Minneapolis Lemon Law Attorneys Helping Drivers with Defective Vehicles

The Minneapolis Lemon Law was created to protect consumers from defective vehicles that fail to meet expected standards of quality and reliability. If your new or leased vehicle keeps breaking down, affecting its safety, performance, or resale value, you may qualify for:

• A comparable replacement vehicle
• A full refund including taxes, registration, and title fees
• A cash settlement for loss in value
• Attorney’s fees covered by the manufacturer if you win your claim

No out-of-pocket costs — ever.

Minneapolis Lemon Law protections apply to:

• New or leased vehicles used for personal, family, or household purposes
• Cars, trucks, vans, SUVs, and motorcycles
• Claims filed within 2 years of delivery or within the manufacturer’s express warranty period (Minnesota-specific rule)
• Vehicles with the same defect repaired 4 or more times, or out of service 30+ cumulative days
• Some business-use vehicles under the state’s weight limit

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

You may qualify if:

• The defect impacts your vehicle’s safety, use, or value
• The manufacturer or dealer attempted repairs 4 or more times
• The vehicle was out of service for 30 or more days
• The issue occurred within the first 2 years or warranty coverage period

Recurring defects that may make your car a lemon include:

• Engine failure, overheating, or power loss
• Transmission problems (slipping, rough shifting, or hesitation)
• Steering or brake system defects
• Electrical system malfunctions (battery, lights, dashboard, or wiring issues)
• HVAC failures (heating or A/C not working)
• Persistent oil, fuel, or coolant leaks

If these issues continue despite multiple repair attempts, your vehicle may qualify as a lemon under Minnesota law.

Minnesota Lemon Law primarily protects new vehicles, but some used cars may qualify if:

• The original manufacturer’s warranty is still valid
• The defect appeared within the warranty or two-year period
• The manufacturer had a chance to repair the defect but failed
