Are you dealing with a defective vehicle that just will not stay fixed? Our dedicated lemon law attorneys help Jacksonville residents facing such issues. We’ve helped clients like you secure compensation in over 60,000 cases. And we’re eager to protect your rights by doing the same for you!

What is the Florida Lemon Law?

The Florida Lemon Law protects car buyers by requiring manufacturers to fix vehicle defects. Manufacturers must repair defects that significantly impair the vehicle’s use, value, or safety. If they fail to do so, they must provide you with a refund or replacement vehicle. We encourage you to seek assistance as soon as you suspect your vehicle may be a lemon.

The Lemon Law Rights Period spans the first 24 months of ownership. This period starts on the vehicle’s original delivery date. For the vehicle to qualify as a lemon, you must file a claim within 60 days after the expiration of this period. But the sooner you act, the better.

If this window has already passed, we may still be able to help. The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act provides even broader protections. It also allows us to file claims long after the Lemon Law Rights Period closes and to address a manufacturer’s failure to repair any defect during the entire warranty period. Still, acting as soon as possible provides you with the best chance at securing compensation.

What Does the Florida Lemon Law Cover?

The state’s Lemon Law applies to new passenger vehicles purchased or leased in the state. The vehicle must meet specific criteria to qualify as a lemon:

  • Vehicle Type: It must weigh less than 10,000 pounds and be used primarily for personal, family, or household purposes. If your vehicle does not meet these criteria, the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act may offer protection.
  • Defect Severity: The vehicle must have a defect that substantially impairs its use, value, or safety. And you must report the defect within the Lemon Law Rights Period.
  • Reasonable Repair Attempts: The defect persists after:
    • Three or More Repairs: The dealer must attempt to repair your vehicle at least three times.
    • Cumulative Repair Time: The vehicle has been out of service for over 30 days for covered repairs.

To determine if your vehicle qualifies as a lemon, you can complete our Lemon Law Test. Promptly acting can make all the difference in protecting your rights.

At Krohn & Moss, Ltd., we simplify the lemon law claims process by providing free case reviews. We review your case to see if you qualify for compensation under the lemon law in Jacksonville, FL. Our lawyers can help you gather repair records and file your Lemon Law claim.

If your car qualifies, we’ll need to notify the manufacturer of the defect in writing. Within 10 days of this notice, the manufacturer will choose a repair center for one last repair attempt. The facility then gets 10 days to complete the repairs. If they fail to do so, you have a lemon.

From here, we’ll begin the arbitration process. Car companies often offer to settle during or even before this process. We’ll provide our professional opinion about each settlement offer. But, rest assured, only you can choose to accept such offers.
