Montgomery Lemon Law Attorneys Dedicated to Protecting Drivers From Defective Cars

The Montgomery Lemon Law is designed to help drivers who are stuck with unsafe or unreliable vehicles. If your new or leased car keeps returning to the shop, you may be entitled to:

• A vehicle replacement of equal value
• A refund of your purchase price, including taxes and fees
• A cash payout for loss in value
• Manufacturer-covered legal fees if your case is successful

No upfront cost — you only benefit.

The Montgomery Lemon Law covers:

• Newly purchased or leased vehicles for personal use.
• Passenger cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and motorcycles.
• Filing deadlines are set by state law and are often much shorter than people expect — some states require action within months, not years. Ask us for a free review of the deadline that applies to your vehicle.
• Report the defect while the vehicle is still covered by the manufacturer’s warranty or within your state’s lemon-law rights period — these periods vary by state and can be as short as one year.
• Certain business-use vehicles.

Not covered: cars sold “as-is,” commercial fleets, or vehicles with owner modifications.

You may qualify for a Montgomery Lemon Law claim if:

• The defect impacts the safety, use, or value of the vehicle
• The dealer or manufacturer made 2+ unsuccessful repair attempts
• Your vehicle was out of service for 30 days or more
• Filing deadlines are set by state law and are often much shorter than people expect — some states require action within months, not years. Ask us for a free review of the deadline that applies to your vehicle.
• Report the defect while the vehicle is still covered by the manufacturer’s warranty or within your state’s lemon-law rights period — these periods vary by state and can be as short as one year.

Typical issues that may qualify under Montgomery Lemon Law include:

• Engine failure, frequent stalling, or loss of power
• Malfunctioning brakes or safety features
• Electrical system faults (dashboard, wiring, lights)
• HVAC or AC system breakdowns
• Transmission slipping, jerking, or delayed shifting
• Persistent leaks or fluid loss

If repairs don’t solve the problem, your vehicle may legally qualify as a lemon.

The Montgomery Lemon Law can sometimes cover used vehicles, if:

• The car is still under the original manufacturer’s warranty
• Filing deadlines are set by state law and are often much shorter than people expect — some states require action within months, not years. Ask us for a free review of the deadline that applies to your vehicle.
• The manufacturer had the opportunity to repair the issue but failed
