How your Massachusetts claim gets built
Our lemon law work is directed by Steven P. Nassi, Esq., Managing Partner, Easy Lemon by RockPoint Law P.C. A Massachusetts claim gets built on two things: the Massachusetts 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.

Boston Lemon Law Basics
Boston drivers file under Massachusetts's statute, Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 90, §7N½. If the dealer can't fix a warranty defect after 3 repair attempts for the same defect, or the car sits in the shop for 15 cumulative business days, you can ask for a refund, a replacement or a cash payment. The manufacturer can also be ordered to pay your attorney's fees. Statute text, filing deadlines and how used cars are treated are on our Massachusetts Lemon Law Attorneys page.

Is Your Boston Car a Lemon? Massachusetts's 3-Step Test
Does the Defect Substantially Impair Use, Value, or Safety?
The defect must materially affect how you drive, how much your vehicle is worth, or how safe it is to operate. In Boston, common qualifying defects include:
- ⚠️SUSPENSION DAMAGE from Boston's notoriously potholed streets on Commonwealth Avenue, Storrow Drive, and Dorchester Ave
- ⚠️TRANSMISSION FAILURE from constant stop-and-go on I-93 through the city and the Sumner/Callahan Tunnel approaches
- ⚠️ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MALFUNCTION from road salt and brine corrosion during 5-month New England winters on city streets
- ⚠️BRAKE SYSTEM DEFECTS from aggressive braking on narrow Back Bay streets and the rotaries in South Boston
Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?
Massachusetts's Lemon Law triggers when any of these conditions are met, so long as you bring your claim within the first 15,000 miles or 1 year after original delivery (whichever comes first):
Did It Happen Within the Rights Period?
The clock starts on the day you take delivery of your vehicle, not when you first report the defect, not when you file a complaint. Under Massachusetts law, a claim must generally be brought within the first 15,000 miles or 1 year after original delivery (whichever comes first). If you're still within that window, or if your defect first appeared within the window and persists, you almost certainly qualify.
When in doubt, call. The consultation is always free. 📞 (855) 435-3666
Even if you're outside the eligibility window, contact us. Our team may still be able to assist.
Boston Driving Conditions & Why Defects Emerge Here
Boston's coastal location creates a uniquely challenging environment for motor vehicles. Salt air, humidity, and bridge crossings all contribute to accelerated wear and defects.
🗺️ Local Driving Demands
Boston drivers navigate demanding corridors including I-90, I-93, and US-1 daily. Higher mileage from daily commuting influences the usage offset in lemon law claims. The earlier you report defects, the lower your offset and the stronger your case.
🌉 The Bridge Factor
The major bridge and highway infrastructure including the Zakim Bridge, the Longfellow Bridge, and the Tobin Memorial Bridge create load profiles that expose transmission hesitation and engine defects flat-road driving conceals. Clients report vehicles that "drive fine on flat roads" but exhibit problems under load.
🌊 Coastal & Salt Air Exposure
Boston's coastal location exposes vehicles to salt-laden air and humidity year-round. Salt corrosion attacks electrical connectors invisibly, causing intermittent faults that dealers can't "duplicate." Our attorneys document these coastal damage patterns.
🌡️ Climate Stress on Vehicles
Boston's seasonal temperature range, from summer highs to winter lows, creates thermal cycling that stresses HVAC, cooling, and electrical systems over time. Massachusetts's Lemon Law recognizes these climate-related failures as a substantial impairment.
🚗 Heavy Commuter Traffic
Boston's major traffic corridors including I-90, I-93, and US-1 create heavy stop-and-go conditions that stress transmission fluid temperatures, cooling systems, and hybrid/EV battery management. These could qualify as lemon law defects.
