How your New Mexico claim gets built

Our lemon law work is directed by Steven P. Nassi, Esq., Managing Partner, Easy Lemon by RockPoint Law P.C. A New Mexico claim gets built on two things: the New Mexico lemon law statute, and the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, which applies in all fifty states. Send the repair orders and the purchase or lease paperwork, and we can tell you which of the two fits your vehicle.

Alamogordo Lemon Law

Alamogordo Lemon Law Basics

In Alamogordo, as anywhere else in New Mexico, a lemon law claim is brought under N.M. Stat. §57-16A-1 to §57-16A-9. The statute covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in New Mexico for personal, family, or household use, but being covered is only the start. The car also has to reach one of the repair limits in the box above, with the defect still unrepaired and the deadline not yet passed. If it does, you may have a claim. Our New Mexico Lemon Law Attorneys page goes through the statute text, the filing deadlines and used cars in more detail.

Is Your Alamogordo Car a Lemon? New Mexico's 3-Step Test

Does the Defect Substantially Impair Use, Value, or Safety?

Under New Mexico law, the defect has to substantially impair the vehicle's use, value, or safety.

Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?

In New Mexico the test is 4 repair attempts for the same defect, or 30 cumulative business days out of service, as long as the claim is brought within the deadline in step 3. Count the visits on your repair orders to see where you stand.

Did It Happen Within the Rights Period?

In New Mexico the deadline is 18 months following the date of original delivery, or 90 days after the final action of an informal dispute settlement panel, whichever is later. We check it against the delivery date on your contract and the dates on your repair orders.

If you are not sure about your dates, call us. The consultation is free. 📞 (855) 435-3666

If you are past the deadline, call us anyway. We may still be able to help.

Otero County

Court and Venue in Alamogordo

Alamogordo is in Otero County. Otero County's general civil trial court is the Twelfth Judicial District Court. New Mexico also has a lower court for smaller civil claims, so the amount in dispute can change where a case is filed. Which court hears a particular case still depends on its facts, the warranty issues involved and the law it is brought under.

The New Mexico lemon law is N.M. Stat. §57-16A-1 to §57-16A-9. If the manufacturer's arbitration program is state-certified, the consumer must complete it first.

The repair test in the statute is 4 repair attempts for the same defect, or 30 cumulative business days with the vehicle out of service. The statutory remedy is a replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use offset). A consumer who prevails may recover attorney fees.

Open recalls on your vehicle can be checked against NHTSA records at easylemon.com/recalls. A recall alone is not a lemon law claim.

What the Statute Says

New Mexico Motor Vehicle Quality Assurance Act: The Rules That Decide an Alamogordo Claim

If you have read Court and Venue above, you already have the repair test, the arbitration rule and the deadline. New Mexico law adds a few rules on top of those, and they follow.

Notable provisions of New Mexico Motor Vehicle Quality Assurance Act

New Mexico requires 4 repair attempts and counts business days. The consumer must give prior direct written notice to the manufacturer and an opportunity to cure. Covers vehicles with a gross vehicle weight under 10,000 lbs.

Your Rights Under NM Law

What The Manufacturer Owes You

Under the statute, the remedies open to New Mexico drivers are replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use offset). If your Alamogordo car qualifies under NM law, the case usually ends in one of the three ways below.

Refund

You return the car and the manufacturer pays back the price, taxes, registration fees and finance charges, minus a reasonable use offset.

Replacement Vehicle

The manufacturer replaces the car with a comparable new one at its own cost.

Cash Settlement

You keep the car and receive a payment for its lost value. That payment is negotiated. The statute does not list it.

Have Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

The answers below are based on New Mexico law and on the paperwork Alamogordo drivers usually send us.

PROCESS & TIMELINE

Most of the New Mexico cases we handle settle at the written-demand stage, without a lawsuit. How long that takes depends on your repair history and on the manufacturer. The New Mexico filing deadline is within 18 months following the date of original delivery, or 90 days after the final action of an informal dispute settlement panel, whichever is later.

REMEDIES

N.M. Stat. §57-16A-1 to §57-16A-9 provides for replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use offset). Which one you get depends on your repair history and on what the manufacturer offers.

In New Mexico, a consumer who wins may recover attorney's fees from the manufacturer. We work on contingency, so you pay nothing upfront and there is no attorney's fee unless we recover for you. When a manufacturer settles or loses, we ask it to pay our fee on top of your recovery. The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. §2310(d)) adds a second fee-shifting route when a written warranty is breached. Our fee agreement is one page.

ELIGIBILITY

We handle any warranty defect that substantially impairs the car's use, value or safety and that the dealer could not fix. The defects we see most often are engine stalling and misfires, transmission shudder or failure, electrical faults, brake and steering problems, and driver-assist systems that brake or drift on their own. New Mexico requires 4 repair attempts and counts business days.

ATTORNEY & TRUST

Nothing upfront, and no attorney's fee unless we recover for you. In New Mexico, a consumer who wins may recover attorney's fees from the manufacturer. In most successful New Mexico claims, the manufacturer pays our fee. Repair orders are free from the dealer. We pay the filing costs while the case is open. To start, send us the repair orders for a free case review.

You will have one assigned attorney and a direct line. You get a copy of every letter we send and a note whenever the manufacturer responds. We first check your repair history against N.M. Stat. §57-16A-1 to §57-16A-9. Then written notice goes to the manufacturer, and we demand the statutory remedy, replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use offset). Most cases settle at that stage. If a case does not settle, we take the next formal step that New Mexico law requires.

“Wasn't sure I had a case because my problem seemed small. But it was constant. Same thing over and over. The service manager started avoiding me. Called Easy Lemon just to see. They said send your records. I did. Next thing I know, the manufacturer is offering a settlement. Not small at all. Glad I didn't talk myself out of calling.”
