How your North Dakota claim gets built

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

Minot Lemon Law

Minot Lemon Law Basics

In Minot, as anywhere else in North Dakota, a lemon law claim is brought under N.D. Cent. Code §51-07-16 to §51-07-22. The statute covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in North Dakota 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 North Dakota Lemon Law Attorneys page goes through the statute text, the filing deadlines and used cars in more detail.

We File the Claim

We write and send the paperwork, including any written notice to the manufacturer that ND law requires. We deal with the manufacturer for you.

Is Your Minot Car a Lemon? North Dakota's 3-Step Test

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

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

Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?

In North Dakota the test is 4 or more repair attempts for the same defect, or 30 cumulative business 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 North Dakota the deadline is 6 months after the earlier of the express warranty term expiring or 18 months from 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.

Ward County

Court and Venue in Minot

Minot is in Ward County. Ward County's general civil trial court is the District Court, Ward County (North Central 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 North Dakota lemon law is N.D. Cent. Code §51-07-16 to §51-07-22. The refund or replacement remedy is not available until the consumer has first used the manufacturer's qualifying informal dispute program.

The repair test in the statute is 4 or more repair attempts for the same defect, or 30 cumulative business days with the vehicle out of service. The statutory remedy is a replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use offset). The North Dakota 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.

Your Rights Under ND Law

What The Manufacturer Owes You

The North Dakota statute provides for replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use offset), and a qualifying ND case from Minot usually ends in one of these three ways.

Refund

You hand back the car. In return the manufacturer repays the price, the taxes, the registration fees and the finance charges, with a reasonable use offset taken out.

Replacement Vehicle

You leave with a comparable new car. The manufacturer pays for the swap.

Cash Settlement

You keep the car, and the manufacturer pays you for the value the defect took off it. This result is not listed in the statute and comes from negotiation.

Have Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

The answers below are based on North Dakota law and on the paperwork Minot drivers usually send us.

PROCESS & TIMELINE

Most of the North Dakota 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 North Dakota filing deadline is within 6 months after the earlier of the express warranty term expiring or 18 months from original delivery.

ELIGIBILITY

It may. Under N.D. Cent. Code §51-07-16 to §51-07-22, your Minot car can qualify if a defect covered by the warranty is still there after 4 or more repair attempts for the same defect, or 30 cumulative business days out of service. The statute covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in North Dakota for personal, family, or household use.

N.D. Cent. Code §51-07-16 to §51-07-22 covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in North Dakota 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. North Dakota’s presumption requires more than three repair attempts — that is, four or more — or 30 business days out of service.

REMEDIES

N.D. Cent. Code §51-07-16 to §51-07-22 provides for replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use offset). Which one you get depends on your repair history and on what the manufacturer offers.

ATTORNEY & TRUST

Nothing upfront, and no attorney's fee unless we recover for you. The North Dakota lemon law has no attorney-fee provision of its own. In most successful North Dakota 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.

“Easy Lemon made filling a claim super easy! Communication was excellent. When I needed to communicate additional information, or ask questions, they were quick to respond. Very professional. After the first offer was made, they were able to negotiate a better offer! I highly recommend to use them!”

“I honestly didn't think I had a case. My Subaru's engine consumed a quart of oil every 1,000 miles. Dealer said it was 'within spec.' Did that three times. I just figured I'd live with it.
My brother-in-law, a mechanic, said 'that's not normal for a modern engine. Call someone.' So I did. I spoke to Steven Nassi at Easy Lemon.
He explained that excessive oil consumption is a known defect in certain Subaru engines. He'd handled similar cases. He said, 'They tell you it's normal because they don't want to replace the short block.' He already knew the internal service bulletins.
His team filed the claim. Subaru settled with a cash payment that covered my oil expenses and then some. I was genuinely surprised it worked.
Why different? Steven saw a pattern I didn't know existed. They don't just take cases; they know manufacturer secrets.”
