Overview

Think you’ve got a lemon and wondering about your lemon law rights? Every state has its own lemon law pertaining to automobile warranties. But what are the lemon laws, how does your state define a lemon car, and what options do you have if your vehicle and its repair history don’t qualify?

Generally, if your vehicle (within the warranty period) has been repaired three to four times for the same defect or has been out of service more than thirty days by reason of repair, and the defect has not been fixed, it will likely qualify under the lemon law. And, even if your car is not considered a lemon under your state’s lemon law statute, you may still have rights under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (the federal lemon law). Consult the experienced lemon law attorneys at Weisberg Consumer Law Group to learn your lemon law rights.

At Car Lemon you will find state lemon law summaries for each of the fifty states, as well as for the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (the federal lemon law). Generally, the term “repair attempts” refers to one or more attempts to fix the same defect under the manufacturer’s written vehicle warranty coverage as opposed to multiple defects within the entire product (which generally falls under the days out of service category). Where the period covered lists more than 1 option, the period applies to the option which occurs first.
