Does Your Vehicle Qualify?

Just because a car needs repairs does not mean it falls under the protection of lemon law.

The basic criteria forqualifying vehicles include:

• Being under the original manufacturer’s warranty
• Having taken your lemon in for repair a reasonable number of times
• Dealing with recurring issues

What qualifies as a reasonable number of repair attempts?

This amount is determined by the severity of the defect in question. One repair attempt could count as reasonable for something serious like brake failure, whereas the manufacturer would likely be allowed more attempts to address minor and non-safety threatening issues.

Can I go to any auto repair shop with my vehicle?

No, all qualifying repair work and countable attempts must be carried out by an authorized dealer. Not only do independent repair shops fail to count towards your total visits, but receiving auto work from an unauthorized source could void the corresponding portion of your vehicle's warranty.

Does each visit to the dealer have to address the same problem to count?

No, it is not necessary for there to be one recurring problem. If a vehicle requires constant repair, you may have a valid lemon law claim even if your issues range to include several different defects.

If I take my vehicle in for repair but no work is done, what does that mean?

In this case, your visit would still count as a repair attempt as the dealer was given an opportunity to fix the problem.
