Common Questions

2026 Ford F-350 Lemon Law Questions in Arkansas

What are the Arkansas lemon law standards for a Ford F-350?
In Arkansas, the test is 3 repair attempts for the same defect (or 1 for life-threatening defects), or 30 cumulative calendar days out of service (the Arkansas New Motor Vehicle Quality Assurance Act, Ark. Code §4-90-401 to §4-90-417). Remedies: Replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use allowance). The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act also applies to written warranties in every state.
How much did this Arkansas Ford F-350 case recover?
$19,000, paid as a cash-and-keep settlement. That figure includes our client's payment and the attorney fees. Results may vary. Prior outcomes do not guarantee a similar result.
Buyback or cash and keep: what is the difference?
A cash-and-keep settlement leaves the vehicle with the owner and pays cash. A buyback returns the vehicle to the manufacturer, which pays off the loan or lease and refunds the owner, less any use allowance permitted by state law.
Is there a fee to hire Easy Lemon for a Ford F-350 claim?
Nothing upfront. Fee-shifting statutes in lemon law cases generally put attorney fees on the manufacturer. In this case the attorney fees were paid out of the $19,000 settlement.
