When is your vehicle eligible under Lemon law?


(1) Under Georgia law your car must be presented for repair of serious defect within the first year of purchase or before 12,000 miles. This is called the "lemon law rights period" and vehicles submitted for repair outside this period are ineligible under this law.

(2) The manufacturer must be allowed at least one repair of a serious defect in the braking or steering systems during the "lemon law rights period"; at least two repairs of other serious defects during the first 24 months or 24,000 miles with at least one failed repair attempt during the "lemon law rights period"; at least three repairs on any other malfunctioning in the first 24 months or 24,000 miles, with at least on e failed attempt during the "lemon law rights period". This period can be extended under special circumstances.

(3) The vehicle must have been out of service for repairs for at least 30 days during the first 24 months or 24,000 miles with at least 15 days during the "lemon law rights period"

Legal Proceedings

Firstly, you must have all documents relating to repair attempts. These include diagnosis of the defect, details of work done and parts replaced and the dates and the odometer readings when the vehicle was presented for repairs. Keep a record of the days your vehicle was out of service. Remember manufacturers have won many cases due to lack of attention to details on the part of the consumer.

Do not approach the manufacturer without an attorney. Alternatively you can consult the state run OCA. They will provide all relevant information and, if needed, will also help set up an arbitration hearing. All this comes free.
