Las Cruces Lemon Law Attorneys Helping Drivers Get Compensation for Defective Vehicles

The Las Cruces Lemon Law provides powerful consumer protection for drivers who buy or lease new vehicles that turn out to be defective. If your car has ongoing issues affecting its safety, performance, or value, you may be entitled to:

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

No out-of-pocket expenses or hidden costs.

Las Cruces Lemon Law covers:

• New or leased passenger vehicles purchased or registered in New Mexico
• Cars, SUVs, trucks, and vans used for personal or household purposes
• Claims filed within 1 year of vehicle delivery or before the manufacturer’s express warranty expires
• Vehicles with 4 or more unsuccessful repair attempts or 30+ total days out of service
• Certain small business vehicles that meet state-defined criteria

Not Covered: Used “as-is” vehicles, off-road vehicles, or cars that have been significantly modified.

You may qualify if:

• The defect affects your vehicle’s safety, use, or resale value
• The dealer or manufacturer made 4 or more unsuccessful repair attempts
• The vehicle has been in the shop for 30+ cumulative days
• You reported the issue within 1 year of delivery or while under warranty

Not sure? Our legal team will review your records at no cost to confirm your eligibility.

Frequent defects that may qualify include:

• Engine stalling, power loss, or overheating
• Transmission failure or harsh shifting
• Steering or brake system malfunctions
• Electrical issues (dashboard lights, battery, sensors)
• Heating or air conditioning system breakdowns
• Persistent leaks (oil, coolant, or transmission fluid)

If your vehicle keeps having these problems despite repairs, you may be driving a lemon under New Mexico law.

While the New Mexico Lemon Law mainly protects new vehicles, some used cars may still qualify if:

• The original manufacturer’s warranty is still active
• The defect occurred within 1 year of delivery
• The manufacturer failed to repair the issue after reasonable attempts
