How your Delaware claim gets built

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

Clayton Lemon Law

Clayton Lemon Law Basics

A Clayton car is judged against Delaware's statute, Del. Code tit. 6, §5001 to §5009, and that law covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Delaware for personal, family, or household use (under 10,000 lbs GVWR). So the first question is coverage, and the second is whether your repair orders reach one of the repair limits in the box above. If they do, and the defect is still there and the deadline has not run out, you may have a claim. The statute text, the filing deadlines and how used cars are treated are all on our Delaware Lemon Law Attorneys page.

Step by Step

How a Clayton Lemon Law Claim Works

This is what happens after you call us from Clayton.

Document Your Repairs

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

Free Case Evaluation

We read your repair history against the Delaware 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 any written notice to the manufacturer that DE law requires. We deal with the manufacturer for you.

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.

Del. Code tit. 6, §5001 to §5009

Is Your Clayton Car a Lemon? Delaware's 3-Step Test

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

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

Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?

In Delaware the test is 4 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?

The Delaware lemon law does not set its own deadline to sue, but defects must be reported within the warranty term or 1 year from original delivery, whichever is earlier. 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.

Kent County & New Castle County

Court and Venue in Clayton

Parts of Clayton lie in Kent County and New Castle County, per the 2020 Census. Their general civil trial courts are the Superior Court of the State of Delaware, sitting in Kent County and the Superior Court of the State of Delaware, sitting in New Castle County. Which court hears a particular case still depends on its facts, the warranty issues involved and the law it is brought under.

The Delaware lemon law is Del. Code tit. 6, §5001 to §5009. Arbitration is available in Delaware but not required before a lawsuit.

The repair test in the statute is 4 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 full refund (minus reasonable use offset). The court may award a consumer who prevails costs and reasonable attorney fees.

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

Delaware Lemon Law: The Rules That Decide a Clayton Claim

Some Delaware rules sit outside the repair test, the arbitration rule and the deadline, which you can find under Court and Venue above. Those other rules are here.

Notable provisions of Delaware Lemon Law

Delaware requires the manufacturer to provide a clear written warranty at time of sale. The lemon law specifically covers motor homes (the chassis and drivetrain, not the living quarters).

Your Rights Under DE Law

What The Manufacturer Owes You

Delaware's statute lists replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use offset). In practice, a qualifying Clayton case under DE law usually ends in one of three ways, and the cards below explain each.

Refund

You return the car. The price comes back to you, and so do the taxes, the registration fees and the finance charges, after a reasonable use offset is taken off.

Replacement Vehicle

You trade the defective car for a comparable new one, and the manufacturer pays what the swap costs.

Cash Settlement

The car stays with you, and the manufacturer pays for the drop in value the defect caused. The statute does not provide for this. It comes out of negotiation.

Have Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

The answers below are based on Delaware law and on the paperwork Clayton drivers usually send us.

PROCESS & TIMELINE

Bring the repair orders from your Clayton 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.

Usually not. Most lemon law cases we handle for Clayton drivers settle with the manufacturer before a lawsuit is filed. On arbitration, the Delaware rule is: arbitration is available but not required before litigation.

ELIGIBILITY

It may. Under Del. Code tit. 6, §5001 to §5009, your Clayton car can qualify if a defect covered by the warranty is still there after 4 repair attempts for the same defect, or 30 cumulative calendar days out of service. The statute covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Delaware for personal, family, or household use (under 10,000 lbs GVWR).

REMEDIES

In Delaware, the court may award a consumer who prevails costs and reasonable attorney fees. 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 Delaware 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 Del. Code tit. 6, §5001 to §5009 requires you to appear anywhere to open a claim. On arbitration, the Delaware rule is: arbitration is available but not required before litigation.

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 Del. Code tit. 6, §5001 to §5009. Then written notice goes to the manufacturer, and we demand the statutory remedy, replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use offset). Most cases settle at that stage. If a case does not settle, we take the next formal step that Delaware law requires.

Client Testimonials

What Our Clients Are Saying

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

“I'm not a lawyer, but I tried. I filed complaints with the BBB. I called the manufacturer's customer service line so many times they knew my voice. I even wrote a letter to the dealership owner. Nothing.
My Honda Pilot's fuel system kept throwing check engine codes for the evaporative emissions system. Four visits, four 'fixes,' four returns of the light.
A friend said 'just call a lemon law firm already.' I called Easy Lemon and spoke to Natalie Nassi. First thing she said: 'You've done the hard work already. Now let us do ours.'
She was right. She took my mountain of paperwork—my letters, my complaint case numbers, my repair orders—and organized it into a real claim. The manufacturer settled in two months.
Why them? Natalie valued the effort I'd already put in. She didn't start from zero; she built on my frustration. That respect made all the difference.”

“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.”
