Roanoke Lemon Law

Roanoke Lemon Law Basics

In Roanoke, as anywhere else in Virginia, a lemon law claim is brought under Va. Code §59.1-207.9 to §59.1-207.16. The statute covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Virginia 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 Virginia Lemon Law Attorneys page goes through the statute text, the filing deadlines and used cars in more detail.

We File the Claim

We write and send the paperwork, including any written notice to the manufacturer that VA law requires. We deal with the manufacturer for you.

You Get Compensated

The case ends with a refund, a replacement vehicle or a cash settlement. There are no attorney's fees unless we recover for you.

Va. Code §59.1-207.9 to §59.1-207.16

Is Your Roanoke Car a Lemon? Virginia's 3-Step Test

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

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

Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?

In Virginia the test is 3 repair attempts for the same defect (or 1 for serious safety defects), or 30 cumulative calendar days out of service, as long as the claim is brought within the deadline in step 3. For a defect that could cause serious bodily injury or death, 1 repair attempt is enough. Count the visits on your repair orders to see where you stand.

Did It Happen Within the Rights Period?

In Virginia the deadline is 18 months from the date of 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.

Independent city

Court and Venue in Roanoke

Roanoke is an independent city; the Census lists it as Roanoke city, outside any county. Its general civil trial court is the Roanoke City Circuit Court, part of the 23rd Judicial Circuit of Virginia. Virginia 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 Virginia lemon law is Va. Code §59.1-207.9 to §59.1-207.16. The consumer must use a state-certified arbitration program before litigation.

The repair test in the statute is 3 repair attempts for the same defect (or 1 for serious safety defects), 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 reasonable 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.

What the Statute Says

Virginia Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act (Virginia Lemon Law): The Rules That Decide a Roanoke Claim

Virginia law sets a repair test, an arbitration rule and a deadline, and Court and Venue above already explains those three. Here are a few of its other rules.

Notable provisions of Virginia Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act (Virginia Lemon Law)

Virginia is consumer-friendly with only 3 repair attempts required. One attempt is sufficient for defects creating serious risk of death or injury. Covers 18 months from delivery. Written notice to manufacturer required.

Your Rights Under VA Law

What The Manufacturer Owes You

Under the statute, the remedies open to Virginia drivers are replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use offset). If your Roanoke car qualifies under VA law, the case usually ends in one of the three ways below.

Refund

You return the car and the manufacturer pays back the price, taxes, registration fees and finance charges, minus a reasonable use offset.

Replacement Vehicle

The manufacturer replaces the car with a comparable new one at its own cost.

Cash Settlement

You keep the car and receive a payment for its lost value. That payment is negotiated. The statute does not list it.

Have Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

The answers below are based on Virginia law and on the paperwork Roanoke drivers usually send us.

ELIGIBILITY

It may. Under Va. Code §59.1-207.9 to §59.1-207.16, your Roanoke car can qualify if a defect covered by the warranty is still there after 3 repair attempts for the same defect (or 1 for serious safety defects), or 30 cumulative calendar days out of service. The statute covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Virginia for personal, family, or household use.

PROCESS & TIMELINE

Usually not. Most lemon law cases we handle for Roanoke drivers settle with the manufacturer before a lawsuit is filed. On arbitration, the Virginia rule is: must use state-certified arbitration program before litigation. We prepare that filing for you.

REMEDIES

In Virginia, 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.

ATTORNEY & TRUST

No. Our offices are in Manhasset NY, Newark NJ, Miami FL and Dallas TX. We handle Virginia 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 Va. Code §59.1-207.9 to §59.1-207.16 requires you to appear anywhere to open a claim. On arbitration, the Virginia rule is: must use state-certified arbitration program before litigation.

Nothing upfront, and no attorney's fee unless we recover for you. In Virginia, the manufacturer pays the consumer's attorney's fees when the consumer wins. In most successful Virginia 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 Va. Code §59.1-207.9 to §59.1-207.16. 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 Virginia law requires.

Client Testimonials

What Our Clients Are Saying

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

“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.”

“My Jeep Wrangler's manual transmission would pop out of reverse. Dealer kept it twice, said they couldn't replicate. Third time they replaced the shifter. Still popped out. I was backing out of my driveway and it nearly rolled into the street. Called Easy Lemon and Natalie Nassi said that's a major safety defect. She took my case and Jeep bought it back. Now I drive something that stays in gear.”
