Lemon Law Exhibit Checklist FAQ
How many repair attempts make my car a lemon?
Most state lemon laws presume a vehicle is a lemon after 3 or more repair attempts for the same defect, or 30 or more cumulative days out of service during the warranty period. California's Song-Beverly Act (Civ. Code § 1793.2) uses a "reasonable number of attempts" standard. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. § 2301) provides a federal backstop.
Do I need a lawyer for a lemon law claim?
You can file without one, but lemon law attorneys typically work on contingency because most state lemon laws and the Magnuson-Moss Act allow recovery of attorney fees. This means you can often get representation at no upfront cost. Either way, organized repair records and correspondence are what win these cases.
What if the dealer says they "could not duplicate" my problem?
A "could not duplicate" visit still counts as a repair attempt in most states. Keep that repair order — it shows you reported the problem and the dealer had an opportunity to fix it. Multiple "could not duplicate" entries for the same complaint are actually strong evidence of a defect the dealer cannot resolve.
