How your Alabama claim gets built

Our lemon law work is directed by Steven P. Nassi, Esq., Managing Partner, Easy Lemon by RockPoint Law P.C. An Alabama claim gets built on two things: the Alabama 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 Phenix City Car a Lemon? Alabama's 3-Step Test

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

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

Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?

In Alabama the test is 3 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.

Did It Happen Within the Rights Period?

In Alabama the deadline is 3 years 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.

Lee County & Russell County

Court and Venue in Phenix City

Parts of Phenix City lie in Lee County and Russell County, per the 2020 Census. Their general civil trial courts are the circuit court of Alabama's Thirty-Seventh Judicial Circuit for Lee County and the circuit court of Alabama's Twenty-Sixth Judicial Circuit for Russell County. Alabama 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 Alabama lemon law is Ala. Code §8-20A-1 to §8-20A-6. If the manufacturer has a dispute program that follows federal rules, the consumer must use it first.

The repair test in the statute is 3 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 full refund (minus reasonable use allowance). Under the statute, a consumer who prevails can recover attorney fees from the manufacturer.

Open recalls on your vehicle can be checked against NHTSA records at easylemon.com/recalls. A recall alone is not a lemon law claim.

Alabama Lemon Law: The Rules That Decide a Phenix City Claim

Notable provisions of Alabama Lemon Law

Your Rights Under AL Law

What The Manufacturer Owes You

By statute, the Alabama remedy is replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use allowance). When a Phenix City car qualifies under AL 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 Alabama law and on the paperwork Phenix City drivers usually send us.

PROCESS & TIMELINE

Most of the Alabama 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 Alabama filing deadline is within 3 years from original delivery.

Usually not. Most lemon law cases we handle for Phenix City drivers settle with the manufacturer before a lawsuit is filed. On arbitration, the Alabama rule is: if the manufacturer has a dispute program that follows federal rules, you must use it first. We prepare that filing for you.

ELIGIBILITY

Ala. Code §8-20A-1 to §8-20A-6 covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Alabama, used primarily for personal, family, or household purposes. 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. Repair attempts count over the first 24 months or 24,000 miles from original delivery (whichever comes first), and at least one of them must fall within the first year or 12,000 miles.

ATTORNEY & TRUST

No. Our offices are in Manhasset NY, Newark NJ, Miami FL and Dallas TX. We handle Alabama 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 Ala. Code §8-20A-1 to §8-20A-6 requires you to appear anywhere to open a claim. On arbitration, the Alabama rule is: if the manufacturer has a dispute program that follows federal rules, you must use it first.

Nothing upfront, and no attorney's fee unless we recover for you. In Alabama, the manufacturer pays the consumer's attorney's fees when the consumer wins. In most successful Alabama 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.

Client Testimonials

What Our Clients Are Saying

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

“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.”

“My Tesla Model Y had three things wrong that the service center couldn't fix: 1) Phantom braking on highway. 2) Passenger door handle wouldn't present half the time. 3) Rattling from the rear seat area they blamed on 'road noise.' I had service invoices showing four attempts on the brakes, two on the handle, and three on the rattle. Called Easy Lemon. Aaron Waldo took it. He didn't treat them as three small problems. He argued they collectively impaired the vehicle's safety and value. Manufacturer settled with a cash payout plus extended warranty on the remaining issues. They bundle your headaches into one real case."”

“I'm not a lawyer, but I tried. I filed complaints with the BBB. I called the manufacturer's customer service line so many times they knew my voice. I even wrote a letter to the dealership owner. Nothing.
My Honda Pilot's fuel system kept throwing check engine codes for the evaporative emissions system. Four visits, four 'fixes,' four returns of the light.
A friend said 'just call a lemon law firm already.' I called Easy Lemon and spoke to Natalie Nassi. First thing she said: 'You've done the hard work already. Now let us do ours.'
She was right. She took my mountain of paperwork—my letters, my complaint case numbers, my repair orders—and organized it into a real claim. The manufacturer settled in two months.
Why them? Natalie valued the effort I'd already put in. She didn't start from zero; she built on my frustration. That respect made all the difference.”
