What is Lemon Law

Each state has a strict time limit—often 1-3 years from purchase or while under warranty. If you wait too long, you could lose your right to compensation. Some states also have mileage caps (e.g., some states requires filing before 18,000 miles or 18 months). If you’re unsure, check your eligibility today—before it’s too late.

Some states protect used cars if they are still under the manufacturer’s warranty or were sold with undisclosed defects. For example, New York covers used cars with serious issues within 90 days or 4,000 miles of purchase. If your used car keeps breaking down, you might still have a case.

A recall doesn’t automatically qualify for Lemon Law, but if the repair fails to fix the issue or parts are delayed for months, you could still have a case. If the manufacturer refuses to provide a permanent solution, Easy Lemon fights to get you a refund, replacement, or payout.

Arbitration is often stacked in favor of automakers—they control the process and may lowball settlements or delay your claim. Many drivers end up with a fraction of what they’re owed. Easy Lemon negotiates directly to secure the highest payout possible—without wasting time.

Many cases settle within 30-90 days, but complex cases can take longer if manufacturers stall. Some automakers drag out claims, hoping you’ll give up. Easy Lemon applies legal pressure to ensure you get paid as quickly as possible.

Yes! Leased vehicles qualify for Lemon Law in most states just like owned cars. If your leased car has repeated defects that impair safety or use, you could be entitled to a refund of all payments or a replacement vehicle.

Depending on your case, you may receive a full refund, a replacement car, or a cash settlement. This includes reimbursement for repairs, loan payments, registration fees, and out-of-pocket costs like rental cars and towing. Easy Lemon fights for every dollar you’re owed.

No! Filing a Lemon Law claim has zero impact on your credit score, financing, or loan status. If anything, winning a case can help by removing unwanted car payments or repair costs.

In some cases, yes! If you sold or traded in a defective car after repeated failed repairs, you may still have legal options. Some states allow claims within the warranty period, even if you no longer own the car.

Dealerships don’t decide Lemon Law claims—state laws do. Many mislead buyers into thinking they have no case. Easy Lemon reviews your claim for free and determines if you qualify, regardless of what the dealership says.
