How does Florida’s Lemon Law work and what does it cover?
Florida’s Lemon Law, officially known as the Florida Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act, protects consumers who buy or lease new vehicles with significant defects. If a vehicle has a recurring issue that the manufacturer fails to fix after a “reasonable number” of repair attempts, the consumer may be entitled to a refund or a replacement.
Before taking legal action, consumers are required to try resolving the matter through the manufacturer’s informal dispute resolution process (usually arbitration). This involves submitting documentation and giving the manufacturer a final chance to repair the issue. If the dispute isn’t resolved in arbitration, the consumer can take the case to court.
The law covers new vehicles and some motor vehicles like RVs (but not their living facilities). Salvage vehicles and cars without warranty are not covered.
Are used cars protected under Florida’s Lemon Law?
Florida’s state Lemon Law only applies to new vehicles. However, used cars can still be protected under the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, as long as the defect is reported during the vehicle’s warranty period.
So if you buy a used car and it still has a valid manufacturer or dealer warranty, and a defect appears during that time, you may still have a case. This federal law doesn’t care whether the vehicle is new or used — it focuses on whether the warranty is active and whether the defect was properly reported.
What steps do I need to take to file a Lemon Law claim in Florida?
If your vehicle qualifies and the manufacturer fails to fix the defect after multiple repair attempts, you need to:
An attorney can help handle these steps and increase your chances of a successful outcome.
Can I use the Lemon Law in Florida if my car is leased?
Yes, leased vehicles are covered under Florida’s Lemon Law — as long as the defect appears during the lease and meets the same conditions as a purchased vehicle.
However, keep in mind: if you’re leasing, your refund is limited to the amount you’ve paid into the lease. You won’t be refunded for the full vehicle value since you don’t own the car.
What are the benefits of hiring a Lemon Law attorney in Florida?
The HUMMER EV was touted as the vehicle that would offer the space and capability of the old-style vehicles but with the new and more eco-friendly twist of an all-electric SUV or truck. Sadly, the vehicle has missed its target as many of the reported issues that result in a lemon law classification for these vehicles are related to the electrical system. Increasing problems with overall reliability and challenges have made consumers rethink the purchase of a HUMMER EV, while those who already own one are sorry they made such a hasty choice. The most common issues causing multiple trips to the dealership for repairs include:
While these are the most significant issues reported that can impact the vehicle’s safety and function, there are also reports of less serious but often experienced issues with the SUV’s rear swing gate, constant rattling sounds, exterior lights, compressor, and challenges with software updates.
