Lemon Law by State
Lemon law is state law. Cross a state line and the numbers change.
New York gives you four repair attempts or 30 days out of service. You have to report the defect within 2 years or 18,000 miles, whichever comes first, and you get 4 years from delivery to sue. Wyoming counts business days instead of calendar days, and its deadline is one year flat. Texas adds a wrinkle: two attempts is enough if the defect is a serious safety issue.
The table lists the governing statute, the repair-attempt threshold, the out-of-service threshold, and the filing deadline state by state, plus Washington D.C. Pick your state for the full detail.

Pursue the Remedy the Law Provides
Too many drivers put up with defective vehicles, believing they have no options. If your car has recurring issues, you have rights. Lemon Laws hold manufacturers accountable, forcing them to fix or replace faulty vehicles instead of leaving consumers stuck with a bad deal.

How We Win For You

Your Victory
A 2024 Cadillac Lyriq in Texas kept braking on its own in wet weather. After 7 repair attempts and 36 days out of service, it ended in a full buyback. Prior outcomes do not guarantee a similar result.
Turn Your Defective Car Into Cash
Manufacturers delay, deny, and hope you give up — we make sure they pay what you’re owed. Easy Lemon takes the fight to automakers, using legal pressure to get you compensated.
Your car doesn’t need to be brand new to qualify, and most drivers wrongly assume they have no case. Automakers rely on people giving up — but with Easy Lemon on your side, you won’t have to.
Do You Qualify for Lemon Law? Here’s How to Tell
Not every car qualifies, but many drivers wrongly assume they have no case. You could be eligible if:
Your vehicle has a defect that impacts safety, drivability, or resale value.
The manufacturer has failed to fix the issue after multiple repair attempts.
Your car has spent 30+ days in the shop for repairs.
The issue started while the vehicle was under warranty.
Even if your case doesn’t meet standard Lemon Law criteria, you may still have legal options. Easy Lemon explores every possible path to get you paid.
How Much Can You Get from a Lemon Law Claim?
Lemon Laws force automakers to compensate you for selling a defective vehicle. You could be owed:
Refund
Get the full purchase price of your vehicle returned, including taxes, fees, and registration costs.
Replacement Vehicle
Receive a comparable new vehicle of the same make and model to replace your defective one.
Cash Settlement
Accept a monetary payout while keeping your vehicle — often the fastest resolution.
Reimbursement
Recover costs for repairs, rental cars, towing, and other expenses related to your defective vehicle.
No Fee Unless We Recover
Most Lemon Law cases require the manufacturer to cover your attorney fees — you pay no attorney’s fees unless we recover for you.
Manufacturers try to lowball drivers but Easy Lemon fights for the full value of your claim.
What Defects Qualify for Lemon Law?
Lemon Laws don’t cover minor inconveniences — but they do protect against serious defects.
Major Mechanical Failures
- Transmission failures or erratic shifting
- Engine stalling, overheating, or loss of power
- Persistent electrical system malfunctions
- Suspension or steering defects
Serious Safety Defects
- Faulty brakes or unresponsive braking systems
- Airbag deployment failures
- Sudden acceleration or deceleration
- Seatbelt or safety restraint malfunctions
EV & Hybrid Defects
- Battery degradation or charging failures
- Regenerative braking malfunctions
- Software or firmware issues affecting driving performance
The Myths That Keep Drivers From Getting Paid
Too many car owners leave money on the table because they fall for manufacturer scare tactics. Here’s the truth:
“My car isn’t new enough to qualify.”
FactMany states cover used and leased vehicles, not just brand-new cars. If the defect started under warranty, you may still have a valid claim.
“Filing a claim is too expensive.”
FactMost Lemon Law cases operate on a contingency basis, meaning the manufacturer pays your legal costs if you win.
“I already accepted a repair, so I can’t file.”
FactIf the problem persists after multiple repair attempts, you likely still qualify under your state’s Lemon Law.
“The process takes too long to be worth it.”
FactSome claims settle quickly and some don’t. The paperwork and the pressure on the manufacturer are the parts we control, and we keep both moving.
If your car qualifies, you have the right to compensation. Waiting too long can let a filing deadline pass.
Why Choose Easy Lemon?
Getting stuck with a defective vehicle is frustrating — but fighting for your rights shouldn’t be. Easy Lemon simplifies the legal process so you can focus on what matters.
