The 60-second answer

The Wyoming Lemon Law (Wyo. Stat. §40-17-101) requires manufacturers to repurchase or replace a new motor vehicle with a substantial defect after 4 repair attempts for the same defect (more than three, as the statute puts it) or 30 cumulative business days out of service. Under this statute, a consumer who prevails can recover attorney fees. You pay no attorney fees unless we recover for you. Easy Lemon represents Wyoming drivers at every stage.

How your Wyoming claim gets built

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

Warning Signs

Is Your Car a Lemon?

Your car may be a lemon if it keeps going back to the dealer or the mechanic for the same problem. Under Wyoming law, the defect must make the car unsafe, unreliable or worth much less. The manufacturer or dealer must also have failed to fix it after 4 repair attempts for the same defect (more than three, as the statute puts it) or 30 cumulative business days out of service.

The same noise, shaking or warning light keeps coming back.

The dealer has worked on it multiple times and the problem is still there.

The Process

How Wyoming's Lemon Law Process Works

1

Document Your Repairs

Ask for a repair order every time you visit a Wyoming dealer, even if the technician finds nothing. Under Wyo. Stat. §40-17-101, these papers prove your repair attempts. Keep every receipt and work order.

2

Contact Easy Lemon

Send us your records. We check your repair history against Wyoming's statute and tell you if your car qualifies as a lemon. The consultation is free, with no obligation.

3

We File Your Claim

We prepare the claim and handle the paperwork. This includes the written notice to the manufacturer by certified mail that Wyoming law requires.

4

Manufacturer Response

Wyoming law requires written notice to the manufacturer by certified mail. If the defect remains, you may have a claim under Wyoming law. Most claims then move toward settlement.

5

Get Compensated

A successful case usually ends with a refund, a replacement vehicle or a cash settlement. No attorney fees unless we recover for you.

What Our Clients Say

About the Wyoming Lemon Law

Answers anchored to Wyo. Stat. §40-17-101, the statute that governs lemon law claims in Wyoming.

What is the Wyoming lemon law? +
The Wyoming lemon law is Wyo. Stat. §40-17-101, and it covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Wyoming for personal, family, or household use. If a substantial warranty defect survives the repairs the statute counts, the manufacturer owes a replacement vehicle or a full refund, but Wyoming lets it take a reasonable use offset off the refund. An owner in Casper has the same statute behind them as one in Gillette, Rock Springs or Jackson, anywhere from Cheyenne to Yellowstone.
How many repair attempts make a car a lemon in Wyoming? +
Wyoming's statute says "more than three" repair attempts for the same defect, so the count is 4. There is a second route too, 30 cumulative business days out of service. Visits and days are two separate counts. We take the days from the dates in and out on each repair order, which is why it helps to keep the order from every visit, the week-long ones and the ones where the car went home the same afternoon.
How long do I have to file a lemon law claim in Wyoming? +
You have 1 year following original delivery of the vehicle. We read the delivery date off your purchase or lease contract and count forward from it, and we also watch the notice rules and the separate statute of limitation that can apply, since waiting too long can cost you your rights. When the warranty has run out in the meantime, we pull the first repair order that mentions the defect, because a defect reported while the warranty was active can still support a claim after the coverage ends.
Does the Wyoming lemon law cover used cars? +
A used car usually falls outside the Wyoming lemon law, since the statute is written for new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Wyoming for personal, family, or household use. We still ask used-car owners for the warranty papers and the repair orders, because the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act follows the written warranty, and a used car can have a claim under it, or under another consumer statute, when the defect showed up while the manufacturer's warranty was active.
Is a leased car covered by the Wyoming lemon law? +
Yes, a new motor vehicle leased in Wyoming for personal, family, or household use is covered. We've seen a lease end in a buyback before, on a 2025 Toyota Tundra leased in North Dakota, and we'd look at a Wyoming lease under the same statute that covers a purchase.
What kind of defect counts under the Wyoming lemon law? +
A defect counts if it substantially impairs the use, market value or safety of the vehicle, which is what the statute calls a nonconformity, so a transmission that shudders can count and a scratch or a small paint flaw usually doesn't. Most Wyoming drivers who call us have engines that stall or misfire, transmissions that shudder or fail, or electrical faults that leave warning lights on. We also hear about brakes and steering, about driver-assistance (ADAS) systems that brake or drift on their own, and about recall repairs that did not fix the problem.
Do I have to notify the manufacturer myself in Wyoming? +
Wyoming requires written notice to the manufacturer by certified mail. You don't have to write it yourself, because we draft that letter, send it and follow up with the manufacturer, and the certified mail receipt goes into your file.
What can I get if my car is a lemon in Wyoming? +
A replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable use offset, is what the statute gives you. Some cases end another way, with a cash settlement that comes out of negotiating. Then you keep the car and get paid for the defect, while in a buyback or a replacement the car goes back to the manufacturer.
Who pays the attorney's fees in a Wyoming lemon law case? +
If you prevail, the Wyoming statute lets you recover attorney fees from the manufacturer, and when a written warranty was breached the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. §2310(d)) gives you a second route to them. We work on contingency, so you pay nothing upfront and there's no attorney's fee unless we recover for you, and when a manufacturer settles or loses we ask it to pay our fees on top of your recovery. Case costs are a separate item, and the one-page fee agreement says how they're handled. We go through it with you on the first call.
Will I have to go to arbitration or court in Wyoming? +
Court is unlikely, because most of the lemon law cases we handle settle with the manufacturer before a lawsuit is filed. Arbitration is another matter in Wyoming. If the manufacturer has an arbitration program, the consumer must use it, and we prepare that filing for you.
Do I need a lemon law attorney in Wyoming? +
Nothing stops you from bringing the claim yourself, but the manufacturer will show up with its own legal team. A lemon law attorney knows what the Wyoming statute requires and how the arbitration, the negotiation and the litigation work, and a consumer who prevails may recover attorney fees from the manufacturer. Whether to hire one is your decision. We don't have an office in Wyoming. Our offices are in Manhasset NY, Newark NJ, Miami FL and Dallas TX, and we handle Wyoming cases by phone, email and e-signature, since nothing in the statute requires you to appear anywhere to open a claim. Our lawyers are only permitted to practice law in the jurisdictions in which they are licensed or have been authorized to practice.
Is Easy Lemon a real law firm? +
Easy Lemon started in 2024 as a consumer brand of RockPoint Law P.C., and the attorneys behind it have 25+ years of combined experience. Ron Kaniuk, our Florida managing partner, has practiced law since 1997. We've handled 3,000+ vehicle warranty cases, and our published case studies, with the make, the defects and the outcome, are on easylemon.com.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I start a lemon law claim in Wyoming? +
It starts with a call to 855-435-3666 or the free case review form at easylemon.com, and once we hear what happened we ask for the repair orders. A Connecticut client sent us four of them for a 2025 Audi Q5. The dealer replaced the fuel filler cap, and it kept popping off. The same Audi service action was done twice. After a remote software update the check engine light came back on, and later the car lost power and got towed in. For a Wyoming car we hold orders like those up against the 4 attempts and the 30 business days out of service. The written notice goes to the manufacturer by certified mail, and we handle the claim mostly by phone and email, whether you're in Laramie, Sheridan or Evanston.
Do days in the shop count as much as repair visits? +
They can, since 30 cumulative business days out of service is a route of its own under the Wyoming statute, separate from the 4 repair attempts. A 2024 Audi Q8 e-tron in Texas went in 3 times. The rear motor was leaking coolant into its housing, so the dealer replaced the motor. Then the cruise control, the turn signals and the rear light bar started failing, and by the end the car had been out of service 166 days. In Wyoming only business days go toward the 30 days, and we count them off the dealer's repair orders.
What if the dealer says it can't find the problem? +
It helps to get the repair order anyway, even when the technician finds nothing. A South Florida couple kept hearing a noise from the rear of their Kia Telluride and took it back four times, and no one ever found the cause. By the time they called us it had been out of service for more than 40 days, and Kia bought it back. An intermittent defect can still qualify under Wyoming's law if it substantially impairs the vehicle, and since the dealer may never see it happen, we prove it with the repair records, what you tell us and sometimes technical experts.
Can I get a full refund, or a cash settlement and keep my car? +
Either one can happen, and which we push for depends on the facts, Wyoming's law and what you want. A buyback gives you the purchase price back, plus certain fees, minus the use offset for the miles you drove. Manufacturers often figure that offset as your mileage divided by the car's useful life in miles, usually 100,000 to 120,000, and then times the purchase price. A 2025 Toyota Tundra leased in North Dakota had a persistent cylinder 6 misfire, and Toyota recommended replacing the short block. The truck spent 135 days in the shop, and it was bought back for $59,849.45. The Connecticut Audi Q5 was bought back for $62,843.21, and the firm-wide results listed above run from $114,299 to $160,264. Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
Do you take cases against every manufacturer? +
We take cases against domestic and foreign brands, and our published results include Tesla, Audi, GMC, Chevrolet, Toyota, Kia and Jeep in several states, among them the 2023 GMC Hummer EV from Texas in the results above. A 2024 Tesla Cybertruck in New York had 15 miles on it at delivery and then started losing brake pressure, and Tesla tried four times to fix the brakes before it bought the truck back. A 2022 Jeep Wrangler we handled in South Carolina pulled right with vibration at 186 miles and later developed the "death wobble". When a manufacturer won't cooperate, our attorneys negotiate first and litigate when they have to.
What if my car doesn't meet the Wyoming repair count? +
Other laws may still reach the defect. Breach of warranty claims, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and Wyoming unfair trade practices and consumer protection statutes can each apply to a defect that falls short of 4 attempts or 30 business days out of service. So can the UCC implied warranties, since merchantability under UCC §2-314 applies to sales of goods by merchants, used vehicles included, and it's a lower bar than the lemon law's substantial impairment. UCC §2-315 comes in when you relied on the seller's advice for a particular use, like towing.
How long does a lemon law case take in Wyoming? +
Some claims settle within weeks and others take months, especially when the manufacturer asks for its own inspection of the car. Most of ours settle at the written-demand stage and never turn into a lawsuit, and along the way you get a copy of every letter we send and a note whenever the manufacturer answers. A claim that fails usually fails because the defect was first reported after the Wyoming deadline, or because the repair orders never mention it. We'd rather hear from you around the third or fourth repair attempt, well inside the year after delivery.

Arbitration Board

Wyoming Lemon Law Arbitration

Wyoming requires you to use the manufacturer's arbitration program if one is available, while the federal Magnuson-Moss Act requires it before a lawsuit only if the written warranty makes you use a program that meets FTC rules. So on a Wyoming file the first thing we check is whether your manufacturer has a program, and the general questions about these programs are answered in our lemon law FAQ.

Jurisdiction

When can a Wyoming arbitration program hear my case?

A program can take it once the repair history meets the Wyo. Stat. §40-17-101 threshold: 4 attempts for the same defect (the statute says "more than three") or 30 cumulative business days out of service. The written notice also has to have gone to the manufacturer by certified mail, because the statute makes it a prerequisite. We do the filing and send the repair orders and the purchase or lease contract in with it.

Timing

How long does a program take?

Each program sets its own schedule.

Decision

Does the program have the last word?

Often it binds the manufacturer. You generally keep the right to go to civil court, but appeal deadlines vary, and that's why we'd rather have a copy of the decision the day it shows up. If the program doesn't resolve things, either side can file a civil suit, and which Wyoming court would usually hear it is covered in the Statute-Cited Answers below.

State vs Federal

Wyoming Lemon Law vs Federal Magnuson-Moss

Most Wyoming cases benefit from invoking both statutes. We check each case under §40-17-101 and under the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. §2301) and use the stronger one.

State

Wyoming Lemon Law

Wyoming requires 4 repair attempts for the same defect (the statute says "more than three") or 30 cumulative business days out of service, and the claim has to be filed within 1 year following original delivery of the vehicle. The law reaches new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Wyoming for personal, family, or household use. If the manufacturer has an arbitration program you have to go through it, and a consumer who prevails may recover attorney fees.

Federal

Magnuson-Moss and a reasonable number of attempts

The federal act doesn't count visits or business days. It just asks for a "reasonable number" of repair attempts, and what's reasonable depends on the facts. Wyoming's window shuts one year after delivery, but Magnuson-Moss sets no filing deadline of its own and covers defects during the express warranty, so it can reach a defect outside the Wyoming lemon law period. Magnuson-Moss applies to any product under a written warranty, and that is why used cars often qualify.

Federal law requires arbitration before a lawsuit only if the written warranty makes you use a program that meets FTC rules. A case under either law can be heard in state or federal court, and the federal fee rule is 15 U.S.C. §2310(d)(2).

Practitioner Answers

Wyoming Lemon Law: Statute-Cited Answers

What counts as a reasonable number of repair attempts under §40-17-101?

The Wyoming statute says "more than three" repair attempts for the same defect (so 4) or 30 cumulative business days out of service. We count each attempt from a dealer repair order, and that is why it helps to ask for one every time, even when the technician finds nothing. Separately, the claim still has to be filed within 1 year following original delivery of the vehicle.

What do Wyoming lemon law attorneys need from you?

We start with the repair orders, all of them, and after that we need

  • the purchase or lease contract, which shows the delivery date the year runs from
  • the warranty booklet, which shows the express warranty
  • emails, texts and letters with the dealer or manufacturer
  • receipts for towing, rentals and lodging, since those costs are often recoverable

It helps to write down the date, the mileage and the symptom each time the problem shows up. You can also look up your VIN for recall notices at nhtsa.gov/recalls.

Which Wyoming court hears a lemon law case if arbitration fails?

If arbitration doesn't settle it, either side can file a civil suit, and a Wyoming lemon law suit usually goes to the state's court of general jurisdiction in the Wyoming county where you live or where the car was sold. Federal District Court is also possible for a Magnuson-Moss claim if damages exceed $50,000 or party diversity permits it (15 U.S.C. §2310(d)(1)). In the end, which court hears a particular case depends on its facts, the warranty issues involved and the law it is brought under.

Does Wyoming require written notice to the manufacturer?

Wyoming requires the notice in writing, sent by certified mail under §40-17-101, and our office writes it, mails it and keeps the receipt.

How is the buyback mileage offset worked out in Wyoming?

The refund comes minus a reasonable use offset for the miles you drove, and each state counts those miles its own way. Say one manufacturer divides your mileage by 100,000 and another divides by 120,000. The one using 100,000 takes more off your refund, and that is the math we check before anything gets signed. Registration, taxes and finance charges usually come back to you in the refund, and so do towing or rental costs. Attorney fees get paid apart from the buyback.
