How your Kentucky claim gets built

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

Louisville Lemon Law

Louisville Lemon Law Basics

The law that applies in Louisville is Kentucky's lemon law, Ky. Rev. Stat. §367.840 to §367.846, and it covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Kentucky for personal use. You may have a claim if your repair orders reach one of the repair limits in the box above while the defect is still there and you are inside the deadline. The statute text, the filing deadlines and the rules on used cars are on our Kentucky Lemon Law Attorneys page.

Step by Step

How a Louisville Lemon Law Claim Works

This is what happens after you call us from Louisville.

1

Document Your Repairs

Keep every repair order from your Louisville dealership, even the short ones. Under Kentucky's lemon law, those papers are the written proof of each repair attempt.

2

Free Case Evaluation

We read your repair history against the Kentucky statute and tell you whether the car qualifies. The review costs nothing, and there are no attorney's fees unless we recover for you.

3

We File the Claim

We write and send the paperwork, including the written report of the defect to the manufacturer that Kentucky law requires. We deal with the manufacturer for you.

4

You Get Compensated

A successful case usually ends with a refund, a replacement vehicle or a cash settlement. There are no attorney's fees unless we recover for you.

Ky. Rev. Stat. §367.840 to §367.846

Is Your Louisville Car a Lemon? Kentucky's 3-Step Test

1

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

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

2

Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?

In Kentucky 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.

3

Did It Happen Within the Rights Period?

In Kentucky, a claim must be filed within 2 years after the date of original delivery of the vehicle to the buyer. We check that deadline 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 think you are past a deadline, call us anyway. We may still be able to help.

Jefferson County

Court and Venue in Louisville

Louisville is in Jefferson County. Jefferson County's general civil trial court is the Jefferson County Circuit Court, part of the 30th Judicial Circuit. Kentucky 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 Kentucky lemon law is Ky. Rev. Stat. §367.840 to §367.846. If the manufacturer's arbitration program is state-certified, the consumer must use it.

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 a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use. The court may award reasonable attorney fees to a plaintiff who prevails.

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 Kentucky Law

What The Manufacturer Owes You

Kentucky's statute lists a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use. In practice, a qualifying Louisville case usually ends in one of three ways, and the cards below explain each.

$

Refund

You return the car. The price comes back to you, and so do the taxes, the registration fees and the finance charges, after a reasonable use offset is taken off.

Replacement Vehicle

You trade the defective car for a comparable new one, and the manufacturer pays what the swap costs.

$

Cash Settlement

The car stays with you, and the manufacturer pays for the drop in value the defect caused. The statute does not provide for this. It comes out of negotiation.

Frequently Asked Questions

The answers below are based on Kentucky law and on the paperwork Louisville drivers usually send us.

PROCESS & TIMELINE
Most of the Kentucky 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. In Kentucky, a claim must be filed within 2 years after the date of original delivery of the vehicle to the buyer.
Bring the repair orders from your Louisville 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 Louisville drivers settle with the manufacturer before a lawsuit is filed. In Kentucky, you must use the manufacturer's arbitration program if it is state-certified. We prepare that filing for you.
ELIGIBILITY
Ky. Rev. Stat. §367.840 to §367.846 covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Kentucky for personal use. If you bought used, send the paperwork anyway, including any written warranty that came with the car.
ATTORNEY & TRUST
Nothing upfront, and no attorney's fee unless we recover for you. In Kentucky, a consumer who wins may recover attorney's fees from the manufacturer. When a manufacturer settles, we ask it to pay our fee on top of your recovery. 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 Ky. Rev. Stat. §367.840 to §367.846. Then written notice goes to the manufacturer, and we demand the statutory remedy, a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use. Most cases settle at that stage. If a case does not settle, the next step is set by Kentucky law. In Kentucky, you must use the manufacturer's arbitration program if it is state-certified.
