What Is the Lemon Law in Kansas?

The Kansas Motor Vehicle Warranties Law, also known as the Kansas Lemon Law, forces vehicle manufacturers to honor the warranties of the vehicles they sell and lease. If they fail to do so, the law enables consumers to return their defective vehicle for a refund or replacement vehicle.

For a vehicle to qualify for protection under the Kansas Lemon Law, it must meet two simple requirements:

  • It was purchased or leased within the state of Kansas
  • It weighs 12,000 lbs or less

The vehicle also needs to have a defect that substantially impairs its use or value. And such defects must not be the result of abuse, neglect, or unauthorized modifications or alternations. Finally, the defect needs to persist after providing the manufacturer with a reasonable number of attempts to repair it.

Collecting Compensation

The Kansas Lemon Law entitles consumers who purchase a lemon to a refund or replacement vehicle. However, you must prove that the vehicle is a lemon before you can collect any compensation.

Most manufacturers have an informal dispute settlement procedure which you must turn to before filing a legal claim. These procedures typically take the form of an arbitration panel administered by a third party. In most cases, the informal procedures don’t require a hearing. Instead, you simply submit the relevant documents to the board, which we can do on your behalf.

After reviewing your evidence, the arbitration board should issue a decision as to whether or not you deserve to be compensated for your lemon. Assuming the board rules in your favor, they’ll also suggest appropriate compensation. If you aren’t satisfied with the outcome of the informal dispute settlement procedure, we can file a claim in the courts to get you the compensation you deserve.

Available Remedies

The Kansas Lemon Law entitles you to a refund of the full purchase price, including taxes, fees, and any “collateral charges” resulting from the defect. Collateral charges commonly include towing fees, rental cars, and attorney’s fees. However, manufacturers may withhold a reasonable allowance to account for the time you were able to use the vehicle.

Alternatively, you can elect to receive a replacement vehicle. Or, in some cases, you may be awarded a cash settlement to make you whole for the amount you overpaid for the vehicle.
