Ohio Lemon Law Information
In 1987 Ohio legislators passed one of the most comprehensive lemon laws in the nation. The Ohio lemon law requires automakers to repair defects that affect the use, value, or safety of a new car within the first 12 months or 18,000 miles, whichever comes first. If you are having problems with your new car or truck you should immediately take it to an authorized dealer for repair. The Ohio lemon law covers cars and light duty trucks that are purchased or leased.
In order to qualify under the Ohio lemon law, the manufacturer or dealer must be given a reasonable opportunity to fix the problem, and if the problem is not corrected, you might be eligible for a refund or replacement. You are covered by the lemon law even if the problem was discovered late in the protection period and the repair attempts extend beyond one year or 18,000 miles. Failure to comply with parts of Ohio's Lemon Law is a also violation of Ohio's Consumer Sales Practices Act.
A lemon vehicle is a new car or light duty truck that has a problem or problems, covered by the warranty, and that substantially impairs the use, value or safety of that vehicle. If you have had problems with your passenger car, noncommercial motor vehicle or motorcycle during the first year or 18,000 miles, whichever occurs first, you should take it back to the manufacturer or the dealer and ask them to fix it. If they fail to correct the problem(s) after being given a reasonable opportunity to do so, you might own a lemon.
The following test will help you determine if you are entitled to relief under Ohio’s lemon law. If you can answer “yes” to any of the following four questions, the manufacturer is presumed to have had a reasonable opportunity to repair your car or truck under the Ohio lemon law. In the first year, or 18,000 miles, whichever occurs first:
• Have three or more attempts been made to repair one problem and then the problem either continues to exist or occurs again?
• Has the vehicle been in the shop for a cumulative total of 30 days or more during its first year or 18,000 miles, whichever occurs first?
• Have eight or more attempts been made to fix different problems?
• Has one unsuccessful attempt been made to fix a problem that could cause death or serious injury?
Additionally, there is a federal lemon law called the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act which allows Ohio consumers who purchase or lease defective cars and trucks to recover damages. This federal lemon law also applies to used cars and trucks which are covered by a warranty and have repairs performed under the warranty.
Attorney fees and costs are paid by the manufacturer, in addition to your damages, under both the Ohio lemon law and the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. Therefore, there is no charge to you for our lemon law attorney to handle your lemon law claim.
