Common Questions

2023 Land Rover Defender Lemon Law Questions in Florida

What was wrong with this 2023 Land Rover Defender?
The primary reported defect was a recurring infotainment screen failure: the screen went blank or black again and again, and a software update and a replacement screen did not fix it.
Does the Florida Lemon Law cover a new Land Rover purchased in Florida?
Yes. Florida's Lemon Law (the Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act, Chapter 681) applies to most new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Florida. If a substantial defect that impairs the vehicle's use, value, or safety cannot be repaired after a reasonable number of attempts within the Lemon Law Rights Period, the consumer may be entitled to a replacement or a refund/buyback.
How many repair attempts or days out of service qualify under Florida law?
Under Florida law, a reasonable number of attempts is generally presumed when the same substantial defect has been subject to repair three or more times, or when the vehicle is out of service for repair of one or more defects for a cumulative total of 30 or more days within the Lemon Law Rights Period: after the manufacturer has been given a final opportunity to repair.
How does Easy Lemon handle Land Rover lemon law claims in Florida?
Easy Lemon handles the Florida lemon law process and negotiates directly with the manufacturer. In this case the manufacturer did not pay attorney fees, so the $2,000 attorney fee came out of the settlement.
