Va. Code §59.1-207.9 to §59.1-207.16

Is Your Harrisonburg Car a Lemon? Virginia's 3-Step Test

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

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

Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?

In Virginia the test is 3 repair attempts for the same defect (or 1 for serious safety defects), or 30 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?

In Virginia the deadline is 18 months from the date of 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.

Independent city

Court and Venue in Harrisonburg

Harrisonburg is an independent city; the Census lists it as Harrisonburg city, outside any county. Its circuit court is the Rockingham Circuit Court, part of the 26th Judicial Circuit of Virginia, whose clerk's office serves Rockingham County and the City of Harrisonburg. Virginia 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 Virginia lemon law is Va. Code §59.1-207.9 to §59.1-207.16. The consumer must use a state-certified arbitration program before litigation.

The repair test in the statute is 3 repair attempts for the same defect (or 1 for serious safety defects), 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). A consumer who prevails is entitled to 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.

Your Rights Under VA Law

What The Manufacturer Owes You

What the manufacturer owes under Virginia's statute is replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use offset). Most qualifying cases from Harrisonburg under VA law end in one of the three results below.

Refund

The manufacturer takes the car back and pays you the purchase price, taxes, registration fees and finance charges, and it can subtract a reasonable use offset.

Replacement Vehicle

You get a comparable new car in place of the one with the defect, with the manufacturer covering the cost.

Cash Settlement

You keep driving the car and the manufacturer pays you for the lost value. This is a negotiated result, since the statute does not list it.

Have Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

The answers below are based on Virginia law and on the paperwork Harrisonburg drivers usually send us.

ELIGIBILITY

It may. Under Va. Code §59.1-207.9 to §59.1-207.16, your Harrisonburg car can qualify if a defect covered by the warranty is still there after 3 repair attempts for the same defect (or 1 for serious safety defects), or 30 cumulative calendar days out of service. The statute covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Virginia for personal, family, or household use.

We handle any warranty defect that substantially impairs the car's use, value or safety and that the dealer could not fix. The defects we see most often are engine stalling and misfires, transmission shudder or failure, electrical faults, brake and steering problems, and driver-assist systems that brake or drift on their own. Virginia is consumer-friendly with only 3 repair attempts required.

PROCESS & TIMELINE

Usually not. Most lemon law cases we handle for Harrisonburg drivers settle with the manufacturer before a lawsuit is filed. On arbitration, the Virginia rule is: must use state-certified arbitration program before litigation. We prepare that filing for you.

REMEDIES

In Virginia, 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

No. Our offices are in Manhasset NY, Newark NJ, Miami FL and Dallas TX. We handle Virginia 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 Va. Code §59.1-207.9 to §59.1-207.16 requires you to appear anywhere to open a claim. On arbitration, the Virginia rule is: must use state-certified arbitration program before litigation.

Nothing upfront, and no attorney's fee unless we recover for you. In Virginia, the manufacturer pays the consumer's attorney's fees when the consumer wins. In most successful Virginia 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.

Client Testimonials

What Our Clients Are Saying

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

“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.”

“I had an excellent experience with Easylemon! They went above and beyond to help me return my car and successfully recover my money. The whole process could have been stressful, but their team handled everything professionally, efficiently, and with great attention to detail.

I truly appreciate their support, transparency, and dedication throughout the entire process. They kept me informed and made sure my rights were protected every step of the way.

If you’re ever in a similar situation, I highly recommend Easylemon. They really know what they’re doing and genuinely care about their clients.

Thank you again for your outstanding help!”
