Keyser Lemon Law

Keyser Lemon Law Basics

In Keyser, as anywhere else in West Virginia, a lemon law claim is brought under W. Va. Code §46A-6A-1 to §46A-6A-9. The statute covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in West Virginia for personal, family, or household use, but being covered is only the start. The car also has to reach one of the repair limits in the box above, with the defect still unrepaired and the deadline not yet passed. If it does, you may have a claim. Our West Virginia Lemon Law Attorneys page goes through the statute text, the filing deadlines and used cars in more detail.

W. Va. Code §46A-6A-1 to §46A-6A-9

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

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

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

Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?

In West 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 West Virginia the deadline is 1 year of the expiration of the express warranty term. 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.

Mineral County

Court and Venue in Keyser

Keyser is in Mineral County. Mineral County's general civil trial court is the Circuit Court of Mineral County, part of the Twenty-Fifth Judicial Circuit. West 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 West Virginia lemon law is W. Va. Code §46A-6A-1 to §46A-6A-9. If the manufacturer's arbitration program is state-certified, the consumer must complete it first.

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 may recover 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 WV Law

What The Manufacturer Owes You

What the manufacturer owes under West Virginia's statute is replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use offset). Most qualifying cases from Keyser under WV 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 West Virginia law and on the paperwork Keyser drivers usually send us.

PROCESS & TIMELINE

Most of the West Virginia 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 West Virginia filing deadline is within 1 year of the expiration of the express warranty term.

Bring the repair orders from your Keyser dealer, your purchase or lease contract and your warranty booklet. Of the three, the repair orders carry the case. Each one shows the date, the mileage and what the service department did or did not fix. If a few are missing, ask the service desk for copies.

Usually not. Most lemon law cases we handle for Keyser drivers settle with the manufacturer before a lawsuit is filed. On arbitration, the West Virginia rule is: must exhaust manufacturer's arbitration if state-certified. We prepare that filing for you.

ELIGIBILITY

It may. Under W. Va. Code §46A-6A-1 to §46A-6A-9, your Keyser 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 West Virginia for personal, family, or household use.

W. Va. Code §46A-6A-1 to §46A-6A-9 covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in West Virginia for personal, family, or household use. If you bought used, send the paperwork anyway, including any written warranty that came with the car.

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. West Virginia requires 3 repair attempts, and only 1 when the nonconformity is likely to cause death or serious bodily injury if the vehicle is driven.

Client Testimonials

What Our Clients Are Saying

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

“Wasn't sure I had a case because my problem seemed small. But it was constant. Same thing over and over. The service manager started avoiding me. Called Easy Lemon just to see. They said send your records. I did. Next thing I know, the manufacturer is offering a settlement. Not small at all. Glad I didn't talk myself out of calling.”

“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.”
