Follow these steps before contacting a lawyer to make a lemon law claim on your behalf.
1
Read the Warranty Booklet
Your warranty booklet tells you step-by-step which steps you should take to address issues with your vehicle. Most, if not all, have a section regarding lemon law.
2
Take the Vehicle to the Dealer for all Maintenance and Repairs
It's a good idea to take your vehicle to the dealership for all your maintenance and repairs so that a history of maintenance and repairs can be documented.
3
Reasonable Repair Attempts
For dangerous conditions, the dealership is allowed 2 attempts to repair. For non-dangerous conditions, the dealership is allowed 4 attempts to repair. However, if the dealership has your vehicle for 30 days total, even for a single repair, this will qualify your vehicle for lemon law relief.
4
Contact the Manufacturer
If the circumstances in Step 3 apply, complain to the manufacturer in writing or by telephone and note their response and who you communicated with.
5
Contact a Lemon Law Attorney
If the above steps do not resolve your issue with the vehicle call a lemon law attorney. Unfortunately, manufacturers have a bad habit of ignoring the consumer until an attorney gets involved.
