Bridgeport Lemon Law ensures Connecticut consumers don’t get stuck with defective vehicles that can’t be repaired.
State law requires manufacturers to fix, replace, or buy back vehicles that fail to meet warranty standards after reasonable repair attempts. Understanding Bridgeport Lemon Law
The Bridgeport Lemon Law was created to protect Connecticut drivers who purchase or lease vehicles that fail to perform as promised. If your new or leased car keeps breaking down or losing value, you may be entitled to:
- A replacement vehicle of comparable value
- A full refund including taxes, title, and registration
- A settlement for diminished value or ongoing inconvenience
- Attorney’s fees covered by the manufacturer if you win your claim
You pay nothing upfront — ever.
What Vehicles Are Covered?
Bridgeport Lemon Law protections cover:
- New and leased vehicles primarily used for personal or household purposes
- Cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and motorcycles
- Claims made within 1 year of delivery or during the manufacturer’s warranty period
- Vehicles that required 4 or more repair attempts for the same defect or have been out of service 30+ total days
- Certain small business or fleet vehicles meeting Connecticut’s requirements
Not Covered: “As-is” used cars, off-road vehicles, or modified vehicles.
Do I Qualify for a Bridgeport Lemon Law Claim?
You may qualify if:
- The defect impacts your vehicle’s safety, use, or value
- The same issue was repaired 4 or more times without success
- The car has been out of service for 30 or more days
- The problem occurred within 1 year or the warranty period
