Is Your Port St. Lucie Car a Lemon? Florida's 3-Step Test

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

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

⚠️2020 Kia Niro: Recurring Refill Inverter Coolant dash warning
⚠️2024 Rivian R1S: Airbag warning system randomly toggling on/off
⚠️2023 Jeep Wagoneer: Catastrophic engine failure
⚠️2024 GMC Hummer EV: Recurring rear hatch / power liftgate failure to open and latch

Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?

In Florida the test is 3 repair attempts for the same defect, plus a final repair attempt after written notice, or 30 cumulative calendar days (60 days for recreational vehicles) 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 Florida the deadline is 60 days after the end of the 24-month Lemon Law rights period. 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.

St. Lucie County

Court and Venue in Port St. Lucie

Port St. Lucie is in St. Lucie County. St. Lucie County's general civil trial court is the Circuit Court of the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit. Florida 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 Florida lemon law is Fla. Stat. §681.10 to §681.118. Written notice to the manufacturer goes by registered or express mail, not certified mail (Fla. Stat. §681.104(1)(a)), and the manufacturer then gets a final repair attempt. The claim must first go through the Florida New Motor Vehicle Arbitration Board.

The repair test in the statute is 3 repair attempts for the same defect, plus a final repair attempt after written notice, or 30 cumulative calendar days (60 days for recreational vehicles) with the vehicle out of service. The statutory remedy is a replacement vehicle or a refund of the purchase price (minus a reasonable offset for use). Under the statute, a consumer who prevails can recover attorney fees from the manufacturer.

What the Statute Says

Florida Lemon Law - Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act: The Rules That Decide a Port St. Lucie Claim

Some Florida rules sit outside the repair test, the arbitration rule and the deadline, which you can find under Court and Venue above. Those other rules are here.

Notable provisions of Florida Lemon Law - Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act

Florida uses a state-run arbitration board (not manufacturer-run). After 15 cumulative days out of service the consumer must notify the manufacturer in writing; the 30-day figure is what raises the presumption of a reasonable number of repair attempts. Covers vehicles within the Lemon Law rights period (24 months from delivery).

Your Rights Under FL Law

What The Manufacturer Owes You

Florida law provides for replacement vehicle or a refund of the purchase price (minus a reasonable offset for use). There are three ways a qualifying case from Port St. Lucie usually ends under FL law.

Refund

Give the car back and the manufacturer repays the price you paid, with the taxes, registration fees and finance charges. A reasonable use offset comes off that amount.

Replacement Vehicle

The manufacturer hands you a comparable new car and pays the cost of the exchange.

Cash Settlement

The car stays yours and the manufacturer pays for the value the defect took off it. You will not find this option in the statute. It is reached by negotiation.

Have Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

The answers below are based on Florida law and on the paperwork Port St. Lucie drivers usually send us.

PROCESS & TIMELINE

Most of the Florida 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 Florida filing deadline is within 60 days after the end of the 24-month Lemon Law rights period.

Bring the repair orders from your Port St. Lucie 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

Fla. Stat. §681.10 to §681.118 covers new or demonstrator motor vehicles purchased or leased in Florida, primarily 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. Florida uses a state-run arbitration board (not manufacturer-run).

REMEDIES

Fla. Stat. §681.10 to §681.118 provides for replacement vehicle or a refund of the purchase price (minus a reasonable offset for use). Which one you get depends on your repair history and on what the manufacturer offers.

In Florida, the manufacturer pays the consumer's attorney's fees when the consumer wins. We work on contingency, so you pay nothing upfront and there is no attorney's fee unless we recover for you. When a manufacturer settles or loses, we ask it to pay our fee on top of your recovery. The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. §2310(d)) adds a second fee-shifting route when a written warranty is breached. Our fee agreement is one page.

“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.”
