How your Delaware claim gets built
Our lemon law work is directed by Steven P. Nassi, Esq., Managing Partner, Easy Lemon by RockPoint Law P.C. A Delaware claim gets built on two things: the Delaware 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.

Townsend Lemon Law Basics
Delaware's lemon law, Del. Code tit. 6, §5001 to §5009, is the one that applies in Townsend. It covers new motor vehicles under 10,000 lbs GVWR purchased or leased in Delaware for personal, family, or household use. You may have a claim once your repair orders reach one of the repair limits in the box above, as long as the defect is still there. Delaware's lemon law sets no filing deadline of its own; defects must be reported within the warranty term or 1 year from original delivery, whichever is earlier. Our Delaware Lemon Law Attorneys page has the full statute text, the filing deadlines and the used-car rules.

Is Your Townsend Car a Lemon? Delaware's 3-Step Test
Does the Defect Substantially Impair Use, Value, or Safety?
Under Delaware law, the defect has to substantially impair the vehicle's use, value, or safety.
Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?
In Delaware the test is 4 repair attempts for the same defect or 30 cumulative calendar days out of service, within the period described in step 3. Count the visits on your repair orders to see where you stand.
Did It Happen Within the Rights Period?
The Delaware lemon law does not set its own deadline to sue, but defects must be reported within the warranty term or 1 year from original delivery, whichever is earlier. 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 Townsend
Townsend is in New Castle County. New Castle County's general civil trial court is the Superior Court of the State of Delaware, sitting in New Castle County. Which court hears a particular case still depends on its facts, the warranty issues involved and the law it is brought under.
The Delaware lemon law is Del. Code tit. 6, §5001 to §5009. Arbitration is available in Delaware but not required before a lawsuit.
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 a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use. The court may award a consumer who prevails costs and reasonable attorney fees.
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
Under Delaware law the remedy is a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use. A qualifying case from Townsend 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.
