Bozeman Lemon Law ensures that Montana drivers aren’t stuck with vehicles that can’t be properly repaired.
Under state law, manufacturers must fix, replace, or buy back defective vehicles — and in some cases, provide additional compensation to the owner. Understanding Bozeman Lemon Law
The Bozeman Lemon Law protects consumers from owning unreliable or unsafe vehicles that fail to meet expected standards. If your new or leased car keeps having recurring mechanical or electrical issues, you may qualify for:
- A comparable replacement vehicle
- A full refund including taxes, title, and registration
- A cash settlement for loss in value
- Attorney’s fees paid by the manufacturer if you win your case
You never pay anything out of pocket.
What Vehicles Are Covered?
Bozeman Lemon Law protections include:
- New and leased vehicles used for personal, family, or household purposes
- Cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and motorcycles
- Claims filed within 2 years of purchase or during the manufacturer’s warranty period (Montana-specific rule)
- Vehicles with 4 or more unsuccessful repair attempts or 30+ days out of service
- Certain small business or agricultural vehicles within state weight limits
Not Covered: “As-is” used vehicles, off-road vehicles, or cars heavily modified after purchase.
Do I Qualify for a Bozeman Lemon Law Claim?
You may qualify if:
- The defect affects the vehicle’s safety, value, or use
- The same problem has been repaired 4 or more times without success
- The car has been out of service for 30+ cumulative days
- The issue occurred within 2 years or while under the manufacturer’s warranty
