Your Missouri lemon law attorney

Admitted in Missouri

Nicole Forsythe handles Missouri lemon law claims as Of Counsel, and she works out of Kansas City. She is admitted in Missouri and in Kansas, with a J.D. from the University of Missouri–Kansas City School of Law and an LL.M. in Taxation. Missouri counts out-of-service time in business days rather than calendar days, which catches people out. Thirty of those, or four repair attempts for the same defect, under Mo. Rev. Stat. §407.560. You have to notify the manufacturer in writing first, and it gets one last try to fix the car.

Wentzville Lemon Law Basics

The law that applies in Wentzville is Missouri's lemon law, Mo. Rev. Stat. §407.560 to §407.579, and it covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Missouri for personal, family, or household use. You may have a claim if your repair orders reach one of the repair limits in the box above while the defect is still there and you are inside the deadline. The statute text, the filing deadlines and the rules on used cars are on our Missouri Lemon Law Attorneys page.

3

We File the Claim

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

Mo. Rev. Stat. §407.560 to §407.579

Is Your Wentzville Car a Lemon? Missouri's 3-Step Test

1

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

Under Missouri law, the defect has to substantially impair the vehicle's use, value, or safety.

2

Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?

In Missouri the test is 4 repair attempts for the same defect or 30 cumulative business 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 Missouri, a claim must be filed within 6 months after the express warranty expires or 18 months from original delivery, whichever is earlier, or within 90 days after the decision if you used the manufacturer's dispute program. 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.

St. Charles County

Court and Venue in Wentzville

Wentzville is in St. Charles County. St. Charles County's general civil trial court is the Circuit Court of St. Charles County, part of the 11th Judicial Circuit. Which court hears a particular case still depends on its facts, the warranty issues involved and the law it is brought under.

The Missouri lemon law is Mo. Rev. Stat. §407.560 to §407.579. If the manufacturer's arbitration program is state-certified, the consumer must complete it first.

The repair test in the statute is 4 repair attempts for the same defect, or 30 cumulative business days with the vehicle out of service. The statutory remedy is a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use. Under the statute, a consumer who prevails can recover attorney fees from the manufacturer.

Open recalls on your vehicle can be checked against NHTSA records at easylemon.com/recalls. A recall alone is not a lemon law claim.

Your Rights Under Missouri Law

What The Manufacturer Owes You

Missouri law provides for a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use. There are three ways a qualifying case from Wentzville usually ends.

$

Refund

Give the car back and the manufacturer repays the price you paid, with the taxes, registration fees and finance charges. A reasonable use offset comes off that amount.

Replacement Vehicle

The manufacturer hands you a comparable new car and pays the cost of the exchange.

$

Cash Settlement

The car stays yours and the manufacturer pays for the value the defect took off it. You will not find this option in the statute. It is reached by negotiation.

Frequently Asked Questions

The answers below are based on Missouri law and on the paperwork Wentzville drivers usually send us.

PROCESS & TIMELINE
Most of the Missouri 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. In Missouri, a claim must be filed within 6 months after the express warranty expires or 18 months from original delivery, whichever is earlier, or within 90 days after the decision if you used the manufacturer's dispute program.
Bring the repair orders from your Wentzville 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.
Usually not. Most lemon law cases we handle for Wentzville drivers settle with the manufacturer before a lawsuit is filed. In Missouri, you must exhaust the manufacturer's arbitration program if it is state-certified. We prepare that filing for you.
REMEDIES
Under Mo. Rev. Stat. §407.560 to §407.579, the remedy is a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use. Which one you get depends on your repair history and on what the manufacturer offers.
In Missouri, the manufacturer pays the consumer's attorney's fees when the consumer wins. We work on contingency, so you pay nothing upfront and there is no attorney's fee unless we recover for you. When a manufacturer settles or loses, we ask it to pay our fee on top of your recovery. The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. §2310(d)) adds a second fee-shifting route when a written warranty is breached. Our fee agreement is one page.
ATTORNEY & TRUST
Nothing upfront, and no attorney's fee unless we recover for you. In Missouri, the manufacturer pays the consumer's attorney's fees when the consumer wins. When a manufacturer settles, we ask it to pay our fee on top of your recovery. 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.

“My car made an awful noise whenever I turned in one particular direction, so I took it in for a warranty repair—yet they couldn't fix the issue. After five repair visits with the problem still ongoing, I decided to search for a lemon law attorney to review my case. Thankfully, I came across Easy Lemon via a Google search. After I submitted all my repair records, they took my case and won me a very generous cash settlement! They always kept me informed with updates, and the entire process was seamless. I highly recommend Easy Lemon if you're looking for a lemon law attorney—I'll say it again, choose Easy Lemon!”

“I cried on the phone. Not my finest moment. But I was so tired of dealing with a car that never worked right. The service manager knew my name, that's how often I was there. Natalie Nassi was so calm and patient with me. She said 'let us handle it so you don't have to keep going back there.' And she did. They got me a buyback. I don't cry about my car anymore.”

“Had a Ram truck with a diesel emissions nightmare. Kept going into limp mode. Dealer couldn't figure it out after four visits. Called EasyLemon Law. Liam Jones took the case and actually understood the emissions system. He asked about regen cycles and DEF consumption—stuff the dealer never even mentioned. They fought with Ram for about five months and got me a replacement truck. If you have a diesel, this is your guy..”
