Code §51-07-16 to §51-07-22, and it covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in North Dakota for personal, family, or household use.

Document Your Repairs

We File the Claim

We write and send the paperwork, including any written notice to the manufacturer that ND 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.

Is Your Fargo Car a Lemon? North Dakota's 3-Step Test

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

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

Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?

In North Dakota the test is 4 or more repair attempts for the same defect, or 30 cumulative business 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 North Dakota the deadline is 6 months after the earlier of the express warranty term expiring or 18 months from original delivery. 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.

Cass County

Court and Venue in Fargo

Fargo is in Cass County. Cass County's general civil trial court is the District Court, Cass County (East Central Judicial District). Which court hears a particular case still depends on its facts, the warranty issues involved and the law it is brought under.

The North Dakota lemon law is N.D. Cent. Code §51-07-16 to §51-07-22. The refund or replacement remedy is not available until the consumer has first used the manufacturer's qualifying informal dispute program.

The repair test in the statute is 4 or more repair attempts for the same defect, or 30 cumulative business days with the vehicle out of service. The statutory remedy is a replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use offset). The North Dakota lemon law has no attorney-fee provision of its own.

Open recalls on your vehicle can be checked against NHTSA records at easylemon.com/recalls. A recall alone is not a lemon law claim.

Your Rights Under ND Law

What The Manufacturer Owes You

Under North Dakota law the remedy is replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use offset). A qualifying ND case from Fargo usually closes in one of these three ways.

Refund

The car goes back to the manufacturer, which returns what you paid, with the taxes, registration fees and finance charges, less a reasonable use offset.

Replacement Vehicle

The manufacturer swaps your car for a comparable new one and pays for the exchange.

Cash Settlement

You hold on to the car and are paid for the value the defect cost you. This one is not in the statute. It is negotiated.

Have Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

The answers below are based on North Dakota law and on the paperwork Fargo drivers usually send us.

PROCESS & TIMELINE

Most of the North Dakota 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 North Dakota filing deadline is within 6 months after the earlier of the express warranty term expiring or 18 months from original delivery.

Usually not. Most lemon law cases we handle for Fargo drivers settle with the manufacturer before a lawsuit is filed. On arbitration, the North Dakota rule is: the replacement or refund remedy is unavailable to a consumer who has not first resorted to the manufacturer’s qualifying informal dispute settlement procedure. We prepare that filing for you.

REMEDIES

N.D. Cent. Code §51-07-16 to §51-07-22 provides for replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use offset). Which one you get depends on your repair history and on what the manufacturer offers.

The North Dakota lemon law has no attorney-fee provision of its own. 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)) provides a fee-shifting route of its own 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. The North Dakota lemon law has no attorney-fee provision of its own. In most successful North Dakota 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.D. Cent. Code §51-07-16 to §51-07-22. 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 North Dakota law requires.

Client Testimonials

What Our Clients Are Saying

Easy Lemon has handled 1,500+ lemon law matters^‡.

“My Dodge Challenger's fuel gauge would read empty when the tank was full. Dealer replaced the sending unit, then the whole fuel pump assembly. Same problem. I ran out of gas twice because I thought I had fuel. Stupid design. Called Easy Lemon and they said a safety feature like fuel gauge failing is a big deal. They fought Dodge and got me a buyback. New car doesn't lie to me about how much gas I have.”

“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.”
