Frequently asked questions

GOOD QUESTIONS.
USEFUL ANSWERS.

These general answers are a starting point; state law and individual circumstances control.

How many repair visits does a Lemon Law case require?

Requirements depend on the applicable state law, the defect, the repair attempts and other circumstances. Keep all repair orders.

Can a used or leased vehicle qualify?

Some used or leased vehicles may have rights depending on the warranty, purchase terms, timing and state law.

What if the dealership could not duplicate the problem?

Ask for each symptom to be documented on the repair order, even if the dealer reports that the condition could not be reproduced.

Can I keep driving my vehicle?

That depends on the nature of the defect and any safety risks. Follow appropriate safety guidance and seek individualized advice.

Do I need a complete repair history before contacting you?

Start with what you have. The initial review can help identify additional records that may matter.

Does Lemon Law cover electrical or battery defects?

A variety of substantial defects may matter, including electrical issues. Eligibility depends on the circumstances and the applicable law.

What if the manufacturer offers to fix it one more time?

Keep the proposal in writing and preserve all prior repair records. The appropriate response depends on the facts and applicable law.
