Questions
What vehicles qualify under Lemon Law?
Cars, light trucks (under one ton), motorcycles, snowmobiles, and RVs are covered if defects occur during the original warranty period.
Does Lemon Law apply to used vehicles?
Yes, if the vehicle was under the original manufacturer's warranty when purchased, the Lemon Law may apply.
Can leased vehicles qualify as lemons?
Leased vehicles qualify under Lemon Law protections. Ownership type does not affect eligibility if the defect criteria are met.
How many repair attempts are allowed?
If the same defect persists after three repair attempts, or 30 days out of service within the first year/18,000 miles, the vehicle may qualify as a lemon.
Does an extended warranty affect Lemon Law rights?
Extended warranties do not negate Lemon Law rights. Manufacturers may violate both the warranty and Lemon Law simultaneously.
