Do You Qualify?
It takes about a minute. Four questions, and you find out if the lemon law may apply.
You Likely Qualify!
Your answers line up with the basic lemon law test. The next step is for an attorney to confirm that from your repair orders. Because we work on a contingency basis, there are no attorney’s fees unless we recover for you.
You May Not Qualify Under Standard Lemon Law
Your answers fall outside the usual lemon law test. That does not rule out other consumer protection laws. Contact us anyway.

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

Elizabethtown Lemon Law Basics
Claims from Elizabethtown fall under Ky. Rev. Stat. §367.840 to §367.846, which covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Kentucky for personal use. If the defect is still there once your repair orders reach one of the repair limits in the box above, and you are within the deadline, you may have a claim. Our Kentucky Lemon Law Attorneys page has the statute text, the deadlines and the used-car rules.

Is Your Elizabethtown Car a Lemon? Kentucky's 3-Step Test
Does the Defect Substantially Impair Use, Value, or Safety?
Under Kentucky law, the defect has to substantially impair the vehicle's use, value, or safety.
Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?
In Kentucky 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?
In Kentucky, a claim must be filed within 2 years after the date of original delivery of the vehicle to the buyer. 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.
Court and Venue in Elizabethtown
Elizabethtown is in Hardin County. Hardin County's general civil trial court is the Hardin County Circuit Court, part of the 9th Judicial Circuit. Kentucky 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 Kentucky lemon law is Ky. Rev. Stat. §367.840 to §367.846. If the manufacturer's arbitration program is state-certified, the consumer must use it.
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 a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use. The court may award reasonable attorney fees to a plaintiff who prevails.
Open recalls on your vehicle can be checked against NHTSA records at easylemon.com/recalls. A recall alone is not a lemon law claim.

Kentucky Lemon Law - Motor Vehicle Warranty Act: The Rules That Decide an Elizabethtown Claim

What The Manufacturer Owes You
Kentucky's statute lists a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use. In practice, a qualifying Elizabethtown case 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.
