In most states, a vehicle qualifies as a lemon if the manufacturer has attempted to repair the same problem multiple times (usually 3-4 attempts) and failed to fix it.

Alternatively, if your vehicle has been out of service for 30 days or more due to repairs, you may also qualify.

Most new and leased vehicles are covered under the Lemon Law. This includes cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, and sometimes even boats and RVs.

The vehicle must usually still be under the manufacturer’s warranty, and the problems must have occurred during this period.

A vehicle is considered a “lemon” if it has significant defects that impair its safety, use, or value, and the manufacturer has been unable to repair the issues after a reasonable number of attempts.
