Austin Lemon Law Attorneys Protecting Texas Drivers from Defective Vehicles

The Austin Lemon Law gives buyers and lessees of new vehicles strong legal protections. If your vehicle continues to have serious problems, you may qualify for:

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

You pay nothing out of pocket — the manufacturer covers all legal costs when you win.

Austin Lemon Law applies to:

• New or leased vehicles purchased or registered in Texas
• Cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans for personal or household use
• Claims within 24 months or 24,000 miles (whichever comes first)
• Vehicles that have 4+ repair attempts or 30+ days out of service
• Some small business vehicles that meet Texas Lemon Law criteria

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

You may be eligible if:

• The defect impacts your vehicle’s use, safety, or resale value
• The manufacturer or dealer made 4 or more repair attempts for the same issue
• The vehicle was in the shop 30+ cumulative days
• The issue appeared during the manufacturer’s warranty or within 24 months/24,000 miles

Our Austin Lemon Law attorneys will review your records and confirm your eligibility — at no cost to you.

Frequent defects that may qualify include:

• Engine stalling, overheating, or failure to start
• Transmission slipping, jerking, or hard shifting
• Steering or braking issues
• Electrical malfunctions or dashboard light errors
• Faulty air conditioning or heating
• Unusual noises, leaks, or vibrations

If the same issue keeps recurring, your vehicle may qualify as a lemon under Texas law.

Texas Lemon Law mainly applies to new vehicles, but used cars may be covered under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act or a dealer warranty if:

• The used car was sold with a written warranty or service contract
• The defect occurred within that warranty period
• The dealer failed to repair the issue after multiple attempts
