Knoxville Lemon Law Attorneys Helping Drivers Resolve Defective Vehicle Claims

The Knoxville Lemon Law provides strong protection for consumers who buy or lease new vehicles that fail to meet quality and safety standards. If your vehicle keeps breaking down or has ongoing issues, you may be entitled to:

• A replacement vehicle of comparable value
• A full refund, including taxes, title, and registration
• A financial settlement for diminished value or inconvenience
• Attorney’s fees covered by the manufacturer if your claim is successful

You pay nothing upfront — the manufacturer is responsible for legal fees when you win.

Knoxville Lemon Law applies to:

• New and leased passenger vehicles purchased or registered in Tennessee
• Cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans for personal or family use
• Claims filed within 1 year of purchase or before the vehicle reaches the term of the warranty, whichever comes first
• Vehicles with 4 or more failed repair attempts or 30+ total days in the repair shop
• Certain small business vehicles meeting Tennessee Lemon Law requirements

Not Covered: Used “as-is” vehicles, off-road or commercial vehicles, or those significantly modified after purchase.

You may qualify if:

• The defect affects your vehicle’s use, safety, or market value
• The manufacturer or dealer made 4 or more repair attempts for the same problem
• Your vehicle was out of service for 30 or more cumulative days
• The defect appeared within the manufacturer’s warranty period or the first year after purchase

Our Knoxville legal team will review your repair history and determine eligibility — free of charge.

Frequent defects that may qualify include:

• Engine failure, stalling, or overheating
• Transmission shifting problems or failure
• Steering or brake malfunctions
• Electrical issues (battery, dashboard lights, sensors)
• Air conditioning or heating not working properly
• Persistent leaks or unusual noises

If your vehicle has one or more of these ongoing issues despite repeated repair attempts, you may have a valid Lemon Law claim under Tennessee law.

Tennessee’s Lemon Law primarily covers new vehicles, but used car buyers may have protections under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act or dealer warranty laws if:

• The used car came with a written warranty or service contract
• The dealer failed to repair the defect within a reasonable time
• The problem occurred during the warranty period
