law case?
You could get: (1) A full refund of what you paid for the car (minus mileage you used before problems started), (2) A brand new replacement vehicle, or (3) A cash settlement. Plus, the manufacturer usually has to pay your attorney fees and court costs. What you get depends on your situation and what makes the most sense for you.
Can I make a lemon law claim on a used car?
Yes, you might be able to! If your used car came with a warranty (like a certified pre-owned warranty or dealer warranty), you could be protected. Federal lemon law covers used cars with warranties. Some states also have used car lemon laws. It depends on your specific situation, but don't assume you're out of luck just because it's used - get a free case review to find out.
What's the process for filing a lemon law claim?
First, keep all your repair records - they're crucial proof. Then, notify the manufacturer (we can help with this). You'll give them one final chance to fix it. If they can't or won't, we file your claim. From there, we negotiate with the manufacturer or take them to court if needed. Most cases settle without going to trial. The whole process typically takes a few months, but time limits vary by state, so don't wait too long.
Do I really need a lawyer for a lemon law case?
Technically you could try on your own, but manufacturers have teams of lawyers fighting to deny claims and pay as little as possible. Having an experienced lemon law attorney levels the playing field. The best part? In most cases, the manufacturer pays your attorney fees, so hiring a lawyer costs you nothing. Why face a billion-dollar company alone when you can have expert representation at no cost to you?
