Saginaw Lemon Law

Saginaw Lemon Law Basics

Claims from Saginaw fall under Mich. Comp. Laws §257.1401 to §257.1410, which covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Michigan primarily for personal, family, or household use. If the defect is still there once your repair orders reach one of the repair limits in the box above, you may have a claim. Michigan's lemon law sets no filing deadline of its own; defects must first be reported within the express warranty term or 1 year from delivery, whichever is earlier. Our Michigan Lemon Law Attorneys page has the statute text, the deadlines and the used-car rules.

We File the Claim

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

You Get Compensated

Is Your Saginaw Car a Lemon? Michigan's 3-Step Test

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

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

⚠️2024 Kia EV9: High-voltage battery failure
⚠️2024 Kia EV9: Front motor MCU inverter failure
⚠️2024 Kia EV9: Complete electric power loss
⚠️2024 Kia EV9: Steering column lockup

Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?

In Michigan the test is 4 repair attempts for the same defect or 30 cumulative calendar days out of service, within the period described in step 3. Count the visits on your repair orders to see where you stand.

Did It Happen Within the Rights Period?

The Michigan lemon law does not set its own deadline to sue, but defects must first be reported within the express warranty term or 1 year from delivery, whichever is earlier. 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.

Saginaw County

Court and Venue in Saginaw

Saginaw is in Saginaw County. Saginaw County's general civil trial court is the 10th Circuit Court, which covers Saginaw County. Michigan 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 Michigan lemon law is Mich. Comp. Laws §257.1401 to §257.1410. If the manufacturer's arbitration program is state-certified, the consumer must use it.

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 a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use. The court may award a consumer who prevails costs and reasonable attorney fees.

What the Statute Says

Michigan Lemon Law - New Motor Vehicle Warranties Act: The Rules That Decide a Saginaw Claim

Beyond the repair test and the arbitration rule, which are both in Court and Venue above, Michigan law has some provisions of its own.

Notable provisions of Michigan Lemon Law - New Motor Vehicle Warranties Act

Michigan requires written notice to the manufacturer, and the manufacturer gets a final repair attempt. The law covers vehicles purchased for personal use.

Your Rights Under Michigan Law

What The Manufacturer Owes You

By statute, the Michigan remedy is a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use. When a Saginaw car qualifies under Michigan 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 Michigan law and on the paperwork Saginaw drivers usually send us.

PROCESS & TIMELINE

Bring the repair orders from your Saginaw 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

It may. Under Mich. Comp. Laws §257.1401 to §257.1410, your Saginaw 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 Michigan primarily for personal, family, or household use.

Mich. Comp. Laws §257.1401 to §257.1410 covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Michigan primarily for personal, family, or household use. If you bought used, send the paperwork anyway, including any written warranty that came with the car.

REMEDIES

Under Mich. Comp. Laws §257.1401 to §257.1410, 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

Nothing upfront, and no attorney's fee unless we recover for you. In Michigan, the court may award a consumer who prevails costs and reasonable attorney fees. 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.

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 Mich. Comp. Laws §257.1401 to §257.1410. Then written notice goes to the manufacturer, and we demand the statutory remedy, a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use. Most cases settle at that stage. If a case does not settle, the next step is set by Michigan law. In Michigan, you must use the manufacturer's arbitration program if it is state-certified.

Client Testimonials

What Our Clients Are Saying

Easy Lemon has handled 3,000+ lemon law cases^‡.

“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 cried on the phone. Not my finest moment. But I was so tired of dealing with a car that never worked right. The service manager knew my name, that's how often I was there. Natalie Nassi was so calm and patient with me. She said 'let us handle it so you don't have to keep going back there.' And she did. They got me a buyback. I don't cry about my car anymore.”
