Lexington Lemon Law Attorneys Helping Drivers with Defective Vehicles

The Lexington Lemon Law exists to safeguard drivers who end up with cars that don’t perform as promised. If your new or leased vehicle keeps having serious defects affecting safety, use, or value, you may qualify for:

• A replacement vehicle of equal value
• A full refund including taxes and registration fees
• A cash settlement for diminished value
• Attorney’s fees paid by the manufacturer if you win your case

You pay nothing out of pocket.

Lexington Lemon Law applies to:

• New or leased vehicles used for personal or family purposes
• Cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and some recreational vehicles
• Claims filed within 1 year of delivery or before the first warranty expires (Kentucky-specific rule)
• Vehicles with the same defect repaired 4 or more times or out of service 30 or more days
• Certain small business vehicles under Kentucky weight restrictions

Not Covered: Used cars sold “as-is,” off-road vehicles, or those modified beyond manufacturer specifications.

You may qualify if:

• The defect substantially affects safety, value, or usability
• The manufacturer or dealer made 4+ repair attempts for the same issue
• The vehicle was in repair for 30+ cumulative days
• The issue occurred within the first year or during the warranty period

Recurring vehicle problems that may qualify include:

• Engine or transmission failure
• Electrical or computer malfunctions
• Brake or steering defects
• Faulty air conditioning or heating systems
• Repeated warning lights or sensor errors
• Safety issues (airbags, seatbelts, ABS)
• Water leaks or structural problems

If your vehicle keeps breaking down despite repairs, it might be a lemon.

Kentucky Lemon Law primarily protects new vehicles, but some used vehicles may be eligible if:

• The original manufacturer’s warranty is still active
• The defect appeared within the warranty or one-year period
• The manufacturer had an opportunity to repair the defect but didn’t fix it

Check if your used vehicle qualifies — it’s quick, free, and confidential.
