Raleigh Lemon Law Attorneys Helping Drivers Resolve Vehicle Defect Disputes

The Raleigh Lemon Law exists to protect drivers who purchase or lease new vehicles that fail to perform properly. If your car repeatedly breaks down or has ongoing defects, you may be entitled to:

• A replacement vehicle of equal value
• A full refund including taxes, registration, and title fees
• A financial settlement for diminished value or inconvenience
• Attorney’s fees paid by the manufacturer when your claim is successful

You pay nothing upfront — our fees are covered by the manufacturer.

Raleigh Lemon Law applies to:

• New or leased vehicles purchased or registered in North Carolina
• Cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs primarily used for personal or household purposes
• Claims filed within 24 months of delivery or before 24,000 miles, whichever occurs first
• Vehicles with 4 or more failed repair attempts or 20+ business days out of service
• Some small business vehicles that qualify under state Lemon Law provisions

Not Covered: Used “as-is” vehicles, off-road vehicles, or vehicles substantially modified after purchase.

You might qualify if:

• Your vehicle’s defect affects its safety, function, or resale value
• The same issue required 4 or more repair visits
• The car was out of service for 20 or more business days
• The problem appeared within 2 years of delivery or before 24,000 miles

If you’re unsure, our legal team will review your repair history and confirm your eligibility — completely free.

Common qualifying vehicle problems include:

• Engine misfires, overheating, or stalling
• Transmission slipping or total failure
• Steering or brake system malfunctions
• Electrical problems (battery, sensors, dashboard warnings)
• Air conditioning or heating not working properly
• Persistent fluid leaks or mechanical noises

If your car continues to have these issues despite multiple repairs, you could be driving a lemon under North Carolina law.

While the North Carolina Lemon Law focuses mainly on new vehicles, certain used car buyers may still be protected if:

• The vehicle was sold with a written warranty or service contract
• The dealer failed to repair the defect after several attempts
• The issue appeared within the stated warranty period
