How your Rhode Island claim gets built

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

Providence Lemon Law

Providence Lemon Law Basics

In Providence, as anywhere else in Rhode Island, a lemon law claim is brought under R.I. Gen. Laws §31-5.2-1 to §31-5.2-14. The statute covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Rhode Island 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 Rhode Island Lemon Law Attorneys page goes through the statute text, the filing deadlines and used cars in more detail.

Is Your Providence Car a Lemon? Rhode Island's 3-Step Test

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

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

Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?

In Rhode Island the test is 4 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 Rhode Island the deadline is 3 years of original delivery or 2 years of the date the odometer reached 15,000 miles, whichever is earlier. 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.

Providence County

Court and Venue in Providence

Providence is in Providence County. Its civil trial court is the Rhode Island Superior Court. Rhode Island 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 Rhode Island lemon law is R.I. Gen. Laws §31-5.2-1 to §31-5.2-14. The consumer must first use the manufacturer's qualifying procedure or the state motor vehicle arbitration board.

The repair test in the statute is 4 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 offset). A consumer who prevails is entitled to attorney fees.

What the Statute Says

Rhode Island Lemon Law: The Rules That Decide a Providence Claim

We covered the repair test, the arbitration rule and the deadline in the Court and Venue section above. Below are other Rhode Island rules that can matter to a Providence claim.

Notable provisions of Rhode Island Lemon Law

Rhode Island’s term of protection is 1 year or 15,000 miles from delivery, whichever comes first, and the presumption is 4 repair attempts or 30 cumulative calendar days out of service. A consumer who uses an informal dispute procedure is never precluded from later seeking the chapter’s remedies in court.

Your Rights Under RI Law

What The Manufacturer Owes You

Under Rhode Island law the remedy is replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use offset). A qualifying RI case from Providence usually closes in one of these three ways.

Refund

The car goes back to the manufacturer, which returns what you paid, with the taxes, registration fees and finance charges, less a reasonable use offset.

Replacement Vehicle

The manufacturer swaps your car for a comparable new one and pays for the exchange.

Cash Settlement

You hold on to the car and are paid for the value the defect cost you. This one is not in the statute. It is negotiated.

Have Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

The answers below are based on Rhode Island law and on the paperwork Providence drivers usually send us.

PROCESS & TIMELINE

Most of the Rhode Island 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 Rhode Island filing deadline is within 3 years of original delivery or 2 years of the date the odometer reached 15,000 miles, whichever is earlier.

Usually not. Most lemon law cases we handle for Providence drivers settle with the manufacturer before a lawsuit is filed. On arbitration, the Rhode Island rule is: must first resort to the manufacturer’s qualifying procedure or the state motor vehicle arbitration board. We prepare that filing for you.

ELIGIBILITY

It may. Under R.I. Gen. Laws §31-5.2-1 to §31-5.2-14, your Providence car can qualify if a defect covered by the warranty is still there after 4 repair attempts for the same defect, or 30 cumulative calendar days out of service. The statute covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Rhode Island for personal, family, or household use.

R.I. Gen. Laws §31-5.2-1 to §31-5.2-14 covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Rhode Island for personal, family, or household use. If you bought used, send the paperwork anyway, including any written warranty that came with the car.

ATTORNEY & TRUST

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

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 R.I. Gen. Laws §31-5.2-1 to §31-5.2-14. Then written notice goes to the manufacturer, and we demand the statutory remedy, replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use offset). Most cases settle at that stage. If a case does not settle, we take the next formal step that Rhode Island law requires.

Client Testimonials

What Our Clients Are Saying

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

“My Ram 2500's check engine light came on for the same evap code four times in six months. Dealer kept replacing gas caps, sensors, the whole runaround. Light would stay off for a week then pop back on. I was so tired of seeing that orange glow on my dash every morning. Called Easy Lemon and they took my service records and ran with it. Four months later, Ram sent a settlement check. No more anxiety every time I start the truck.”

“I had an excellent experience with Easylemon! They went above and beyond to help me return my car and successfully recover my money. The whole process could have been stressful, but their team handled everything professionally, efficiently, and with great attention to detail.

I truly appreciate their support, transparency, and dedication throughout the entire process. They kept me informed and made sure my rights were protected every step of the way.

If you’re ever in a similar situation, I highly recommend Easylemon. They really know what they’re doing and genuinely care about their clients.

Thank you again for your outstanding help!”
