Roswell Lemon Law Attorneys Helping Drivers Get Justice for Defective Vehicles

The Roswell Lemon Law exists to safeguard car owners and lessees from being burdened with defective vehicles. If your new or leased car keeps breaking down despite repeated repairs, you may be entitled to:

• A comparable replacement vehicle
• A full refund including registration, title, and taxes
• A financial settlement for reduced value or ongoing issues
• Attorney’s fees paid by the manufacturer when your case succeeds

No out-of-pocket expenses, ever.

Roswell Lemon Law applies to:

• New or leased passenger vehicles purchased or registered in New Mexico
• Cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans for personal or household use
• Claims filed within 1 year of delivery or before the manufacturer’s express warranty expires
• Vehicles with 4 or more failed repair attempts or 30+ cumulative days in the repair shop
• Certain small business vehicles that meet New Mexico’s criteria

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

You may qualify if:

• The defect affects the vehicle’s safety, functionality, or resale value
• The dealer or manufacturer has made 4 or more unsuccessful repair attempts
• Your vehicle has spent 30+ total days in the shop for the same or related issues
• The issue was reported within 1 year of delivery or while still under warranty

If you’re unsure, our team can review your repair records for free to determine if your vehicle qualifies.

Typical vehicle problems that may qualify under Lemon Law include:

• Engine stalling, vibration, or overheating
• Transmission slipping or hesitation
• Brake or steering system failure
• Electrical system malfunctions (battery, lights, sensors, or wiring)
• Air conditioning or heating not working properly
• Persistent fluid leaks (oil, coolant, or transmission)

If your vehicle keeps showing these issues, it may be legally considered a lemon under New Mexico law.

Although the New Mexico Lemon Law mainly covers new vehicles, some used cars may also qualify if:

• The defect occurred while the original manufacturer’s warranty was still active
• The issue appeared within 1 year of delivery
• The manufacturer was given a reasonable opportunity to repair the issue but failed

Check if your used vehicle qualifies — the review is fast, easy, and free.
