Clarksville Lemon Law protects Tennessee consumers from being stuck with unsafe or defective vehicles.
If your vehicle continues to malfunction after multiple repair attempts, the manufacturer may be legally required to replace or repurchase it — usually at no cost to you. Understanding Clarksville Lemon Law
The Clarksville Lemon Law gives consumers the right to pursue relief when a new or leased vehicle fails to perform as promised. If your car keeps breaking down or has recurring defects, you may be entitled to:
- A comparable replacement vehicle
- A full refund, including taxes, registration, and title fees
- A financial settlement for lost value or inconvenience
- Attorney’s fees paid by the manufacturer upon success
You don’t pay any legal fees — the manufacturer covers them when your claim is resolved.
What Vehicles Are Covered?
Clarksville Lemon Law applies to:
- New and leased passenger vehicles purchased or registered in Tennessee
- Cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans used for personal or household purposes
- Claims filed within 1 year of purchase or during the vehicle’s warranty period
- Vehicles with 4 or more unsuccessful repair attempts or 30+ total days in the shop
- Certain small business vehicles that meet Tennessee Lemon Law criteria
Not Covered: Used “as-is” cars, off-road vehicles, or vehicles heavily modified after purchase.
Do I Qualify for a Clarksville Lemon Law Claim?
You may qualify if:
- The issue affects your vehicle’s use, safety, or resale value
- The same problem required 4 or more repair visits
- The vehicle was out of service for 30 or more total days
- The defect appeared within the manufacturer’s warranty period or within the first year of ownership

Common Defects Under Clarksville Lemon Law
Common issues that may qualify under Tennessee Lemon Law include:
- Engine stalling, failure to start, or overheating
- Transmission slipping or rough shifting
- Brake or steering malfunctions
- Electrical failures (dashboard lights, wiring, or sensors)
- Air conditioning or heating not functioning properly

If your car continues to experience these problems after multiple repair attempts, it could be considered a lemon under Tennessee law.
Clarksville Lemon Law and Used Cars
Tennessee’s Lemon Law mainly protects new vehicles, but used car owners may still have recourse under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act or dealer warranty laws if:
- The car was sold with a written warranty or service contract
- The defect appeared within the warranty period
- The dealer failed to fix the issue after a reasonable number of attempts
