Lemon Laws

Which vehicles the California lemon law covers, the repair history that triggers the statutory presumption, and what a manufacturer owes when it buys a vehicle back.

How Chapter 681 of the Florida Statutes works: which vehicles qualify, the 24-month rights period, the three-attempt and 30-day tests, the written notice to the manufacturer, how the refund is calculated, and the arbitration board deadlines.

The Texas lemon law lets an owner ask the state to order a refund or a replacement when a warranted defect survives repeated repair attempts. Here are the qualifying tests, the deadlines, and the limits on what an order can award.

The Georgia Lemon Law gives owners of defective new vehicles a path to a refund or a replacement: a 24-month or 24,000-mile rights period, a set number of repair attempts, a written final repair notice, and free state-operated arbitration.

Whether the California lemon law reaches a used car turns on the warranty, not the odometer. How the Song-Beverly Act treats factory-warranty balances, certified pre-owned coverage, dealer warranties, and “as is” sales.

How a new vehicle qualifies as a lemon in Ohio: the one-year/18,000-mile protection period, the four repair-attempt presumptions, what a full refund includes, and the arbitration and five-year filing rules.
