Lemon Law Lookup by State
How many repair attempts before your car is legally a lemon? Pick your state. Presumption standards verified against state statutes, August 2026.
Building a lemon claim, in short
Every repair visit needs a repair order showing the date, the complaint, and days in the shop. That paper trail IS the case.
Report the same defect the same way each visit — "intermittent stalling" and "engine hesitation" should not be two different complaints.
Most states require a final written notice to the manufacturer (certified mail) before the presumption kicks in.
Even outside lemon-law windows, the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act lets you recover attorney fees on warranty claims — which is why lemon lawyers are often free to you.
