Signs of a lemon
Does this sound like your vehicle?
Lemon laws usually look at what happened inside your state's protection period, often the first one to two years or a set number of miles.
- The same problem has been repaired two, three or more times and keeps coming back
- Your vehicle has spent weeks in the shop for warranty repairs
- The defect affects safety: brakes, steering, stalling, airbags or electrical failures
- The dealer says it could not duplicate the problem, but it keeps happening
- Warning lights, transmission, engine, or battery and charging problems on a newer vehicle
- You are still making payments on a vehicle you can't rely on

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is a lemon?
Under most state lemon laws, a lemon is a new vehicle with a warranty defect that substantially impairs its use, value or safety, and that the manufacturer could not fix after a reasonable number of repair attempts or a long time out of service. Each state sets its own numbers and deadlines.
What can I get if my vehicle qualifies?
State lemon laws generally allow a repurchase (a refund, often minus a deduction for the miles you drove before the problem started) or a replacement vehicle. Many claims are resolved by a negotiated settlement instead. Which one fits depends on your state, your contract and your repair history.
My vehicle is a 2021 or older. Can I still file?
For most 2021 and older vehicles, the state lemon law window has likely closed. Other warranty claims may still apply in some cases. Call us and we will tell you what we can.
How do fees work?
Many lemon laws, and the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, let a consumer who wins recover reasonable attorney's fees from the manufacturer. We explain exactly how fees work in your case, in writing, before you sign anything.
Does contacting you make me a client?
No. Submitting the form or calling does not create an attorney-client relationship and does not stop any deadline. That relationship begins only when a written fee agreement is signed.
