Naperville Lemon Law Attorneys Protecting Illinois Car Owners

The Naperville Lemon Law was designed to stop consumers from being stuck with defective vehicles. If your new or leased car keeps failing despite multiple repair attempts, you may be entitled to:

• A full refund for payments and costs
• A replacement vehicle of similar value
• A cash settlement for reduced value
• Attorney’s fees covered by the manufacturer if your claim succeeds

You don’t pay out-of-pocket — legal fees are paid when we win your case.

The Illinois Lemon Law applies to:

• New cars, SUVs, vans, and light trucks
• Leased vehicles covered under the manufacturer’s warranty
• Defects occurring within the first 12 months or 12,000 miles (whichever comes first)
• Some vehicles used for small business under specific limits

Excludes: used “as-is” cars, recreational vehicles, motorcycles, and commercial trucks

You may qualify if:

• The issue affects safety, use, or resale value
• The dealer or manufacturer attempted 4 or more repairs for the same problem
• The vehicle was in the shop for 30+ cumulative days
• The defect occurred during the coverage period
• You filed within the state’s Lemon Law timeframe

Keep all invoices and repair records — they’ll strengthen your case.

Frequent issues that may qualify your car as a lemon include:

• Engine knocking, overheating, or total failure
• Transmission slipping, harsh shifting, or power loss
• Electrical failures (battery, dashboard, sensors)
• Brake malfunctions or premature wear
• Steering or suspension problems
• Air conditioning/heating breakdowns (especially during Illinois weather extremes)

If these defects keep returning, you may have a lemon vehicle.

Some used cars may still qualify under the Illinois Lemon Law if:

• They are covered by the manufacturer’s new vehicle warranty
• The defect appeared within the Lemon Law period
• The manufacturer had a reasonable chance to fix the issue
