2025 Polestar 3 Lemon Law Questions in Georgia

How does Georgia lemon law apply to a Polestar 3?
The Georgia Lemon Law (Ga. Code §10-1-780 to §10-1-795) uses a standard of 3 repair attempts for the same defect (or 1 for serious safety defects), or 30 cumulative calendar days out of service. Remedies: Replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use offset). Written warranties are also covered nationwide by the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.
What was the settlement amount for this 2025 Polestar 3?
A vehicle buyback totaling $91,539. Part went to our client, part paid off the lender, and the rest covered attorney fees, which the manufacturer paid. Results may vary. Prior outcomes do not guarantee a similar result.
How is a buyback different from cash and keep?
With a buyback, the manufacturer takes the vehicle back, pays off the loan or lease and refunds the owner, minus any use allowance the state allows. With cash and keep, the owner keeps the vehicle and gets a cash payment.
What does it cost to bring a Polestar lemon law claim with Easy Lemon?
There is no upfront fee. Lemon law fee-shifting statutes generally make the manufacturer pay the attorney fees. Our client in this case paid nothing out of pocket†.
