A new vehicle with a substantial, warranty-covered defect that the manufacturer cannot fix after a reasonable number of attempts. You meet that standard through four repair attempts, two attempts for a serious safety hazard, or 30 days out of service within 24 months or 24,000 miles.
The manufacturer must buy the vehicle back or replace it. A buyback returns your purchase price minus a reasonable allowance for the miles you used, and can include taxes, fees, and finance charges.
You must file your complaint with the TxDMV within six months after your express warranty expires. Because the repair tests run during the first 24 months or 24,000 miles, it is best to act while the car is still under warranty.
Generally no, the Lemon Law covers new vehicles. But used-car buyers may still have claims under warranty law or the Deceptive Trade Practices Act, which we evaluate on the first call.
Usually not. We work on contingency, and the DTPA and Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act often require the manufacturer to pay your attorney fees when you win.
Your purchase or lease contract, the warranty, and every repair order showing the dates and the work attempted. Those repair orders are the backbone of a lemon claim.
