How your Arizona claim gets built

Our lemon law work is directed by Steven P. Nassi, Esq., Managing Partner, Easy Lemon by RockPoint Law P.C. An Arizona claim gets built on two things: the Arizona lemon law statute, and the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, which applies in all fifty states. Send the repair orders and the purchase or lease paperwork, and we can tell you which of the two fits your vehicle.

Tempe Lemon Law

Tempe Lemon Law Basics

Claims from Tempe fall under Ariz. Rev. Stat. §44-1261 to §44-1267, which covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Arizona for personal, family, or household purposes. If the defect is still there once your repair orders reach one of the repair limits in the box above, and you are within the deadline, you may have a claim. Our Arizona Lemon Law Attorneys page has the statute text, the deadlines and the used-car rules.

Step by Step

How a Tempe Lemon Law Claim Works

This is what happens after you call us from Tempe.

1

Document Your Repairs

Keep every repair order from your Tempe dealership, even the short ones. AZ lemon law needs written proof of each repair attempt, and those papers are the proof.

2

Free Case Evaluation

We read your repair history against the Arizona statute and tell you whether the car qualifies. The review costs nothing, and there are no attorney's fees unless we recover for you.

3

We File the Claim

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

4

You Get Compensated

The case ends with a refund, a replacement vehicle or a cash settlement. There are no attorney's fees unless we recover for you.

Ariz. Rev. Stat. §44-1261 to §44-1267

Is Your Tempe Car a Lemon? Arizona's 3-Step Test

1

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

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

  • ⚠️2022 Ram 2500: CarPlay connectivity issues
  • ⚠️2023 Ford F-150 Lightning (Electric Pickup): Recurring reverse-engagement failure on the steering-column shift stalk
  • ⚠️2023 Ford F-150 Lightning (Electric Pickup): Center SYNC infotainment screen freezing/blanking for long periods during driving
  • ⚠️2023 Ford F-150 Lightning (Electric Pickup): Truck stuck in drive after sitting overnight or after a short stop
2

Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?

In Arizona the test is 4 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.

3

Did It Happen Within the Rights Period?

In Arizona the deadline is 6 months following the earlier of the express warranty term expiring or 2 years/24,000 miles from original delivery. We check it 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 are past the deadline, call us anyway. We may still be able to help.

Maricopa County

Court and Venue in Tempe

Tempe is in Maricopa County. Maricopa County's general civil trial court is the Superior Court in Maricopa County. Arizona 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 Arizona lemon law is Ariz. Rev. Stat. §44-1261 to §44-1267. The Arizona presumption applies only after the manufacturer itself gets prior direct written notice (A.R.S. §44-1264(C)); the statute names no delivery method. If the manufacturer has a dispute program that follows federal FTC rules, the consumer must use it first.

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 full refund (minus reasonable use allowance). Under the statute, a consumer who prevails can recover attorney fees from the manufacturer.

Your Rights Under AZ Law

What The Manufacturer Owes You

Under Arizona law the remedy is replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use allowance). A qualifying AZ case from Tempe usually closes in one of these three ways.

$

Refund

The car goes back to the manufacturer, which returns what you paid, with the taxes, registration fees and finance charges, less a reasonable use offset.

Replacement Vehicle

The manufacturer swaps your car for a comparable new one and pays for the exchange.

$

Cash Settlement

You hold on to the car and are paid for the value the defect cost you. This one is not in the statute. It is negotiated.

Frequently Asked Questions

The answers below are based on Arizona law and on the paperwork Tempe drivers usually send us.

PROCESS & TIMELINE
Most of the Arizona cases we handle settle at the written-demand stage, without a lawsuit. How long that takes depends on your repair history and on the manufacturer. The Arizona filing deadline is within 6 months following the earlier of the express warranty term expiring or 2 years/24,000 miles from original delivery.
Bring the repair orders from your Tempe 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 Ariz. Rev. Stat. §44-1261 to §44-1267, your Tempe 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 Arizona for personal, family, or household purposes.
Ariz. Rev. Stat. §44-1261 to §44-1267 covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Arizona for personal, family, or household purposes. If you bought used, send the paperwork anyway, including any written warranty that came with the car.
We handle any warranty defect that substantially impairs the car's use, value or safety and that the dealer could not fix. The defects we see most often are engine stalling and misfires, transmission shudder or failure, electrical faults, brake and steering problems, and driver-assist systems that brake or drift on their own. Applies during the warranty term or 2 years/24,000 miles from delivery.
ATTORNEY & TRUST
Nothing upfront, and no attorney's fee unless we recover for you. In Arizona, the manufacturer pays the consumer's attorney's fees when the consumer wins. In most successful Arizona claims, the manufacturer pays our fee. 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.
