Do You Qualify?
It takes about a minute. Four questions, and you find out if the lemon law may apply.
You Likely Qualify!
Your answers line up with the basic lemon law test. The next step is for an attorney to confirm that from your repair orders. Because we work on a contingency basis, there are no attorney’s fees unless we recover for you.
You May Not Qualify Under Standard Lemon Law
Your answers fall outside the usual lemon law test. That does not rule out other consumer protection laws. Contact us anyway.

Admitted in Kansas
Nicole Forsythe handles Kansas lemon law claims as Of Counsel. She is admitted in Kansas and in Missouri, took her J.D. at the University of Missouri–Kansas City School of Law, and holds an LL.M. in Taxation. Kansas is unusual. Under Kan. Stat. §50-645 you can qualify on four repair attempts for one defect, or on ten repairs for any combination of them, and thirty cumulative days out of service counts too. The clock runs to the end of the warranty or one year from delivery, whichever lands first.

Manhattan Lemon Law Basics
A Manhattan car is judged against Kansas's statute, Kan. Stat. §50-645 to §50-646, and that law covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Kansas for personal, family, or household use. So the first question is coverage, and the second is whether your repair orders reach one of the repair limits in the box above. If they do and the defect is still there, you may have a claim. Kansas's lemon law sets no filing deadline of its own; defects must be reported within the warranty term or 1 year from original delivery, whichever is earlier. The statute text, the filing deadlines and how used cars are treated are all on our Kansas Lemon Law Attorneys page.

Is Your Manhattan Car a Lemon? Kansas's 3-Step Test
Does the Defect Substantially Impair Use, Value, or Safety?
Under Kansas law, the defect has to substantially impair the vehicle's use, value, or safety.
Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?
In Kansas the test is 4 repair attempts for the same defect, 10 total repairs for any combination of defects, or 30 cumulative calendar days out of service, within the period described in step 3. Count the visits on your repair orders to see where you stand.
Did It Happen Within the Rights Period?
The Kansas lemon law does not set its own deadline to sue, but defects must be reported within the warranty term or 1 year from original delivery, whichever is earlier. 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.
Court and Venue in Manhattan
Parts of Manhattan lie in Pottawatomie County and Riley County, per the 2020 Census. Their general civil trial courts are the Pottawatomie County District Court (2nd Judicial District) and the Riley County District Court (21st Judicial District). Which court hears a particular case still depends on its facts, the warranty issues involved and the law it is brought under.
The Kansas lemon law is Kan. Stat. §50-645 to §50-646. If the manufacturer's arbitration program is certified and available, the consumer must use it.
The repair test in the statute is 4 repair attempts for the same defect (or 10 total for any combination of defects), 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 Kansas lemon law has no attorney-fee provision of its own.
Open recalls on your vehicle can be checked against NHTSA records at easylemon.com/recalls. A recall alone is not a lemon law claim.
