The details vary by state, so every answer depends on where the vehicle was bought or registered and on its records. ### New vehicles under a state lemon law Questions these cases turn on: - Did the defect first appear while the vehicle was under the manufacturer's warranty and inside the state's protection period? - Is the same defect still there after the number of repair attempts the state allows (a common benchmark is three to four attempts, or two for a serious safety defect such as brakes or steering)? - Has the vehicle been out of service for a cumulative 30 days or more for warranty repairs? - Does the defect substantially impair the vehicle's use, value or safety? - Was the manufacturer given written notice and a final repair attempt where the state requires it? What the firm needs: every repair order (each visit, with dates and the complaint described), the purchase or lease agreement and the warranty booklet. Helpful extras: messages with the dealer or manufacturer and records of the days the vehicle spent in the shop. ### Used and certified pre-owned vehicles Questions these cases turn on: - Was a written warranty in force when the defect appeared: the remaining factory warranty, a certified pre-owned warranty or a dealer warranty? - Does the state have a used-car lemon law? Only a minority of states have a dedicated used-car lemon law or used-car warranty statute. - Was the car sold "as-is"? An as-is sale with no written warranty removes the warranty routes, though a misrepresentation of condition, history or open recalls may still support a claim. What the firm needs: the purchase paperwork and every repair order. ### Leased vehicles Questions these cases turn on: - Is the leased vehicle still under the manufacturer's warranty? Leased vehicles are covered by lemon laws and the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act like purchased vehicles while the warranty applies, and the lessee does not have to own the car outright. - Which payments does the claim include? The firm pursues lease payments, down payments and related costs. What the firm needs: the items on the document checklist below, starting with the lease agreement and every repair order. ### [Electric vehicles](https://rockpointlaw.com/electric-vehicle-lemon-law/) State lemon laws and the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act cover EVs the same way they cover gas cars. Questions these cases turn on: - Is the range loss a large, sudden drop early in the car's life (which may support a claim) or gradual fade over years (which usually will not)? - Is the high-voltage battery or drive unit still under its separate, longer warranty (commonly eight years or 100,000 miles)? - Does an arbitration clause in the purchase agreement apply, and was there an opt-out window? Typical qualifying defects: repeated charging failures, onboard charger faults, sudden power loss, failed over-the-air updates that disable the car, dead touchscreens that control primary functions, phantom braking, thermal-management defects and abnormal battery degradation. What the firm needs: repair orders and invoices, the dates the car was in the shop, screenshots of range readings and warning messages, over-the-air update logs if available, and written messages from the dealer or manufacturer. ### [Diesel and emissions defects](https://rockpointlaw.com/diesel-emissions-lemon-law/) Questions these cases turn on: - Does the truck keep dropping into limp mode or derate after repairs? - Is it a failed emissions part (a warranty claim) or a defeat device (a fraud claim under consumer-protection law and the Clean Air Act)? - Do DEF sensor, injector or pump failures return after dealer repairs? - Is the failed part still under the federal emissions warranty? What the firm needs: repair orders, the purchase or lease paperwork, the window sticker if available, and any recall or technical service bulletin notices. ### [RVs and motorhomes](https://rockpointlaw.com/rv-motorhome-lemon-law/) Questions these cases turn on: - Does the state's lemon law cover the living area, or only the chassis and drivetrain? - Who is liable: the chassis maker (engine, transmission, drivetrain), the coach builder (the house it built) or a component maker? - Is it a towable (travel trailer or fifth wheel)? State lemon laws often exclude towables, but the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act covers a travel trailer sold with a written warranty. What the firm needs: every repair order, including visits where no problem was found; the dates the RV went in and came out of service; the purchase contract; the warranty booklets from both the chassis maker and the coach builder; messages with the dealer or manufacturer; photos of visible defects. ### [Motorcycles](https://rockpointlaw.com/motorcycle-lemon-law/) Questions these cases turn on: - Does the state's lemon law include motorcycles? Some do, like New Jersey; others exclude them, like New York, Florida and Colorado. - If the state law does not apply, has the manufacturer failed to honor its written warranty after fair repair attempts (a Magnuson-Moss claim)? Typical qualifying defects: charging and electrical faults, fuel-delivery and stalling problems, brake and ABS defects, clutch and transmission trouble, and warning lights that keep returning. What the firm needs: the items on the document checklist below; keep every repair order to prove the count. ### Recall-related claims Hub: https://rockpointlaw.com/recalls/ Questions these cases turn on: - Did the recall remedy fail, arrive late or need repeating? A recall alone is not a lemon law case, but it is strong evidence of a known defect. - Does the same problem keep returning after the recall service, or did the repair create new problems? What the firm needs: every repair order, including those for the recall service, plus the items on the document checklist below. ### Vehicle brands As of October 2026, RockPoint Law reviews cases for 2022 and newer vehicles. The brand pages describe each make's common defects as background on known issues, and some of those issues come from earlier model years (for example the PowerShift transmission in the 2011-2016 Focus and Fiesta). The brand-specific questions each page answers: - [Chevrolet](https://rockpointlaw.com/chevy-lemon-law-lawyers/): 5.3L oil burning between changes; 8-speed shudder returning after a fluid change; Bolt days off the road during the recall. - [Ford](https://rockpointlaw.com/ford-lemon-law-lawyers/): PowerShift transmission coverage; EcoBoost misfires the dealer cannot find. - [Jeep](https://rockpointlaw.com/jeep-lemon-law-lawyers/): Wrangler "death wobble" the dealer cannot reproduce; "could not duplicate" on the repair order; Cherokee nine-speed stalling. - [Ram](https://rockpointlaw.com/ram-lemon-law-lawyers/): work trucks titled to a business; diesel derate mode; intermittent eTorque no-starts. - [Tesla](https://rockpointlaw.com/tesla-lemon-law-lawyers/): Tesla sells and services the car itself, so the claim is against Tesla; whether the arbitration clause was opted out of; touchscreen (MCU) failure on older Model S and X; pulling service history from the Tesla app. - [BMW](https://rockpointlaw.com/bmw-lemon-law-lawyers/): N63 oil consumption; when the warranty clock starts on a used BMW; cold-start rattle. - [Mercedes-Benz](https://rockpointlaw.com/mercedes-lemon-law-lawyers/): 9G-Tronic clunks; Airmatic suspension sagging after repairs; how the mileage offset works on a more expensive car. - [Honda](https://rockpointlaw.com/honda-lemon-law-lawyers/): CR-V fuel smell and rising oil level; "no fault found" written three times; Odyssey nine-speed downshifts. - [Nissan](https://rockpointlaw.com/nissan-lemon-law-lawyers/): CVT shudder and whine; repairs under Nissan's extended CVT warranty; emergency braking that activates for no reason. - [Toyota](https://rockpointlaw.com/toyota-lemon-law-lawyers/): whether an otherwise reliable car can be a lemon; fuel pump recall stalling; "no fault found" on a hybrid warning. Asked which manufacturers it handles cases against, RockPoint Law's FAQ answers "All of them." The site's "Manufacturers We've Fought" list runs from Chevrolet, GMC, Ford and Toyota to EV makers such as Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, Polestar and VinFast. ## How a case works 1. Free consultation (about 5 minutes). You describe what has been happening with the vehicle. RockPoint Law reviews it and explains the options, and says it responds to every inquiry within 24 hours ([home page](https://rockpointlaw.com/)). 2. The attorney builds the case. The attorney gathers repair records and warranty information and sets a strategy around the client's goal. A licensed attorney manages the case directly, not a paralegal. 3. Resolution with the manufacturer. The firm deals directly with the manufacturer for a buyback, a replacement or a cash-and-keep settlement. Where a claim is decided depends on the state. Some states send it to a state arbitration board or panel (Florida, Georgia, Washington, Massachusetts and Connecticut, for example), Texas uses a complaint to the Department of Motor Vehicles, and in states with no state board (Virginia, Maryland, Colorado) an unresolved claim goes to court. Manufacturer-run programs such as BBB AUTO LINE are a required first step in some states. What a resolution can look like: - Buyback (repurchase): the manufacturer buys the vehicle back and refunds the client's payments, such as the down payment and monthly payments, minus a usage offset in some states. - Replacement: a comparable vehicle that works. - Cash-and-keep settlement: the client keeps the vehicle and the manufacturer pays for its lost value. Timing, as the site states it ([Lemon law FAQ](https://rockpointlaw.com/faq/)): many cases resolve within a few months, though timelines vary with the manufacturer, the state and how strongly the case is contested. In most cases the client can keep driving the vehicle while the claim moves forward, unless the defect makes it unsafe. ### Document checklist The firm's [document checklist](https://rockpointlaw.com/resources/) ([PDF](https://rockpointlaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/rockpoint-lemon-law-document-checklist.pdf)) asks for: - Repair orders or work orders: every dealership visit, with the date and the exact problem reported. - Purchase or lease agreement: the price, the dates, and proof the vehicle was under warranty. - Warranty booklet: the manufacturer's written warranty terms and coverage period. - Out-of-service records: loaner paperwork or invoices showing the days the car sat at the shop. - Dealer and manufacturer messages: emails, texts or letters about the defect, denials or offers. - Photos or videos of the defect: leaks, warning lights or failures when they happen. Missing a document does not end a case; the firm helps clients reconstruct their files. ## State coverage Lemon law is written state by state, so the deadline, the proof needed and what a client can recover change at the state line. The state that applies is generally where the vehicle was bought or registered. The firm's attorneys are admitted in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Florida, Texas, Missouri and Kansas; claims from other states run under that state's lemon law and the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. Each summary below restates the firm's own state page. Read the page itself for exceptions, deadlines and notice rules. - [New York](https://rockpointlaw.com/lemon-law-attorney-new-york/): New Car Lemon Law, General Business Law section 198-a, for qualifying new and leased vehicles, plus a Used Car Lemon Law at section 198-b. The defect must show up during the warranty period; repeated failed repairs, or roughly 30 or more days out of service, can make the vehicle a lemon. Claims go through New York's arbitration program or a lawsuit. - [New Jersey](https://rockpointlaw.com/lemon-lawyer-in-new-jersey/): N.J.S.A. 56:12-29 et seq. The defect generally must appear within the first two years or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first; the manufacturer often gets at least three attempts at the same defect. The New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs runs a state dispute resolution program. - [Pennsylvania](https://rockpointlaw.com/pennsylvania-lemon-law/): Automobile Lemon Law, 73 P.S. section 1951 and following, for new vehicles bought or leased and registered in Pennsylvania. Coverage runs 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. Three repair attempts at the same defect, or 30 days out of service, can qualify; the manufacturer must get written notice and one last repair attempt. - [Florida](https://rockpointlaw.com/florida-lemon-law-attorney/): Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act, Chapter 681, Florida Statutes. The rights period is 24 months from delivery with no mileage limit. A vehicle qualifies after three repair attempts plus a final attempt following written notice to the manufacturer, or 30 days out of service (60 for an RV). Florida has no separate safety-defect shortcut. If the manufacturer runs a state-certified dispute program, it must be used first; the Florida New Motor Vehicle Arbitration Board, run by the Attorney General, decides the claim. - [Texas](https://rockpointlaw.com/texas-lemon-law-attorney/): Texas Occupations Code Chapter 2301, Subchapter M, run by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles. The window is 24 months or 24,000 miles from original delivery, whichever comes first. A vehicle qualifies after four repair attempts, two for a serious safety hazard, or 30 days out of service. The claim is a complaint to TxDMV with a $35 filing fee, and it must be filed within six months after the earliest of the warranty's expiry, 24 months or 24,000 miles. - [Colorado](https://rockpointlaw.com/colorado-lemon-law-attorney/): Motor Vehicle Warranties statute, C.R.S. sections 42-10-101 through 42-10-110. For vehicles sold or leased on or after August 7, 2024: two years or 24,000 miles, and three repairs, two for a defect that could cause death, serious injury or fire, or 24 business days out of service. Older purchases follow the earlier rule. The manufacturer must first get a certified letter and ten business days. Colorado has no state arbitration board, and the deadline is thirty months from original delivery. - [Connecticut](https://rockpointlaw.com/connecticut-lemon-law-attorney/): Chapter 743b of the General Statutes, sections 42-179 to 42-190. A fault reported within two years or 24,000 miles that survives four repair attempts, or 30 calendar days out of service, qualifies; a fault likely to cause death or serious injury needs only two attempts, but only within the express warranty term or one year after delivery, whichever ends first. An arbitrator appointed by the Department of Consumer Protection decides. - [Delaware](https://rockpointlaw.com/delaware-lemon-law-attorney/): Automobile Warranties chapter, 6 Del. C. sections 5001 to 5009. The fault must be reported during the warranty or within one year of delivery, whichever is earlier, with no mileage limit. Four repair attempts, or more than 30 calendar days out of service, qualify. Delaware runs no arbitration panel of its own. - [Georgia](https://rockpointlaw.com/georgia-lemon-law-attorney/): Georgia Lemon Law, O.C.G.A. sections 10-1-780 through 10-1-798. After written notice and a final repair attempt, the claim goes to state-run arbitration through the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division, with no filing fee. It does not reach used vehicles, motorcycles, golf carts or trucks over 12,000 pounds gross vehicle weight. - [Illinois](https://rockpointlaw.com/illinois-lemon-law/): New Vehicle Buyer Protection Act, 815 ILCS 380. Coverage runs 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. Four repair attempts at the same defect, or 30 business days out of service, qualify, with notice and a final repair chance for the manufacturer. - [Maryland](https://rockpointlaw.com/maryland-lemon-law-attorney/): Automotive Warranty Enforcement Act, Commercial Law sections 14-1501 to 14-1504. The period is the earlier of 24 months from delivery or 18,000 miles. Four repairs, 30 days out of service, or a braking or steering failure that survives one repair and still leaves the car failing Maryland's safety inspection qualify.

It represents people who bought or leased a defective vehicle in claims against the manufacturer for a buyback, a replacement vehicle or a cash settlement. RockPoint Law works in English and Spanish from five offices. #### Who founded RockPoint Law, and who leads it? Steven P. Nassi founded RockPoint Law and is its Founder and Managing Partner. Natalie Nassi is a Managing Partner, and Ron Kaniuk is the Florida Managing Partner. The site states no founding year. #### Where is RockPoint Law located, and which states does it cover? RockPoint Law has offices in Manhasset (NY), Newark (NJ), Philadelphia (PA), Miami (FL) and Dallas (TX). In the site's words: "Attorneys admitted in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Florida, Texas, Missouri and Kansas. Other states' claims run under that state's lemon law and the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, which applies nationwide." #### How do I contact RockPoint Law? Call (516) 550-3323, email info@rockpointlaw.com, or use the message form at https://rockpointlaw.com/contact/. ### Lemon law basics #### What is the lemon law? Lemon laws are consumer-protection statutes. They hold manufacturers accountable when a new vehicle (and in many states a used or leased one) has a defect that substantially impairs its use, value or safety and cannot be fixed after a reasonable number of repair attempts. A qualifying owner may be entitled to a refund, a replacement or a cash settlement, and in most cases the manufacturer must also pay the owner's attorney's fees. #### Is there a federal lemon law? Yes. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act protects consumers nationwide when a manufacturer fails to honor a written warranty. It works alongside the state's lemon law and, like most state statutes, lets the consumer recover legal fees from the manufacturer. #### Does the lemon law apply in my state? Every U.S. state has a lemon law or warranty-enforcement statute, and the Magnuson-Moss Act applies everywhere. How many repair attempts count, the time and mileage limits, and whether used or leased vehicles are covered all vary by state. #### Does it matter which state I file in? Yes. The state where the vehicle was bought or registered sets the deadline, the number of repair attempts that counts and what can be recovered. RockPoint Law starts by confirming which law applies. #### I bought the car in one state and live in another. Which law applies? It depends on the facts. Sometimes the purchase state controls, sometimes the registration state, and occasionally the owner has a choice. RockPoint Law looks at both. ### Do I qualify? #### How many repair attempts does it take before my car is a lemon? There is no single number. A common benchmark is three to four attempts for the same defect, or two for a serious safety defect such as brakes or steering. Many states also qualify a vehicle that has been out of service for a cumulative 30 days or more for warranty repairs. The defect generally must first appear under the manufacturer's warranty. Keep every repair order. #### My vehicle is a few years old but still under warranty. Do I still qualify? Quite possibly. What matters is that the defect first appeared under the manufacturer's warranty and the dealer had a reasonable chance to fix it. Age alone does not disqualify a vehicle. RockPoint Law says claims most often fall short because the owner waited until the warranty had expired before reporting the problem. #### Can a used car be a lemon? Often, yes, especially if the original manufacturer's warranty or a qualifying certified pre-owned or dealer warranty still covers it. Some states have used-car lemon laws. The key question is whether a written warranty was in effect when the defect appeared. #### Can a leased vehicle qualify? Yes. Leased vehicles are covered by lemon laws and the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act like purchased vehicles, as long as the vehicle is under the manufacturer's warranty. #### What if my vehicle has high mileage? High mileage does not automatically disqualify a vehicle. What matters is that the defect started under warranty and was reported and repaired in time. Some state statutes have mileage thresholds; federal law has no hard mileage cap. #### The dealer says the problem is fixed. Can I still have a case? Yes. A repair that does not last is not a fix. A check engine light that returns, a transmission that slips again or an electrical fault that reappears after several visits is the pattern lemon laws address. #### Is there a deadline to file? Yes. Every state has a statute of limitations, and warranty claims have their own time limits. Waiting too long is one of the most common reasons a valid claim can no longer be pursued. #### My state doesn't have its own page on this site. Can the firm still help? Yes. RockPoint Law says the lack of a state page does not mean it cannot take the case; other states' claims run under that state's lemon law and the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. ### Cost and compensation #### How much does it cost to hire a lemon law attorney? In most cases nothing out of pocket. RockPoint Law works on a contingency basis, and lemon laws contain fee-shifting provisions, so the manufacturer is typically responsible for attorney's fees when the case succeeds. There are no hourly bills and no upfront costs. Fee footnote, verbatim from the site (its inner quotation marks shown as single quotes): "'No cost to you' and similar statements refer to attorneys' fees. Clients may be responsible for certain costs and expenses incurred in the course of litigation, which may be deducted from any recovery. The manufacturer generally pays attorneys' fees and costs in lemon law matters under applicable fee-shifting statutes or negotiations. Fee terms are set forth in each client's written fee agreement." #### What can I recover: a refund, a replacement or cash? It depends on the state and the facts. The usual outcomes are a buyback (the manufacturer refunds what was paid, minus a usage offset), a replacement vehicle, or a cash-and-keep settlement in which the owner keeps the car and is paid for its lost value. #### What can I be reimbursed for? Reimbursement may include the down payment, monthly payments, repair-related expenses and other qualifying costs. #### How much is my lemon worth? RockPoint Law says it cannot promise a number. Value depends on the vehicle's price, how much has been paid, the type of defect, the state's law, and whether the owner pursues a buyback or a cash settlement. The manufacturer typically also covers legal fees (see the fee footnote under Key facts). ### The process and timeline #### How long does a lemon law case take? Many cases resolve within a few months. Timelines vary with the manufacturer, the state and how strongly the case is contested; complex disputes can take longer. #### What documents do I need? Repair orders (every visit, with dates and the complaint described), the purchase or lease agreement and the warranty booklet. Messages with the dealer or manufacturer and records of shop time also help. #### Do I have to stop driving my car? Usually not, unless the defect makes it unsafe to operate. #### The manufacturer denied my claim or offered an extended warranty. Now what? A denial is not the end, and an extended warranty is rarely full compensation for a defective vehicle. Have the offer reviewed before signing anything or letting a deadline pass. #### The dealer offered me a low trade-in. Should I take it? Be cautious. A low trade-in or buyback offer from the dealer is often far less than what the lemon law may provide, and trading the vehicle in may give up the claim. ### Common situations #### My vehicle has a recall. Is that the same as a lemon? Not exactly, but the two can overlap. A recall means the manufacturer has acknowledged a defect and must repair it for free. If the recall repair is delayed, repeated or fails, there may be a lemon law claim on top of the recall. #### How is a lemon law claim different from filing a complaint with NHTSA? A report to NHTSA helps regulators track safety trends but does not compensate the owner. RockPoint Law pursues the owner's own claim against the manufacturer under state and federal lemon law and warranty statutes. #### My check engine light keeps coming back. Is that a lemon? It can be. RockPoint Law says a recurring check engine light is its single most common complaint from consumers. If the light keeps returning after several repair visits, that repeat-repair pattern is a classic lemon law fact pattern. #### Which manufacturers does RockPoint Law handle cases against? RockPoint Law's FAQ says all of them, including Chevrolet, GMC, Ford, Jeep, Ram, Dodge, Chrysler, Hyundai, Kia, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Volkswagen, Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Tesla. #### Does RockPoint Law work in Spanish? Yes, hablamos español. RockPoint Law can handle an entire case in Spanish, from the first call to the final settlement. ## Results The [settlements page](https://rockpointlaw.com/settlements/) publishes 24 settlements from cases the firm has handled, from $25,000 to $160,264.
