Miami Lemon Law ensures drivers don’t get stuck with unreliable vehicles that can’t be repaired under warranty.
By law, manufacturers must repair, replace, or repurchase defective vehicles. In some cases, they may also owe additional compensation. Understanding Miami Lemon Law
The Miami Lemon Law was designed to protect consumers from cars that won’t stay fixed. If your new or leased vehicle keeps experiencing defects that impact its safety, performance, or value, you may qualify for:
- A replacement vehicle of similar value
- A full refund of your purchase price, including taxes and fees
- A cash settlement for reduced value
- Attorney’s fees covered by the manufacturer if you win
No upfront costs. No hidden fees.
What Vehicles Are Covered?
Miami Lemon Law protections apply to:
- Newly purchased or leased vehicles for personal use
- Cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and motorcycles
- Claims made within 24 months of delivery (Florida-specific)
- Vehicles with repeated unsuccessful repair attempts or 15+ days out of service
- Certain small business vehicles under 10,000 lbs.
Not Covered: Used cars sold “as-is,” off-road vehicles, or heavily modified cars.
Do I Qualify for a Miami Lemon Law Claim?
You may qualify if:
- The defect affects your vehicle’s use, value, or safety
- The manufacturer or dealer attempted repairs at least 3 times
- Your vehicle has been unusable for 15+ days
- You file within Florida’s 24-month Lemon Law rights period

Common Defects Covered by Miami Lemon Law
Recurring defects that often qualify include:
• Engine stalling, overheating, or sudden power loss
• Brake or steering malfunctions
• Electrical issues (battery, dashboard lights, wiring)
