Chicago Lemon Law Attorneys

What Is the Lemon Law in Chicago?

The lemon law in Chicago, also known as the Illinois Lemon Law, protects consumers who purchase or lease a new vehicle that turns out to have a substantial defect.

If the defect is not corrected despite a reasonable chance to do so, the manufacturer must replace the vehicle or refund the purchase price, subject to a reasonable allowance for use.

The lemon law in Chicago can be tricky, but our attorneys handle all the fine print for you. If you are unsure whether your vehicle qualifies, simply request a free case review with our lemon law lawyers serving Chicago. We don’t charge a retainer fee, and we don’t get paid unless you win or settle your case!

Understanding How the Lemon Law in Chicago Works

The Lemon Law in Chicago, also known as the New Vehicle Buyer Protection Act, covers new passenger vehicles that weigh under 8,000 pounds and are designed to carry 10 people or fewer. Individuals with defective vehicles that meet the requirements of the law must provide the manufacturer with a “reasonable number” of attempts to repair the defect.

Under the law, “reasonable” can be defined in either of the following ways:

• Multiple repair attempts for the same issue
• Any number of repair attempts that render the vehicle out of service for a total of 30 or more business days

Our lemon law attorneys will review the details of your case, counsel you on the best course of action, and reach out to the manufacturer on your behalf. We’ll take care of everything so that you can stop stressing about your lemon and get back to your day-to-day routines.
