Auburn Lemon Law Attorneys Standing Up for Drivers with Defective Cars

The Auburn Lemon Law protects drivers from cars that fail to perform as promised. If your new or leased car keeps breaking down in ways that affect its safety, performance, or resale value, you may qualify for:

• A replacement vehicle of equal value
• A full refund including purchase price, taxes, and registration
• A financial settlement for reduced value
• Attorney’s fees paid by the manufacturer if you win

No out-of-pocket expenses for you.

Auburn Lemon Law applies to:

• New or leased vehicles for personal use
• Cars, SUVs, trucks, vans, and motorcycles
• Claims filed within 24 months of delivery or before 24,000 miles (Maine law)
• Vehicles with multiple failed repair attempts or 30+ days out of service
• Certain small business vehicles under Maine’s weight limits

Not Covered: Used vehicles sold “as-is,” off-road vehicles, or those that have been extensively modified.

You may qualify if:

• The defect impacts your vehicle’s use, safety, or value
• The dealer or manufacturer attempted repairs at least 3 times
• Your car has been unusable for 30+ cumulative days
• You reported the defect within Maine’s 24-month / 24,000-mile period

Common problems that may qualify under Maine Lemon Law include:

• Engine overheating, stalling, or sudden power loss
• Brake or steering system failures
• Electrical malfunctions (battery, wiring, dashboard lights)
• HVAC system breakdowns (heating or A/C)
• Transmission slipping, hard shifting, or hesitation
• Persistent fluid leaks (oil, fuel, coolant)

If these issues keep returning despite repairs, your car may legally qualify as a lemon.

Maine Lemon Law generally covers new vehicles, but some used cars may qualify if:

• The original manufacturer’s warranty is still active
• The issue occurred within the 24-month / 24,000-mile limit
• The manufacturer had an opportunity to fix the issue but failed
