What Is the Lemon Law?

The lemon law is a statute that provides recovery to consumers whose vehicles are in the shop repeatedly for the same problem, or a significant amount of time for a variety of issues. Each state’s law is slightly different. Potential remedies under the lemon law include a complete repurchase of your vehicle, a replacement vehicle, or significant compensation to reflect diminished value of your vehicle as a result of your defect.

What Qualifies as a Lemon?

A lemon is defined as a vehicle with a continuous impairment to the use, value, and safety. The vehicle must:

  • Have a defect that is covered by the manufacturers warranty.
  • Have the defect occur within a specified period of time or a specified number of miles as prescribed your state.
  • Still not be fixed after reasonable, repetitive repair efforts.

Are Used Cars Covered Under Lemon Law?

Most state lemon laws specifically cover new cars. However, if your used car is covered under a manufacturer’s warranty (original, extended or power-train) and you’ve been back to the shop for repetitive repairs, you still have rights under a Federal Law called the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. Representation under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act is completely cost-free. You could be looking at significant monetary compensation to reflect the diminished value of the car, plus your warranty remains in effect, and the car is not branded in any way.

Lemon Law Attorneys — Giving You the Protection You Need

When you buy a car, truck, or motorcycle with a manufacturer’s warranty, you expect problems to be fixed efficiently and effectively. If your vehicle is in the shop for repetitive repairs or an extended period of time, turn to the lawyers at Kimmel & Silverman to help you get back on the road to recovery.

You could be covered by your state’s Lemon Law or Federal Warranty Laws if your vehicle suffers from any impairment including but not limited to:

  • Check engine lights
  • Water Leaks
  • Transmission shuddering or jerking
  • Electrical issues
  • Paint defects
  • Airbag lights
  • Stalling or loss of power
  • Problems shifting into gear
  • Error messages
  • Bluetooth and Radio issues
  • Sunroof problems

Potential outcomes could include:

  • A full refund including taxes, tags, and finance charges (minus a small mileage offset as prescribed by your state statute).
  • A brand new replacement vehicle.
  • Significant monetary compensation to reflect the diminished value of your vehicle as a result of the problem, plus continued ownership of the car.

If You’re Driving a Lemon Car, Truck or Motorcycle, Our Lemon Law Attorneys Are Here to Help

Fill out our Get Rid of Your Lemon form, or call us toll-free at 1-800-536-6652. We’ll look into your case free of charge and review your options. If you’re considering hiring a lemon law attorney, it’s helpful to know:

  • There is absolutely no legal cost to you, ever. The manufacturer (warrantor) is responsible for all legal fees, costs, compensation, and recovery if we prevail. If we do not prevail, you owe us nothing. There is no cost and no risk.
  • Most claims are resolved in a timely manner, many within a matter of weeks or months.
  • You could get significant compensation to reflect the reduced value of your vehicle as a result of the problem. In many cases, you could even get a full refund or replacement vehicle.
  • You get to drive your vehicle throughout the duration of your claim.
  • In most states, you can file a claim regardless if you purchased or leased your vehicle and whether it is used or new. This applies as long as repairs are covered by an original, power-train or extended warranty from the manufacturer.
  • Even if you’re not covered by your state’s lemon law, you could still be protected. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act is the grandfather of the Lemon Law and provides additional protection to those who may not fall under State Lemon Law parameters.
