Derry Lemon Law Attorneys Helping Drivers Get Justice for Defective Vehicles

The Derry Lemon Law is designed to protect consumers who unknowingly purchase or lease defective vehicles. If your car, truck, or SUV has recurring problems affecting safety, reliability, or value, you may be entitled to:

• A replacement vehicle of equal value
• A full refund, including taxes, title, and registration
• A financial settlement for diminished value
• Attorney’s fees paid by the manufacturer if your case succeeds

No out-of-pocket costs — ever.

Derry Lemon Law applies to:

• New or leased vehicles purchased or registered in New Hampshire
• Passenger cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans used for personal or household use
• Claims made within 2 years of purchase or before the manufacturer’s express warranty expires
• Vehicles with 3 or more failed repair attempts or 30+ total days in the shop
• Some small business vehicles meeting New Hampshire’s legal criteria

Not Covered: Used “as-is” vehicles, off-road vehicles, or heavily modified cars.

You may qualify if:

• The defect affects your vehicle’s safety, use, or resale value
• The same problem was repaired 3 or more times without resolution
• Your car has been out of service for 30+ cumulative days
• You reported the issue within 2 years or while the warranty was active

Common issues that often qualify include:

• Engine failure, stalling, or overheating
• Transmission slipping or rough shifting
• Brake or steering problems
• Electrical malfunctions (dashboard lights, power issues, wiring faults)
• A/C or heating system breakdowns
• Repeated leaks (oil, coolant, or transmission fluid)

If your car keeps returning to the dealership for the same issues, you may have a valid Lemon Law claim.

While New Hampshire Lemon Law primarily protects new vehicles, some used cars may also qualify if:

• The defect appeared while the original manufacturer’s warranty was still valid
• The issue occurred within 2 years of purchase
• The manufacturer had a fair opportunity to repair the defect but failed
