What is a lemon law?

Lemon laws typically require auto manufacturers to either replace a defective new vehicle you bought or reimburse you. Every state in the U.S. has some version of a lemon law. These regulations allow you to file a claim for a defective motor vehicle.

Each state’s law can have different requirements for claims. For example, some require that the car can’t be fixed after a certain number of repair attempts, or that the defect presents a safety hazard.

Lemon laws vary by state, each imposing its own restrictions on the types of vehicles covered and other requirements. For example, Colorado excludes motor homes under its lemon law, but Georgia’s lemon law covers motor homes. Georgia’s lemon law also typically requires three manufacturer repair attempts (as long as the defect is not a serious safety defect. If it is, just one attempt is required. Arizona requires four repair attempts before you can file a lemon law claim.

Generally, lemon laws apply to personal use vehicles. In some cases that includes leased or used motor vehicles or RVs.

Lemon laws can provide some backup when you buy a vehicle — but depending on the state you live in, even if you file a successful lemon law complaint you may not receive the full amount you paid for the vehicle.

Depending on the state you’re in, the manufacturer may be required to give you another new vehicle or a vehicle with equivalent mileage at the time the defect became known. In other states, you may be allowed an option to reject the manufacturer’s suggested replacement.
