Savannah Lemon Law ensures consumers don’t get stuck with unreliable vehicles that can’t be fixed.
Under Georgia law, manufacturers must repair, replace, or repurchase defective vehicles — and in some cases, pay additional compensation. Understanding Savannah Lemon Law
The Savannah Lemon Law was created to protect car owners who end up with vehicles that fail to meet reasonable quality and performance standards. If your new or leased car continues to have problems that affect safety, performance, or resale value, you may qualify for:
- A replacement vehicle of equal value
- A full refund including purchase price, taxes, and fees
- A financial settlement for diminished value
- Attorney’s fees covered by the manufacturer if your claim succeeds
No upfront or out-of-pocket costs for you.
What Vehicles Are Covered?
Savannah Lemon Law protections include:
- New or leased passenger vehicles for personal use
- Cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and motorcycles
- Claims filed within 24 months of purchase or before 24,000 miles (Georgia-specific law)
- Vehicles with 3+ failed repair attempts or 30+ cumulative days out of service
- Certain small business vehicles depending on size and weight limits
Not Covered: As-is used cars, off-road vehicles, or heavily modified vehicles.
Do I Qualify for a Savannah Lemon Law Claim?
You may qualify if:
- The defect impacts your vehicle’s safety, value, or use
- The dealer or manufacturer tried to repair it 3 or more times
- Your car was out of service for 30 or more cumulative days
- You reported the problem within Georgia’s 24-month / 24,000-mile period

Savannah Lemon Law and Used Cars
Georgia Lemon Law mainly applies to new vehicles, but some used vehicles may qualify if:
