Document Your Repairs

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

Free Case Evaluation

We read your repair history against the Tennessee 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 certified mail that Tennessee law requires. 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.

Is Your Chattanooga Car a Lemon? Tennessee's 3-Step Test

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

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

Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?

In Tennessee 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.

Did It Happen Within the Rights Period?

In Tennessee, a claim must be brought within 6 months after the later of the express warranty term expiring or 1 year from original delivery. 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.

Hamilton County

Court and Venue in Chattanooga

Chattanooga is in Hamilton County. Hamilton County has its own Circuit Court. Which court hears a particular case still depends on its facts, the warranty issues involved and the law it is brought under.

The Tennessee lemon law is Tenn. Code §55-24-101 to §55-24-112. If the manufacturer's arbitration program is state-certified, the consumer must use it.

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 or a full refund, 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

Tennessee Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act: The Rules That Decide a Chattanooga Claim

Looking for the repair test or the arbitration rule? Those are under Court and Venue above. Tennessee law has a few more rules, and they are listed here.

Notable provisions of Tennessee Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act

Tennessee requires 3 repair attempts, or 30 cumulative calendar days out of service, within the term of protection — the express warranty or 1 year from delivery, whichever comes first. Written notice to the manufacturer by certified mail is required, after which the manufacturer has up to 10 days to cure. Tenn. Code ch. 55-24 provides no reduced-attempt route for safety-related defects.

Your Rights Under Tennessee Law

What The Manufacturer Owes You

The Tennessee statute provides for a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use, and a qualifying case from Chattanooga 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, with a reasonable use offset taken out.

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. This result is not listed in the statute and comes from negotiation.

Have Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

The answers below are based on Tennessee law and on the paperwork Chattanooga drivers usually send us.

PROCESS & TIMELINE

Most of the Tennessee 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. In Tennessee, a claim must be brought within 6 months after the later of the express warranty term expiring or 1 year from original delivery.

ELIGIBILITY

Tenn. Code §55-24-101 to §55-24-112 covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Tennessee for personal, family, or household use. If you bought used, send the paperwork anyway, including any written warranty that came with the car.

REMEDIES

Under Tenn. Code §55-24-101 to §55-24-112, the remedy is a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use. Which one you get depends on your repair history and on what the manufacturer offers.

In Tennessee, 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

No. Our offices are in Manhasset NY, Newark NJ, Miami FL and Dallas TX. We handle Tennessee 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 Tenn. Code §55-24-101 to §55-24-112 requires you to appear anywhere to open a claim.

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 Tenn. Code §55-24-101 to §55-24-112. Then written notice goes to the manufacturer, and we demand the statutory remedy, a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use. Most cases settle at that stage. If a case does not settle, the next step is set by Tennessee law. In Tennessee, you must use the manufacturer's arbitration program first if it is state-certified.

Client Testimonials

What Our Clients Are Saying

Easy Lemon has handled 3,000+ lemon law cases^‡.

“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 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.
