Bethlehem Lemon Law

Bethlehem Lemon Law Basics

The law that applies in Bethlehem is Pennsylvania's lemon law, 73 Pa. Stat. §1951 to §1960, and it covers new motor vehicles purchased, leased, or registered in Pennsylvania for personal, family, or household purposes. You may have a claim if your repair orders reach one of the repair limits in the box above while the defect is still there and you are inside the deadline. The statute text, the filing deadlines and the rules on used cars are on our Pennsylvania Lemon Law Attorneys page.

Step by Step

How a Bethlehem Lemon Law Claim Works

This is what happens after you call us from Bethlehem.

1

Document Your Repairs

Keep every repair order from your Bethlehem dealership, even the short ones. PA lemon law needs written proof of each repair attempt, and those papers are the proof.

2

Free Case Evaluation

We read your repair history against the Pennsylvania statute and tell you whether the car qualifies. The review costs nothing, and there are no attorney's fees unless we recover for you.

3

We File the Claim

We write and send the paperwork, including any written notice to the manufacturer that PA law requires. We deal with the manufacturer for you.

4

You Get Compensated

The case ends with a refund, a replacement vehicle or a cash settlement. There are no attorney's fees unless we recover for you.

73 Pa. Stat. §1951 to §1960

Is Your Bethlehem Car a Lemon? Pennsylvania's 3-Step Test

1

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

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

2

Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?

In Pennsylvania the test is 3 repair attempts for the same defect, or 30 cumulative calendar 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.

3

Did It Happen Within the Rights Period?

In Pennsylvania the deadline is the first 12 months, 12,000 miles, or the express warranty period (whichever is earliest). 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.

Lehigh County & Northampton County

Court and Venue in Bethlehem

Parts of Bethlehem lie in Lehigh County and Northampton County, per the 2020 Census. Their general civil trial courts are the Court of Common Pleas of Lehigh County (Thirty-First Judicial District) and the Court of Common Pleas of Northampton County (Third Judicial District). Which court hears a particular case still depends on its facts, the warranty issues involved and the law it is brought under.

The Pennsylvania lemon law is 73 Pa. Stat. §1951 to §1960. If the manufacturer has a dispute program that follows federal FTC rules, the consumer must use it first, but its decision does not bind the consumer.

The repair test in the statute is 3 repair attempts for the same defect, or 30 cumulative calendar days with the vehicle out of service. The statutory remedy is a replacement vehicle, full refund, or cash settlement. Under the statute, a consumer who prevails can recover reasonable attorney fees from the manufacturer.

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

Your Rights Under PA Law

What The Manufacturer Owes You

The Pennsylvania statute provides for replacement vehicle, full refund, or cash settlement, and a qualifying PA case from Bethlehem usually ends in one of these three ways.

$

Refund

You hand back the car. In return the manufacturer repays the price, the taxes, the registration fees and the finance charges.

Replacement Vehicle

You leave with a comparable new car. The manufacturer pays for the swap.

$

Cash Settlement

You keep the car, and the manufacturer pays you for the value the defect took off it.

Frequently Asked Questions

The answers below are based on Pennsylvania law and on the paperwork Bethlehem drivers usually send us.

PROCESS & TIMELINE
Most of the Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania filing deadline is within the first 12 months, 12,000 miles, or the express warranty period (whichever is earliest).
ELIGIBILITY
It may. Under 73 Pa. Stat. §1951 to §1960, your Bethlehem car can qualify if a defect covered by the warranty is still there after 3 repair attempts for the same defect, or 30 cumulative calendar days out of service. The statute covers new motor vehicles purchased, leased, or registered in Pennsylvania for personal, family, or household purposes.
73 Pa. Stat. §1951 to §1960 covers new motor vehicles purchased, leased, or registered in Pennsylvania for personal, family, or household purposes. If you bought used, send the paperwork anyway, including any written warranty that came with the car.
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. Pennsylvania is consumer-friendly, with only 3 repair attempts required.
ATTORNEY & TRUST
No. Our offices are in Manhasset NY, Newark NJ, Miami FL and Dallas TX. We handle Pennsylvania cases by phone, email and e-signature. You upload your repair orders, your contract and your warranty booklet. We send the demand letter and handle the settlement paperwork. Nothing in 73 Pa. Stat. §1951 to §1960 requires you to appear anywhere to open a claim. On arbitration, the Pennsylvania rule is: if the manufacturer has a dispute program that follows federal FTC rules, you must use it first, but its decision does not bind you.
Nothing upfront, and no attorney's fee unless we recover for you. In Pennsylvania, the manufacturer pays the consumer's attorney's fees when the consumer wins. In most successful Pennsylvania 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.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Easy Lemon has handled 1,500+ lemon law matters‡.

“My Jeep Wrangler's manual transmission would pop out of reverse. Dealer kept it twice, said they couldn't replicate. Third time they replaced the shifter. Still popped out. I was backing out of my driveway and it nearly rolled into the street. Called Easy Lemon and Natalie Nassi said that's a major safety defect. She took my case and Jeep bought it back. Now I drive something that stays in gear.”

“My Ram 2500's check engine light came on for the same evap code four times in six months. Dealer kept replacing gas caps, sensors, the whole runaround. Light would stay off for a week then pop back on. I was so tired of seeing that orange glow on my dash every morning. Called Easy Lemon and they took my service records and ran with it. Four months later, Ram sent a settlement check. No more anxiety every time I start the truck.”

“I had an excellent experience with Easylemon! They went above and beyond to help me return my car and successfully recover my money. The whole process could have been stressful, but their team handled everything professionally, efficiently, and with great attention to detail.

I truly appreciate their support, transparency, and dedication throughout the entire process. They kept me informed and made sure my rights were protected every step of the way.

If you’re ever in a similar situation, I highly recommend Easylemon. They really know what they’re doing and genuinely care about their clients.

Thank you again for your outstanding help!”
