New Orleans Lemon Law Attorneys Protecting Louisiana Drivers

The New Orleans Lemon Law was created to ensure drivers aren’t forced to keep faulty vehicles. If your car has repeated mechanical issues that dealers can’t fix, you could be eligible for:

• A refund for payments, taxes, and fees
• A replacement vehicle of equal value
• A cash settlement for reduced resale value or inconvenience
• Attorney’s fees covered by the manufacturer if your claim succeeds

You pay nothing out-of-pocket — legal fees are covered if we win your case.

The Louisiana Lemon Law applies to:

• New passenger cars, SUVs, pickup trucks, and vans
• Leased vehicles under the original manufacturer’s warranty
• Defects appearing within 1 year or 12,000 miles (whichever occurs first)
• Certain commercial vehicles under weight restrictions

Not covered: “as-is” used vehicles, motorcycles, RVs, or vehicles modified after purchase

You may be eligible if:

• The defect affects your vehicle’s use, safety, or market value
• The dealer or manufacturer has made 4+ unsuccessful repair attempts
• Your vehicle has been out of service for 45+ cumulative days
• The issue occurred during the warranty coverage period
• You filed your claim within the Louisiana Lemon Law time limit

Keep detailed records of all repair visits, invoices, and communication — they strengthen your case.

Frequent issues that qualify under the Louisiana Lemon Law include:

• Engine stalling, overheating, or failing to start
• Transmission slipping, jerking, or total failure
• Electrical system malfunctions (battery, lights, or dashboard errors)
• Brake system failures or recurring squeaks
• Steering or suspension defects causing unsafe handling
• Faulty AC or heating — crucial for Louisiana’s humid climate
• Water leaks or warning light issues

If these problems keep returning, your vehicle may be a lemon.

The Louisiana Lemon Law may cover some used vehicles if:

• They remain under the manufacturer’s original warranty
• The defect appeared within 12 months or 12,000 miles
• The manufacturer had a fair opportunity to repair it
