Is Your Car a Lemon?
Buying a car should bring peace of mind—not endless trips to the mechanic. If your vehicle has serious defects that make it unsafe, unreliable, or significantly lower its value, and the manufacturer or dealer has failed to fix the problem after multiple attempts, it might be classified as a Lemon.
Luckily, Lemon Laws exist in most states to protect consumers from getting stuck with defective cars. Depending on where you live, you could be entitled to a refund, a replacement, or compensation.
Here are some key indicators that your car might be a Lemon:
- Your vehicle makes strange noises, shakes, or consistently has problems.
- Your vehicle has been to the dealership multiple times but they still can't fix it.
Understanding Florida's Lemon Law
Florida’s Lemon Law — officially the Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act, Chapter 681 of the Florida Statutes — is one of the strongest consumer protection laws in the country. It protects you when a new or leased vehicle has a substantial defect that the manufacturer cannot repair.
Under Florida Statute 681.104, your vehicle may qualify as a lemon if the manufacturer or its authorized dealers have been unable to fix a covered defect after a reasonable number of repair attempts:
- ✓ Chapter 681 — Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act
- ✓ New & leased vehicles within 24 months / 24,000 miles
- ✓ 3 repair attempts OR 30+ days out of service
- ✓ Full refund, replacement, or cash settlement
- ✓ Manufacturer pays your attorney fees
- ✓ State arbitration available but NOT required
All within 24 months or 24,000 miles of original delivery. Florida law entitles you to a full refund, replacement vehicle, or cash settlement. The manufacturer pays attorney fees — $0 cost to you.

Frequently Asked Questions
PROCESS & TIMELINE
How much does it cost to hire Easy Lemon?
Who pays the attorney fees?
Under Florida’s Lemon Law (Florida Statute 681.10-681.117) and similar consumer protection laws, when consumers prevail, statutes require manufacturers to pay attorney fees and costs. This is a statutory provision, not a guarantee of outcome. Whether you qualify depends on your circumstances. Ronald Scott Kaniuk, Esq., FL Bar #112240
What if my case is not successful?
Our contingency fee structure means if we don’t achieve a favorable outcome, you owe nothing for attorney fees. However, case outcomes vary significantly based on individual facts, vehicle history, and applicable state law. We carefully evaluate cases before acceptance. Call 855-435-3666 for evaluation.
Are there hidden fees?
No. We advance all case costs including filing fees and expert witnesses. If your case is successful, these costs are typically recovered from the manufacturer per statute. If unsuccessful, you owe nothing. Specific terms are detailed in our representation agreement.
ELIGIBILITY
How long does a lemon law case take?
Case duration varies significantly based on many factors including manufacturer responsiveness, case complexity, and whether settlement is reached or litigation is required. Some cases resolve in weeks, others take months or longer. Each situation is unique. We provide regular updates throughout your case.
Will I have to go to court?
While many lemon law cases settle through negotiation, we cannot predict whether your specific case will require court proceedings. The need for litigation depends on manufacturer cooperation, case facts, and negotiation outcomes. We handle all court proceedings if necessary. Each case is different.
What is the lemon law process?
Typically: 1) Initial consultation to review eligibility, 2) Document collection and case evaluation, 3) Formal claim submission to manufacturer, 4) Negotiation or litigation. Florida process may include arbitration. Most work is handled remotely. Call 855-435-3666 to discuss your situation. Results vary.
How does the process start?
Call 855-435-3666 or visit easylemon.com for a free case evaluation. We’ll review your vehicle history and Florida law requirements to determine if you may qualify for lemon law protection. No obligation. Ronald Scott Kaniuk, Esq., FL Bar #112240. Initial consultations are free.
Do I need to visit your office?
No. We handle most cases entirely remotely via phone, email, and video conference. Office visits are rarely necessary. We serve clients throughout Florida regardless of their location. All consultations can be conducted by phone or video. Call 855-435-3666 to get started.
Does my car qualify as a lemon?
Eligibility depends on Florida law and specific facts. Generally, vehicles may qualify if: defect substantially impairs safety, use, or value; manufacturer failed to repair after reasonable attempts; issues arose under warranty. Requirements vary. Ronald Scott Kaniuk, Esq., FL Bar #112240
What defects are covered?
Florida Lemon Law typically covers substantial defects affecting safety, use, or value—such as brake failures, transmission issues, engine problems, electrical malfunctions, or steering defects. Minor issues or wear-and-tear generally don’t qualify. Whether your specific defect qualifies depends on Florida law and circumstances.
Do you handle used cars?
Florida’s Lemon Law primarily covers new vehicles. However, used vehicles may qualify under other consumer protection statutes if defects appeared under manufacturer warranty. Eligibility depends on specific circumstances. Call 855-435-3666 to discuss whether your used vehicle may qualify under Florida law.
Do you handle leased vehicles?
Yes. Florida Lemon Law protections typically apply to both purchased and leased vehicles that meet statutory requirements. Whether your leased vehicle qualifies depends on Florida law, warranty status, and specific facts. Call for free evaluation. Ronald Scott Kaniuk, Esq., FL Bar #112240. 855-435-3666.
Can I file if my warranty expired?
Possibly. If defects were first reported while under warranty, you may still have a claim even after expiration. This depends on Florida law and timing. Consult an attorney promptly as statutes of limitation apply. Ronald Scott Kaniuk, Esq., FL Bar #112240. Results vary.
How many repair attempts are needed?
Under Florida Lemon Law, typically 3+ repair attempts for the same problem OR 15+ days out of service within 24-month warranty period. Serious safety defects may require fewer attempts. Whether your situation meets the threshold depends on specific facts.
What if my car doesn't meet standard requirements?
We may explore alternative legal remedies including breach of warranty claims, Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act claims, or other consumer protection statutes. Whether alternative claims are viable depends on your specific circumstances. Results vary by case.
Is there a deadline to file?
Yes. Florida statute of limitation for lemon law claims is typically within 4 years, but notice requirements apply within the warranty period. Timing is critical. Delays can forfeit your rights. Contact us promptly to preserve your claim. Time-sensitive.
OUTCOMES
What can I expect if my case is successful?
Potential remedies under Florida Lemon Law may include: vehicle buyback (refund minus usage allowance), replacement vehicle, or negotiated settlement. Actual outcomes vary significantly by state law, case facts, and negotiations. We cannot predict results for your specific case.
Can I get a full refund for my car?
Under Florida Lemon Law, buybacks may include purchase price minus reasonable usage allowance (mileage ÷ 120,000 × purchase price), plus certain fees. Actual refund amounts vary by case facts. Whether you qualify depends on multiple factors. Results cannot be guaranteed.
What is a cash settlement?
This is a negotiated monetary payment allowing you to keep your vehicle while receiving compensation. Settlement amounts vary widely based on case facts, defect severity, and negotiations. Whether this option is available or advisable depends on your specific circumstances. Outcomes vary.
How much will I receive?
Recovery amounts vary significantly based on Florida law, vehicle purchase price, mileage, repair history, and whether settlement or litigation is involved. We cannot predict specific amounts as each case is unique. Actual results depend on many factors.
Do I have to give back my car?
In buyback or replacement outcomes, yes—you return the vehicle to the manufacturer. With cash settlements, you typically keep the vehicle. Which remedy is pursued depends on Florida law, case facts, your preferences, and manufacturer negotiations. Options vary by situation.
MANUFACTURER QUESTIONS
Do you handle cases against all manufacturers?
We represent clients in lemon law claims against all major manufacturers including domestic and foreign brands. Our experience includes various manufacturers across different states. Whether we can accept your case depends on specific facts and merit evaluation.
What if the manufacturer won't cooperate?
Manufacturer resistance is common. Our attorneys are experienced in negotiations and, when necessary, litigation to enforce consumer rights under Florida statutes. Whether cooperation is achieved depends on case facts, strategy, and legal proceedings.
What if the dealer says they can't duplicate the problem?
Intermittent defects can be challenging but may still qualify under Florida Lemon Law if substantially impairing the vehicle. We use documentation, your testimony, and potentially technical experts to establish defect existence. Whether this succeeds depends on case facts.
ATTORNEY & TRUST
Should I hire a lawyer for my lemon law claim?
While self-representation is possible, manufacturers have legal teams and resources. An experienced attorney understands Florida law requirements, negotiation strategies, and litigation procedures. Whether to hire counsel is your decision.
Will I work with an actual attorney?
Yes. Licensed attorneys handle legal strategy, negotiations, and court proceedings. Support staff assist with documentation and administrative tasks. Your case is overseen by experienced lemon law attorneys.
How experienced is Easy Lemon?
Our attorneys focus on consumer protection and lemon law cases. Ronald Scott Kaniuk has practiced since 1997 and holds an LL.M. in Bankruptcy. We have represented numerous clients in vehicle warranty disputes. Whether we’re the right fit for your case depends on your specific situation.
