Edison Lemon Law

Edison Lemon Law Basics

An Edison car is judged against New Jersey's statute, N.J. Stat. §56:12-29 to §56:12-49, and that law covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in New Jersey for personal, family, or household use, and certain used vehicles. 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 New Jersey Lemon Law Attorneys page.

We read your repair history against the New Jersey 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 NJ 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.

N.J. Stat. §56:12-29 to §56:12-49

Is Your Edison Car a Lemon? New Jersey's 3-Step Test

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

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

Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?

In New Jersey the test is 3 repair attempts for the same defect (or 1 for serious safety defects), or 20 cumulative calendar days out of service, as long as the claim is brought within the deadline in step 3. For a defect that could cause serious bodily injury or death, 1 repair attempt is enough. Count the visits on your repair orders to see where you stand.

Did It Happen Within the Rights Period?

The New Jersey lemon law does not set its own deadline to sue, but defects must be reported within 2 years or 24,000 miles 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.

Middlesex County

Court and Venue in Edison

Edison is in Middlesex County. Middlesex County's general civil trial court is the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Civil Part, Middlesex County, part of the Middlesex Vicinage. Smaller claims stay in the Superior Court but go to its Special Civil Part. Which court hears a particular case still depends on its facts, the warranty issues involved and the law it is brought under.

The New Jersey lemon law is N.J. Stat. §56:12-29 to §56:12-49. Notice to the manufacturer goes by certified mail, return receipt requested (N.J.S.A. §56:12-33(b)), and the manufacturer then gets one repair opportunity within 10 calendar days of receiving it. The consumer may go directly to court or use voluntary arbitration.

The repair test in the statute is 3 repair attempts for the same defect (or 1 for serious safety defects), or 20 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 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

New Jersey Lemon Law: The Rules That Decide an Edison Claim

We covered the repair test, the arbitration rule and the deadline in the Court and Venue section above. Below are other New Jersey rules that can matter to an Edison claim.

Notable provisions of New Jersey Lemon Law

New Jersey is one of the strongest lemon law states — only 20 days out of service, no mandatory arbitration, and it also has a separate Used Car Lemon Law covering used vehicles bought from dealers. One repair attempt is sufficient for serious safety defects.

Your Rights Under NJ Law

What The Manufacturer Owes You

New Jersey law provides for replacement vehicle, full refund, or cash settlement. There are three ways a qualifying case from Edison usually ends under NJ law.

Refund

Give the car back and the manufacturer repays the price you paid, with the taxes, registration fees and finance charges.

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.

Have Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

The answers below are based on New Jersey law and on the paperwork Edison drivers usually send us.

PROCESS & TIMELINE

Most of the New Jersey 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 New Jersey lemon law does not set its own filing deadline, but defects must be reported within 2 years or 24,000 miles from original delivery, whichever is earlier.

Usually not. Most lemon law cases we handle for Edison drivers settle with the manufacturer before a lawsuit is filed. On arbitration, the New Jersey rule is: consumer may proceed directly to court or use voluntary arbitration.

REMEDIES

N.J. Stat. §56:12-29 to §56:12-49 provides for replacement vehicle, full refund, or cash settlement. Which one you get depends on your repair history and on what the manufacturer offers.

In New Jersey, 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 New Jersey, the manufacturer pays the consumer's attorney's fees when the consumer wins. In most successful New Jersey 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.

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 N.J. Stat. §56:12-29 to §56:12-49. Then written notice goes to the manufacturer, and we demand the statutory remedy, replacement vehicle, full refund, or cash settlement. Most cases settle at that stage. If a case does not settle, we take the next formal step that New Jersey law requires.

Client Testimonials

What Our Clients Are Saying

Easy Lemon has handled 1,500+ lemon law matters^‡, recovering over $30 million^** for clients.

“My Honda Pilot's backup camera would go black right when I needed it. Dealer replaced it once. Broke again. Replaced it again. Third time they said 'they're working on it.' I have kids, I need that camera. Called Easy Lemon and Natalie Nassi said a safety feature failing repeatedly counts. She filed the claim and Honda settled with cash. Got it fixed at an independent shop and pocketed the rest. Camera's been fine since.”

“My Dodge Challenger's AC would blow hot air on the driver side but cold on passenger. Dealer recharged it twice, replaced a blend door actuator once. Problem came back every time. I was sweating through my shirt in August. Called Easy Lemon and Aaron Waldo said a climate control issue that makes driving uncomfortable counts. His team fought Dodge and got me a cash settlement. Got it fixed at a local shop and the AC has been cold ever since.”

“Wasn't sure I had a case because my problem seemed small. But it was constant. Same thing over and over. The service manager started avoiding me. Called Easy Lemon just to see. They said send your records. I did. Next thing I know, the manufacturer is offering a settlement. Not small at all. Glad I didn't talk myself out of calling.”
