Jacksonville Lemon Law protects consumers from being stuck with faulty vehicles that can’t be fixed under warranty.
Florida law requires manufacturers to repair, repurchase, or replace defective vehicles. In some cases, they may also be required to pay additional penalties. Understanding Jacksonville Lemon Law
The Jacksonville Lemon Law ensures drivers aren’t left with unreliable cars. If your new or leased vehicle has ongoing defects that affect safety, performance, or value, you may be eligible for:
- A replacement vehicle of equal value
- A complete refund, including taxes and fees
- A cash settlement for reduced value
- Coverage of attorney’s fees by the manufacturer if your case succeeds
No upfront costs — only results.
What Vehicles Are Covered?
Jacksonville Lemon Law typically applies to:
- New passenger vehicles (purchased or leased) for personal use
- Cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and motorcycles
- Claims made within 24 months of the vehicle’s delivery date (Florida-specific window)
- Vehicles with repeated repair attempts or more than 15 days in the shop
- Certain business-use vehicles under 10,000 lbs.
Not Covered: Commercial vehicles, off-road vehicles, or used cars sold “as-is” without warranty.
Do I Qualify for a Jacksonville Lemon Law Claim?
You may qualify if:
- The defect impacts the car’s use, value, or safety
- The manufacturer or dealer attempted at least 3 repairs
- Your vehicle has been unusable for 15 or more days (Florida law standard)
- Your claim is filed within Florida’s 24-month Lemon Law rights period

Common Defects Under Jacksonville Lemon Law
Many recurring issues fall under Jacksonville Lemon Law, such as:
• Engine stalling, overheating, or loss of power
• Brake or steering malfunctions
• Electrical issues (dash lights, wiring, battery drain)
• Air conditioning or heating failures
• Oil or fluid leaks
• Transmission slipping, jerking, or failure to shift
If these problems persist after multiple repairs, your car may legally qualify as a lemon.
Jacksonville Lemon Law and Used Cars
Florida Lemon Law usually applies to new vehicles only, but used cars may qualify if:
- They are still covered under the original manufacturer’s warranty
- The issue began and was reported within Florida’s 24-month Lemon Law period
- The manufacturer had a chance to repair the problem and did not succeed
