What Is the Lemon Law in Columbus, Ohio?

The lemon law in Columbus, known more widely as the Ohio Lemon Law, protects consumers when they purchase a defective motor vehicle. If you purchase a new vehicle with a defect or condition that substantially impairs its use, value, or safety, the law entitles you to a refund or a replacement vehicle. However, you must give the manufacturer an opportunity to resolve the issue first.

The defect(s), and at least the first repair attempt, must occur within the first year of ownership or before you’ve put 18,000 miles on the car, whichever comes first. If the defect continues to exist after a reasonable number of repair attempts, the vehicle is a lemon and may be returned. The Ohio Lemon Law defines “a reasonable number of attempts” in a few different ways:

  • 1 attempt: for any defects likely to cause death or serious bodily injury
  • 3 attempts: for any single defect
  • 8 attempts: for any combination of defects
  • 30 cumulative days out of service: for any combination of defects

The law was designed with new, non-commercial motor vehicles in mind. This means most passenger cars, motorcycles, trucks, and certain recreational vehicles are covered. Even if you don’t qualify under the state law, you may be eligible for compensation under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a federal law that provides additional consumer protections throughout the duration of your warranty, which could be as long as ten (10) years or 100,000 miles in certain circumstances.
