Lafayette Lemon Law Attorneys Helping Louisiana Drivers Get Justice

The Lafayette Lemon Law exists to ensure drivers aren’t left stuck with unreliable vehicles. If your car keeps having the same issues, you may qualify for:

• A refund of payments, taxes, and registration fees
• A replacement vehicle of equal value
• A cash settlement for your inconvenience and loss in value
• Attorney’s fees covered by the manufacturer if your case succeeds

You don’t pay unless we win your case — risk-free representation.

The Louisiana Lemon Law applies to:

• New passenger cars, SUVs, trucks, and vans under warranty
• Leased vehicles still covered by the manufacturer’s warranty
• Vehicles with defects that appear within 1 year or 12,000 miles
• Some commercial vehicles that meet Louisiana’s weight and use limits

Excludes “as-is” used cars, RVs, motorcycles, or altered vehicles.

You may be eligible if:

• The defect affects your vehicle’s safety, performance, or value
• The dealer made 4 or more repair attempts for the same issue
• The car was out of service for 45 or more total days
• The issue occurred during the warranty coverage
• You filed your claim within Louisiana’s Lemon Law deadline

Keep all repair receipts and records — they’re key to proving your claim.

The Louisiana Lemon Law often covers recurring problems like:

• Engine stalling, knocking, or failure to start
• Transmission slipping or rough shifting
• Brake or steering system defects
• Faulty electrical or computer systems
• AC not cooling properly (especially during Louisiana’s heat)
• Repeated dashboard warning lights
• Safety system malfunctions (airbags, sensors, etc.)

If your car has been in the shop too many times, you may own a lemon.

Certain used cars can still qualify under the Louisiana Lemon Law if:

• The defect appeared within 12 months or 12,000 miles
• The original manufacturer’s warranty is still active
• The manufacturer or dealer failed to repair the issue after fair attempts
