Do You Qualify?
Four questions will help you find out in about a minute.
You Likely Qualify!
Your answers meet the basic lemon law test. Before anyone can confirm that your car qualifies, an attorney has to see the repair orders. We work on a contingency basis, and there are no attorney’s fees unless we recover for you.
You May Not Qualify Under Standard Lemon Law
The standard lemon law test does not seem to fit. Other consumer protection laws may still help with a car like yours. Contact us anyway.

Scranton Lemon Law Basics
The law that applies in Scranton is Pennsylvania's lemon law, 73 Pa. Stat. §1951 to §1960, and it covers new motor vehicles purchased, leased, or registered in Pennsylvania for personal, family, or household purposes. You may have a claim if your repair orders reach one of the repair limits in the box above while the defect is still there and you are inside the deadline. The statute text, the filing deadlines and the rules on used cars are on our Pennsylvania Lemon Law Attorneys page.

Is Your Scranton Car a Lemon? Pennsylvania's 3-Step Test
Does the Defect Substantially Impair Use, Value, or Safety?
Under Pennsylvania law, the defect has to substantially impair the vehicle's use, value, or safety.
Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?
In Pennsylvania the test is 3 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 Pennsylvania, the deadline under the statute is the first 12 months, 12,000 miles, or the express warranty period, whichever comes first. 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.
Court and Venue in Scranton
Scranton is in Lackawanna County. Lackawanna County's general civil trial court is the Court of Common Pleas of Lackawanna County, part of the Forty-Fifth Judicial District. Which court hears a particular case still depends on its facts, the warranty issues involved and the law it is brought under.
The Pennsylvania lemon law is 73 Pa. Stat. §1951 to §1960. If the manufacturer has a dispute program that follows federal FTC rules, the consumer must use it first, but its decision does not bind the consumer.
The repair test in the statute is 3 repair attempts for the same defect, or 30 cumulative calendar days with the vehicle out of service. The statutory remedy is a replacement vehicle, a full refund, or a cash settlement. Under the statute, a consumer who prevails can recover reasonable attorney fees from the manufacturer.
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 Manufacturer Owes You
Pennsylvania law provides for a replacement vehicle, a full refund, or a cash settlement. There are three ways a qualifying case from Scranton usually ends.
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.

What Our Clients Are Saying
Easy Lemon has handled 3,000+ lemon law cases‡.
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.”
