How your Idaho claim gets built

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

Pocatello Lemon Law

Pocatello Lemon Law Basics

In Pocatello, as anywhere else in Idaho, a lemon law claim is brought under Idaho Code §48-901 to §48-913. The statute covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Idaho 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 Idaho Lemon Law Attorneys page goes through the statute text, the filing deadlines and used cars in more detail.

Step by Step

How a Pocatello Lemon Law Claim Works

This is what happens after you call us from Pocatello.

1

Document Your Repairs

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

2

Free Case Evaluation

We read your repair history against the Idaho 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 notice to the manufacturer that Idaho law requires before you pursue a claim. 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.

Idaho Code §48-901 to §48-913

Is Your Pocatello Car a Lemon? Idaho's 3-Step Test

1

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

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

2

Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?

In Idaho 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.

3

Did It Happen Within the Rights Period?

In Idaho, a claim must be filed within 3 years from original delivery, or within 3 months after the decision if you used the manufacturer's dispute program within those 3 years. 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.

Bannock County & Power County

Court and Venue in Pocatello

Parts of Pocatello lie in Bannock County and Power County, per the 2020 Census. Their general civil trial courts are the District Court of the Sixth Judicial District, Bannock County and the District Court of the Sixth Judicial District, Power County. Which court hears a particular case still depends on its facts, the warranty issues involved and the law it is brought under.

The Idaho lemon law is Idaho Code §48-901 to §48-913. Arbitration is available in Idaho but not mandatory.

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. A consumer who prevails may recover attorney fees.

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 Idaho Law

What The Manufacturer Owes You

What the manufacturer owes under Idaho's statute is a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use. Most qualifying cases from Pocatello end in one of the three results below.

$

Refund

The manufacturer takes the car back and pays you the purchase price, taxes, registration fees and finance charges, and it can subtract a reasonable use offset.

Replacement Vehicle

You get a comparable new car in place of the one with the defect, with the manufacturer covering the cost.

$

Cash Settlement

You keep driving the car and the manufacturer pays you for the lost value. This is a negotiated result, since the statute does not list it.

Frequently Asked Questions

The answers below are based on Idaho law and on the paperwork Pocatello drivers usually send us.

PROCESS & TIMELINE
Most of the Idaho 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 Idaho, a claim must be filed within 3 years from original delivery, or within 3 months after the decision if you used the manufacturer's dispute program within those 3 years.
Usually not. Most lemon law cases we handle for Pocatello drivers settle with the manufacturer before a lawsuit is filed. In Idaho, arbitration is available but not mandatory.
ELIGIBILITY
It may. Under Idaho Code §48-901 to §48-913, your Pocatello car can qualify if a defect covered by the warranty is still there after 4 repair attempts for the same defect, or 30 cumulative business days out of service. The statute covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Idaho for personal, family, or household use.
REMEDIES
Under Idaho Code §48-901 to §48-913, the remedy is a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use. Which one you get depends on your repair history and on what the manufacturer offers.
ATTORNEY & TRUST
No. Our offices are in Manhasset NY, Newark NJ, Miami FL and Dallas TX. We handle Idaho 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 Idaho Code §48-901 to §48-913 requires you to appear anywhere to open a claim.
Nothing upfront, and no attorney's fee unless we recover for you. In Idaho, 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.

“My Dodge Challenger's fuel gauge would read empty when the tank was full. Dealer replaced the sending unit, then the whole fuel pump assembly. Same problem. I ran out of gas twice because I thought I had fuel. Stupid design. Called Easy Lemon and they said a safety feature like fuel gauge failing is a big deal. They fought Dodge and got me a buyback. New car doesn't lie to me about how much gas I have.”

“My Honda Pilot's backup camera would go black right when I needed it. Dealer replaced it once. Broke again. Replaced it again. Third time they said 'they're working on it.' I have kids, I need that camera. Called Easy Lemon and Natalie Nassi said a safety feature failing repeatedly counts. She filed the claim and Honda settled with cash. Got it fixed at an independent shop and pocketed the rest. Camera's been fine since.”

“My Dodge Challenger's AC would blow hot air on the driver side but cold on passenger. Dealer recharged it twice, replaced a blend door actuator once. Problem came back every time. I was sweating through my shirt in August. Called Easy Lemon and Aaron Waldo said a climate control issue that makes driving uncomfortable counts. His team fought Dodge and got me a cash settlement. Got it fixed at a local shop and the AC has been cold ever since.”
