Cape Coral Lemon Law

Cape Coral Lemon Law Basics

Florida's lemon law, Fla. Stat. §681.10 to §681.118, is the one that applies in Cape Coral. It covers new or demonstrator motor vehicles purchased or leased in Florida primarily for personal, family, or household use. You may have a claim once your repair orders reach one of the repair limits in the box above, as long as the defect is still there and you are inside the deadline. Our Florida Lemon Law Attorneys page has the full statute text, the filing deadlines and the used-car rules.

Step by Step

How a Cape Coral Lemon Law Claim Works

This is what happens after you call us from Cape Coral.

Document Your Repairs

Keep every repair order from your Cape Coral dealership, even the short ones. Under Florida's lemon law, those papers are the written proof of each repair attempt.

Free Case Evaluation

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

We File the Claim

We write and send the paperwork, including the written notice to the manufacturer by registered or express mail that Florida law requires after the third repair attempt, and the separate written notice due once the vehicle has been out of service 15 cumulative days. We deal with the manufacturer for you.

You Get Compensated

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

Fla. Stat. §681.10 to §681.118

Is Your Cape Coral Car a Lemon? Florida's 3-Step Test

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

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

Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?

In Florida the test is 3 repair attempts for the same defect plus a final repair attempt after written notice, or 30 cumulative calendar days out of service (60 for recreational vehicles), 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 Florida, a claim must be filed within 60 days after the end of the 24-month Lemon Law rights period. We check that deadline 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 think you are past a deadline, call us anyway. We may still be able to help.

Lee County

Court and Venue in Cape Coral

Cape Coral is in Lee County. Lee County's general civil trial court is the Circuit Court of the Twentieth Judicial Circuit. Florida 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 Florida lemon law is Fla. Stat. §681.10 to §681.118. Written notice to the manufacturer goes by registered or express mail, not certified mail (Fla. Stat. §681.104(1)(a)), and the manufacturer then gets a final repair attempt. The claim must first go through the Florida New Motor Vehicle Arbitration Board.

The repair test in the statute is 3 repair attempts for the same defect, plus a final repair attempt after written notice, or 30 cumulative calendar days (60 days for recreational vehicles) with the vehicle out of service. The statutory remedy is a replacement vehicle or a refund of the purchase price, minus a reasonable offset for use. Under the statute, a consumer who prevails can recover 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.

What the Statute Says

Florida Lemon Law - Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act: The Rules That Decide a Cape Coral Claim

We covered the repair test and the arbitration rule in the Court and Venue section above. Below are other Florida rules that can matter to a Cape Coral claim.

Notable provisions of Florida Lemon Law - Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act

Florida uses a state-run arbitration board, not a manufacturer-run one. After 15 cumulative days out of service the consumer must notify the manufacturer in writing; the 30-day figure is what raises the presumption of a reasonable number of repair attempts. The law covers vehicles within the Lemon Law rights period (24 months from delivery).

Your Rights Under Florida Law

What The Manufacturer Owes You

Florida law provides for a replacement vehicle or a refund of the purchase price, minus a reasonable offset for use. There are three ways a qualifying case from Cape Coral usually ends.

Refund

Give the car back and the manufacturer repays the price you paid, with the taxes, registration fees and finance charges. A reasonable use offset comes off that amount.

Replacement Vehicle

The manufacturer hands you a comparable new car and pays the cost of the exchange.

Cash Settlement

The car stays yours and the manufacturer pays for the value the defect took off it. You will not find this option in the statute. It is reached by negotiation.

Have Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

The answers below are based on Florida law and on the paperwork Cape Coral drivers usually send us.

PROCESS & TIMELINE

Bring the repair orders from your Cape Coral dealer, your purchase or lease contract and your warranty booklet. Of the three, the repair orders carry the case. Each one shows the date, the mileage and what the service department did or did not fix. If a few are missing, ask the service desk for copies.

ELIGIBILITY

It may. Under Fla. Stat. §681.10 to §681.118, your Cape Coral car can qualify if a defect covered by the warranty is still there after 3 repair attempts for the same defect, plus a final repair attempt after written notice, or 30 cumulative calendar days (60 days for recreational vehicles) out of service. The statute covers new or demonstrator motor vehicles purchased or leased in Florida primarily for personal, family, or household use.

REMEDIES

Under Fla. Stat. §681.10 to §681.118, the remedy is a replacement vehicle or a refund of the purchase price, minus a reasonable offset for use. Which one you get depends on your repair history and on what the manufacturer offers.

In Florida, the manufacturer pays the consumer's attorney's fees when the consumer wins. 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.

ATTORNEY & TRUST

Nothing upfront, and no attorney's fee unless we recover for you. In Florida, the manufacturer pays the consumer's attorney's fees when the consumer wins. When a manufacturer settles, we ask it to pay our fee on top of your recovery. 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 Fla. Stat. §681.10 to §681.118. Then written notice goes to the manufacturer, and we demand the statutory remedy, a replacement vehicle or a refund of the purchase price, minus a reasonable offset for use. Most cases settle at that stage. If a case does not settle, the next step is set by Florida law. In Florida, you must first go through the Florida New Motor Vehicle Arbitration Board. The board is state-run, not run by the manufacturer.

“My car made an awful noise whenever I turned in one particular direction, so I took it in for a warranty repair—yet they couldn't fix the issue. After five repair visits with the problem still ongoing, I decided to search for a lemon law attorney to review my case. Thankfully, I came across Easy Lemon via a Google search. After I submitted all my repair records, they took my case and won me a very generous cash settlement! They always kept me informed with updates, and the entire process was seamless. I highly recommend Easy Lemon if you're looking for a lemon law attorney—I'll say it again, choose Easy Lemon!”

“I had a great experience working with Easy Lemon regarding a ongoing issue I was dealing with Audi. After getting nowhere on my own with the manufacturer, I reached out to Easy Lemon. They listened to my situation carefully and took on my case. In the end, Audi accepted responsibility and agreed to buy back the vehicle I purchased last September. The entire team was responsive and kept me updated every step of the way. They definitely have another very satisfied customer!”
