If you’ve purchased or leased a defective vehicle in Mississippi, Mississippi Lemon Law provides protection.

If a defect prevents your vehicle from functioning properly and cannot be fixed after multiple repair attempts, you are entitled to compensation, including replacement, refund, or cash settlement.

Your Rights Under Mississippi Lemon Law

Under Mississippi Lemon Law, if your vehicle has a defect that affects its safety, value, or use, and the defect remains unresolved after multiple attempts, you are entitled to:

  • Replacement: A new vehicle of the same make and model.
  • Repurchase: A full refund, including taxes and fees, minus a mileage deduction.
  • Cash Settlement: Compensation for the defect’s impact, with potential civil penalties up to three times the original amount.

Additionally, Mississippi Lemon Law ensures that attorney fees are covered, so you won’t have to worry about extra legal costs.

What Vehicles Are Covered by Mississippi Lemon Law?

Mississippi Lemon Law applies to:

  • New and certified pre-owned vehicles under the manufacturer’s warranty.
  • Used vehicles with remaining factory warranties.
  • Vehicles such as cars, trucks, motorcycles, SUVs, RVs, and certain business vehicles (under 10,000 lbs).

Exclusions may apply for minor defects or issues caused by misuse, neglect, or unauthorized modifications.

How to Qualify for Mississippi Lemon Law?

To qualify for Mississippi Lemon Law, the defect must:

  • Impair the vehicle’s use, market value, or safety, arising within the express warranty or the first 1 year after original delivery, whichever ends earlier (Miss. Code Ann. § 63-17-159(3)).
  • Survive a reasonable number of repair attempts. Mississippi presumes that standard is met when the same defect has been repaired 3 or more times, or the vehicle has been out of service 15 or more working days — one of the shortest out-of-service thresholds in the country (§ 63-17-159(3)).
  • If a refund is due, Mississippi calculates your use deduction as a flat 20 cents per mile driven, rather than a mileage-fraction formula most states use.
  • A lawsuit must be filed within 1 year after the warranty expires, or 18 months after original delivery — whichever is earlier (§ 63-17-159(6)).

Types of Defects Covered by Mississippi Lemon Law

Mississippi Lemon Law covers a variety of defects that interfere with the operation, safety, or value of your vehicle, such as:

  • Engine failure
  • Transmission issues
  • Electrical system malfunctions
  • Faulty brakes
  • Airbag failure
  • Steering or suspension defects

These defects must persist despite multiple repair attempts and be covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.

Lemon Law for Used Cars in Mississippi

Mississippi Lemon Law applies to used vehicles under the following conditions:

  • The defect must still be covered by the original manufacturer’s warranty.
  • The defect must affect the vehicle’s safety, value, or use.
  • The defect must remain unresolved after reasonable repair attempts.

If your used vehicle qualifies, we’ll help you secure compensation for your loss.

FAQs

FAQ Icon
How do I check if my vehicle qualifies under Mississippi lemon law?

Your vehicle qualifies if it’s a new motor vehicle sold in Mississippi with a manufacturer’s warranty, used for personal/family purposes, and has a defect substantially impairing use, value, or safety. The defect must remain unfixed after 3+ repair attempts for the same problem OR 15+ working days out of service within the warranty term or 1 year from delivery (whichever is earlier).

What documents Mississippi attorneys require for a lemon claim?

You need all detailed repair orders documenting each attempt with dates and descriptions, original purchase or lease agreement, manufacturer’s express warranty documents, written notification sent to manufacturer via certified mail, out-of-service calendar showing 15+ working days, and receipts for collateral charges like towing, rental cars, dealer prep, and other related expenses.

What are Mississippi lemon law filing deadlines and statutes of limitations?

You must file a lawsuit within 18 months from the original delivery date OR 1 year after the express warranty expires (whichever is earlier). If you use the manufacturer’s informal dispute settlement procedure, you have 90 days after the final decision to file a lawsuit. Defects must be reported during the warranty term or within 1 year of delivery.

How many repair attempts Mississippi law considers reasonable?

Mississippi presumes reasonable repair attempts after 3 or more repair attempts for substantially the same nonconformity OR 15 or more cumulative working days out of service for repairs, within the warranty term or 1 year from delivery (whichever is earlier). The manufacturer gets a final 10 working days to repair after written notification.

What remedies Mississippi courts award for lemon law cases refund or replacement or cash settlement details?

You can choose either a full refund (purchase price + taxes, registration, fees, accessories, plus collateral charges like towing/rental) OR a comparable replacement vehicle (identical or reasonably equivalent). Both options require deducting a reasonable use allowance (20 cents per mile driven). Courts may also award attorney’s fees, and some cases settle for cash-and-keep diminished value payments.
