How your Wisconsin claim gets built

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

Wis. Stat. §218.0171

Is Your Janesville Car a Lemon? Wisconsin's 3-Step Test

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

Under Wisconsin law, the defect has to substantially impair the vehicle's use, value, or safety. This defect came up in one of Easy Lemon's own Wisconsin cases:

⚠️2025 Kia K5 GT: Recurring transmission judder and stuttering between gears

Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?

In Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin the deadline is 3 years from the date of first delivery to the original consumer. 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.

Rock County

Court and Venue in Janesville

Janesville is in Rock County. Rock County's general civil trial court is the Rock County Circuit Court. Which court hears a particular case still depends on its facts, the warranty issues involved and the law it is brought under.

The Wisconsin lemon law is Wis. Stat. §218.0171. If a state-certified dispute program is available, the consumer must use it before suing.

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 full refund (minus reasonable use offset). Under the statute, a consumer who prevails can recover attorney fees from the manufacturer.

Your Rights Under WI Law

What The Manufacturer Owes You

Wisconsin law provides for replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use offset). There are three ways a qualifying case from Janesville usually ends under WI law.

Refund

Give the car back and the manufacturer repays the price you paid, with the taxes, registration fees and finance charges. A reasonable use offset comes off that amount.

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. You will not find this option in the statute. It is reached by negotiation.

Have Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

The answers below are based on Wisconsin law and on the paperwork Janesville drivers usually send us.

PROCESS & TIMELINE

Most of the Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin filing deadline is within 3 years from the date of first delivery to the original consumer.

ELIGIBILITY

It may. Under Wis. Stat. §218.0171, your Janesville car can qualify if a defect covered by the warranty is still there after 4 repair attempts for the same defect, or 30 cumulative calendar days out of service. The statute covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Wisconsin for purposes other than resale (includes motor homes).

REMEDIES

In Wisconsin, 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 Wisconsin 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 Wis. Stat. §218.0171 requires you to appear anywhere to open a claim. On arbitration, the Wisconsin rule is: if a dispute program certified by the state is available to you, you must use it before you can sue.

Nothing upfront, and no attorney's fee unless we recover for you. In Wisconsin, the manufacturer pays the consumer's attorney's fees when the consumer wins. In most successful Wisconsin 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 Wis. Stat. §218.0171. 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 Wisconsin law requires.

Client Testimonials

What Our Clients Are Saying

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

“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!”
