Filing a lemon law claim can seem daunting, but following these steps ensures you’re on the right track:
1. Keep Comprehensive Records:
Document everything, including purchase agreements, repair orders, receipts, and communications with the manufacturer.
2. Verify Eligibility:
Check your vehicle’s warranty coverage, defect severity, and the number of repair attempts required in your state.
3. Notify the Manufacturer:
Submit a formal letter outlining the defect and request action. Include supporting documentation.
4. Pursue Arbitration (if required):
Some states mandate arbitration before proceeding to legal claims.
5. Consult an Attorney:
An experienced lemon law attorney can negotiate on your behalf or represent you in court if needed.
