At Rockpoint Law, lemon law is all we do. Ford builds some of the most reliable trucks on the road and some of the most litigated transmissions — and when the same fault keeps coming back after repeated repairs, the warranty stops being the answer and the lemon law takes over.
Start with a free case evaluation. Bring your repair orders — the dates and the complaint on each one are what a claim is built from.
Get Your Free Case Evaluation →A Ford qualifies as a lemon when a warranty defect keeps coming back after a reasonable number of repair attempts, or when the vehicle has spent too long out of service. What counts as reasonable is set by your state, not by the dealer.
The question is never whether Ford makes good vehicles. It is whether the one you bought can actually be fixed.
Send us your repair orders and we'll tell you honestly whether you have a claim.
Talk to Rockpoint Law →The DPS6 shudders, slips and hesitates from a stop in a way software reflashing never reliably cured. Ford issued years of updates, clutch replacements, a warranty extension and a class-action settlement — all evidence the defect was known and persistent.
Coolant works into the cylinders, showing as a sweet smell, white exhaust, misfires and overheating. Left alone it cracks the block or fails the head gasket. It looks like a random misfire first, so it often takes several visits to name — each one a repair attempt.
Harsh 1-2 shifts, a clunk on downshift, an occasional slam into gear, and a 'shift to park' warning that won't clear. On a work truck, days in the service bay add up fast, and time out of service is its own lemon law trigger in many states.
The 2020-onward Explorer brought clunks, vibration and rear subframe concerns that have generated technical service bulletins.
Ford participates in the BBB AUTO LINE arbitration programme. Some states make you go through it before you can sue and others don't, and which rule applies depends on where the vehicle is registered. An arbitration decision binds Ford only if you accept it — reject the outcome and the claim goes to court. We handle either path.
Your warranty term, mileage and the complaint on each repair order decide whether you have a claim at all. We work out how much of your state's window is left, and whether the federal Magnuson-Moss route still applies if it has closed.
We read your repair orders and confirm which qualifying test fits and whether a safety-hazard route applies, because a safety defect usually cuts the repairs you need.
Most routes require written notice to the manufacturer and a reasonable opportunity to repair before a claim is filed. We handle it correctly so it can't be used against you later.
Depending on your state and manufacturer, that means the manufacturer's arbitration programme or a warranty lawsuit. A clean, well-documented claim gets a different result from a thin one.
Repurchase, a comparable replacement, or a cash settlement that leaves you in the vehicle. On a repurchase the manufacturer deducts a mileage offset for use before the defect appeared.
We handle Ford claims across the truck, car and EcoBoost lineup. We read your repair orders and your dates first, because those decide whether there is a case at all. If the state window has closed, we tell you whether the federal Magnuson-Moss route still works.
