What is the Georgia Lemon Law?

What Does the Lemon Law in Georgia Cover?

Is My Vehicle Considered a Lemon? 

To qualify for compensation under the Georgia Lemon Law, your vehicle must have a defect that substantially impairs the vehicle’s use, value, or safety. Additionally, this defect must be covered by the manufacturer’s original warranty. This defect must persist after you’ve provided the auto manufacturer with a reasonable chance to repair it.

Typically, the law defines “reasonable” as three repair attempts or one attempt for serious safety defects. Alternatively, if the vehicle is out of service for repairs for a total of 30 or more days, it’s presumed to be a lemon.

The law covers new vehicles, demonstrator vehicles, and self-propelled motor homes that are:

  • Purchased or leased for personal, family, or household use OR
  • Purchased or leased as one of 10 or fewer motor vehicles for a business other than a limousine rental service

The Georgia Lemon Law has meticulous criteria, so it’s important to work with an experienced lemon law lawyer.

Understanding the Georgia Lemon Law Time Limit

Time Left to File a Claim 

Under the Georgia Lemon Law, your vehicle’s repair attempt(s) must take place within 24 months or 24,000 miles of the original date of delivery. If the manufacturer does not resolve the issue, you typically have 12 months from the expiration of this Lemon Law Rights Period to submit your State-Operated Arbitration Application, which our attorneys can handle for you. If this window has passed, we may still be able to file under the Federal Lemon Law, which provides a longer window of opportunity.

Regardless, the sooner you act, the greater your chance of a successful recovery. If you purchased or leased a vehicle that’s not working as it should, reach out to our lemon law lawyers serving Georgia.
