Salt Lake City Lemon Law Attorneys Helping Utah Drivers Resolve Vehicle Defect Claims

The Salt Lake City Lemon Law provides protection for Utah consumers who buy or lease new vehicles that fail to meet expected standards of performance and safety. If your car has ongoing issues, you may be entitled to:

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

You pay nothing out of pocket — all legal fees are handled by the manufacturer.

Salt Lake City Lemon Law applies to:

• New and leased vehicles purchased or registered in Utah
• Cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans used for personal, family, or household purposes
• Claims filed within the warranty period or 2 years from the date of delivery (whichever comes first)
• Vehicles with 4 or more failed repair attempts for the same defect or 30+ days out of service
• Some small business or fleet vehicles that meet Utah Lemon Law requirements

Not Covered: Used “as-is” vehicles, off-road or commercial-use vehicles, or those extensively modified after purchase.

You may qualify if:

• Your vehicle’s defect impacts its safety, use, or resale value
• The manufacturer or dealer made 4 or more repair attempts for the same problem
• The vehicle has been out of service for 30 or more cumulative days
• The issue occurred within the manufacturer’s warranty period or two years of ownership

Our Salt Lake City Lemon Law attorneys can review your repair history and determine your eligibility — at no cost to you.

Frequent defects that may qualify include:

• Engine failure, stalling, or overheating
• Transmission slipping or rough shifting
• Steering or braking system malfunctions
• Electrical or dashboard light issues
• Air conditioning or heating that doesn’t function properly
• Persistent leaks, rattling, or vibration issues

If your vehicle experiences these issues and the dealer can’t fix them, it may be considered a “lemon” under Utah law.

Utah’s Lemon Law primarily covers new vehicles, but used car buyers may still be protected under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act or dealer warranty rules if:

• The used car was sold with a written warranty or service contract
• The defect occurred during the warranty period
• The dealer failed to repair the issue within a reasonable number of attempts
