Sterling Heights Lemon Law Attorneys Protecting Drivers with Defective Vehicles

The Sterling Heights Lemon Law was created to protect drivers who purchase or lease vehicles that fail to meet expected quality standards. If your car has ongoing issues that affect safety, performance, or value, you may be eligible for:

• A replacement vehicle of equal value
• A full refund including taxes, fees, and registration costs
• A settlement for loss in value
• Attorney’s fees covered by the manufacturer if your case is successful

You pay nothing upfront or out of pocket.

Sterling Heights Lemon Law protections include:

• New or leased vehicles used for personal or family purposes
• Cars, SUVs, trucks, vans, and some RVs
• Claims made within 1 year of delivery or before the manufacturer’s warranty expires (Michigan requirement)
• Vehicles that have been in repair 4 or more times for the same issue or out of service 30+ days
• Certain small business vehicles under Michigan’s weight limits

Not Covered: As-is used vehicles, off-road vehicles, or those heavily modified after purchase.

You may qualify if:

• The defect affects your vehicle’s use, safety, or value
• The dealer or manufacturer has made 4 or more attempts to repair the same issue
• Your vehicle was out of service for 30 or more cumulative days
• The issue occurred within the first year of delivery or during warranty coverage

Frequent problems that qualify under the Michigan Lemon Law include:

• Common recurring issues that may qualify include:
• Engine problems (stalling, overheating, loss of power)
• Transmission issues (slipping, jerking, rough shifting)
• Steering or brake malfunctions
• Electrical system failures (battery drain, dashboard lights, wiring)
• HVAC system defects (heating or air conditioning not working)
• Leaks involving oil, fuel, or coolant

If your vehicle still has these issues after several repair attempts, it may be considered a lemon under Michigan law.

Michigan Lemon Law mainly applies to new vehicles, but some used vehicles may qualify if:

• The original manufacturer’s warranty is still active
• The defect appeared within the first year or warranty period
• The manufacturer was unable to fix the problem after reasonable attempts
