Rochester Lemon Law Attorneys Standing Up for Drivers with Defective Vehicles

The Rochester Lemon Law was designed to help consumers who unknowingly purchase vehicles that don’t meet basic quality and safety expectations. If your new or leased vehicle repeatedly breaks down or loses value because of recurring defects, you may qualify for:

• A comparable replacement vehicle
• A full refund including taxes, title, and registration fees
• A financial settlement for loss in value
• Attorney’s fees covered by the manufacturer if you win

No upfront or out-of-pocket expenses for you.

Rochester Lemon Law protections apply to:

• New and leased vehicles for personal or household use
• Cars, trucks, vans, SUVs, and motorcycles
• Claims made within 2 years of purchase or during the manufacturer’s warranty (Minnesota-specific guideline)
• Vehicles that have undergone 4 or more repair attempts for the same issue, or been out of service for 30+ days
• Certain small business vehicles within state weight limits

Not Covered: “As-is” used vehicles, off-road vehicles, or cars significantly modified after purchase.

You may qualify if:

• The defect affects your vehicle’s safety, performance, or resale value
• The same issue was repaired 4 or more times without success
• The vehicle was in the shop for 30+ total days
• The problem occurred within the first 2 years or warranty period

Frequent problems that may qualify under Minnesota Lemon Law include:

• Engine stalling, overheating, or failure to start
• Transmission slipping, jerking, or gear issues
• Steering or brake malfunctions
• Electrical defects (dashboard lights, power systems, battery)
• Heating or air conditioning not working properly
• Persistent leaks (oil, coolant, or fuel)

If you’ve had repeated repair attempts without a lasting fix, your vehicle could be a lemon.

While Minnesota Lemon Law primarily covers new vehicles, some used cars may qualify if:

• The original manufacturer’s warranty is still active
• The defect appeared during the first 2 years or warranty period
• The manufacturer had an opportunity to repair the issue but failed
