Dallas - Lemon Law Attorney

What Is the Lemon Law in Dallas?

The lemon law in Dallas, called the Texas Lemon Law, is designed to protect consumers who buy or lease new vehicles that turn out to be defective. If your vehicle has a problem that the dealership or manufacturer doesn’t fix after being given a reasonable opportunity to do so, you may be entitled to legal remedies such as:

• A refund (minus a reasonable usage fee)
• A replacement vehicle
• A cash settlement
• Additional compensation, such as coverage for tows, repairs, and attorney’s fees

Keep in mind, the defect in question must substantially impair the vehicle’s use, safety, or value and be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.

Do You Need a Lemon Law Attorney in Dallas?

Yes—navigating a Dallas lemon law claim without an attorney will likely only lead to frustration and disappointment. Many people don’t realize that manufacturers have teams of legal advisors working to minimize claims. Hiring a lemon law attorney levels the playing field and greatly improves your chances of success.

Best of all, at Krohn & Moss, Ltd., we don’t charge a retainer fee, and we don’t get paid unless you win or settle your case! Our lemon law attorneys serving Dallas understand how to present your case effectively and fight for the most favorable outcome. Whether your case is resolved through negotiation, arbitration, or court proceedings, we’re with you at every step.

What Qualifies as a Lemon in Dallas?

Under the Texas Lemon Law, your vehicle may qualify as a lemon if:

• The defect is (or was) covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
• You’ve attempted repairs at least 4 times for the same issue (or 2 times if it’s a serious safety issue) OR the vehicle has been out of service for repair for 30 or more total days.
• The problem began within the first 24 months or 24,000 miles (whichever comes first)

If your situation meets these conditions, you may have a strong lemon law claim. Even if it doesn’t, you could still be protected under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act or other consumer protection statutes. The time to file a claim doesn’t last forever, so reach out to our attorneys as soon as possible to get started.

Common Vehicle Defects That May Qualify

While every case is unique, certain defects show up frequently in lemon law claims. If your vehicle experiences any of the following and repeated repairs haven’t solved the issue, you may be eligible for compensation:

• Engine failure or stalling
• Transmission issues
• Brake, suspension, or steering malfunctions
• Persistent electrical system problems
• Repeated check engine lights
• Infotainment system failures
• And more

Does the Lemon Law in Dallas Apply to Used Cars? 

Many Dallas residents wonder whether the lemon law applies to used cars. In some cases, it can—if the vehicle is still under the original factory warranty. In other cases, we can pursue protection under the Federal Lemon Law or other consumer protection statutes. If your used car keeps breaking down and the seller or manufacturer hasn’t resolved the problem, talk to us. We’ll let you know your options.
