Bloomington Lemon Law ensures that consumers aren’t left with vehicles that can’t be properly repaired.
Minnesota law requires manufacturers to fix, replace, or repurchase defective vehicles — and in many cases, pay additional compensation. Understanding Bloomington Lemon Law
The Bloomington Lemon Law protects Minnesota consumers who purchase or lease vehicles that fail to meet expected safety and reliability standards. If your car keeps having mechanical or performance issues that reduce its value or usability, you may qualify for:
- A comparable replacement vehicle
- A full refund including taxes, title, and registration fees
- A cash settlement for diminished value
- Attorney’s fees covered by the manufacturer if your claim is successful
You never pay out of pocket for legal fees.
What Vehicles Are Covered?
Bloomington Lemon Law protections apply to:
- New and leased vehicles for personal or household use
- Cars, trucks, vans, SUVs, and motorcycles
- Claims filed within 2 years of delivery or during the manufacturer’s express warranty period (Minnesota-specific rule)
- Vehicles that required 4 or more repair attempts or were out of service 30+ days for the same issue
- Certain small business vehicles within the state’s weight limits
Not Covered: Used vehicles sold “as-is,” off-road vehicles, or extensively modified cars.
Do I Qualify for a Bloomington Lemon Law Claim?
You may qualify if:
- The defect affects your car’s safety, performance, or resale value
- The manufacturer or dealer made 4 or more repair attempts for the same issue
- The car was unavailable for use for 30+ days due to repairs
