How your Illinois claim gets built

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

Is Your Orland Park Car a Lemon? Illinois's 3-Step Test

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

Under Illinois law, the defect has to substantially impair the vehicle's use, value, or safety. These defects came up in Easy Lemon's own Illinois cases:

⚠️2023 Alfa Romeo Stelvio: Vehicle pulling / not tracking straight
⚠️2025 Kia Telluride: Pulsing vibration in the accelerator above 45 mph
⚠️2023 Alfa Romeo Stelvio: Key fob remote start and trunk unresponsive
⚠️2025 Kia Telluride: Vibration worsens when turning

Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?

In Illinois the test is 4 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 Illinois, a claim must be filed within 18 months from the date of original delivery. 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.

Cook County & Will County

Court and Venue in Orland Park

Parts of Orland Park lie in Cook County and Will County, per the 2020 Census. Their general civil trial courts are the Circuit Court of Cook County and the Circuit Court of the Twelfth Judicial Circuit, Will County. Which court hears a particular case still depends on its facts, the warranty issues involved and the law it is brought under.

The Illinois lemon law is 815 ILCS 380/1 to 380/7. The statute's presumption that a car is a lemon does not apply unless the manufacturer received prior direct written notification and a chance to correct the defect (815 ILCS 380/3(h)); the statute names no delivery method. If the manufacturer's dispute program follows federal FTC rules and the consumer was told about it in writing, the consumer must use it first.

The repair test in the statute is 4 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 a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use. The Illinois lemon law (815 ILCS 380) has no attorney-fee provision of its own.

Your Rights Under Illinois Law

What The Manufacturer Owes You

By statute, the Illinois remedy is a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use. When an Orland Park car qualifies under Illinois law, the case usually ends in one of three ways.

Refund

The manufacturer buys the car back. It repays the price along with the taxes, registration fees and finance charges, but it may deduct a reasonable use offset.

Replacement Vehicle

Instead of money you get a comparable new car, and the swap costs you nothing.

Cash Settlement

The statute does not set this one. It comes from negotiation: you keep the car, and the manufacturer pays for the value the defect took off it.

Have Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

The answers below are based on Illinois law and on the paperwork Orland Park drivers usually send us.

PROCESS & TIMELINE

Most of the Illinois 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 Illinois, a claim must be filed within 18 months from the date of original delivery.

Bring the repair orders from your Orland Park 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.

ELIGIBILITY

815 ILCS 380/1 to 380/7 covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Illinois 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 warranty defects that substantially impair 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.

ATTORNEY & TRUST

No. Our offices are in Manhasset NY, Newark NJ, Miami FL and Dallas TX. We handle Illinois 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 815 ILCS 380/1 to 380/7 requires you to appear anywhere to open a claim.

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 815 ILCS 380/1 to 380/7. 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 Illinois law. In Illinois, you must first use the manufacturer's dispute program if it follows federal FTC rules and you were told about it in writing.

“I had a good experience with Easy lemon. I had bought a used truck that had transmission issues before I even got it home. After a year of the dealership giving me the runaround, I reached out to Easy Lemon. It was a drawn out process dealing with the vehicle manufacturer. We got it done and I am happy with the results. Thanks to Vanessa, Antonio, Fabio, and the rest of the team that made this possible.”
