Pittsburgh Lemon Law Attorneys Helping Drivers Resolve Vehicle Defect Issues

The Pittsburgh Lemon Law ensures that car buyers and lessees aren’t left helpless with defective vehicles. If your car keeps breaking down under warranty, you may be eligible for:

• A complete refund of your purchase price
• A replacement vehicle of equal value
• A cash compensation for ongoing issues
• No attorney fees, as the manufacturer pays all legal costs

You pay nothing unless your claim is successful.

Under Pennsylvania Lemon Law, the following vehicles are covered:

• New cars, SUVs, trucks, and vans under manufacturer warranty
• Leased vehicles covered by the original factory warranty
• Vehicles primarily used for personal, household, or family purposes
• Defects reported within 12 months or 12,000 miles of delivery

Not included: motorcycles, motorhomes, or used vehicles sold “as is.”

You may qualify if:

• The defect affects your vehicle’s safety, use, or resale value
• The manufacturer or dealer made 3+ repair attempts for the same issue
• Your car was out of service for 30+ cumulative days due to repairs
• The defect occurred while the vehicle was still under warranty
• You filed your claim within Pennsylvania’s time limit

Keep all repair invoices, service orders, and communication records — they’re essential to winning your case.

Pittsburgh drivers frequently experience issues such as:

• Engine or transmission failure
• Electrical or software malfunctions
• Steering or brake system issues
• HVAC and temperature control defects
• Warning lights or faulty sensors
• Suspension or noise-related problems

If your car continues to show the same issue despite repairs, it may legally qualify as a lemon.

While Pennsylvania Lemon Law mainly covers new vehicles, certain used cars may also qualify if:

• The defect appeared within 12 months or 12,000 miles
• The manufacturer’s original warranty is still active
• Multiple repair attempts failed to fix the problem
