St. Petersburg Lemon Law Attorneys Protecting Consumers from Faulty Cars

The St. Petersburg Lemon Law was designed to protect car buyers from vehicles that fail to meet expectations. If your new or leased car continues to break down in ways that affect safety, performance, or resale value, you may qualify for:

• A replacement vehicle of similar value
• A full refund of the purchase price, including taxes and fees
• A financial settlement for reduced value
• Attorney’s fees paid by the manufacturer if you win

No upfront costs — ever.

St. Petersburg Lemon Law protections apply to:

• Newly purchased or leased personal-use vehicles
• Cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and motorcycles
• Claims filed within 24 months of delivery (Florida’s time limit)
• Vehicles with 3+ failed repairs or 15+ days in the shop
• Certain small business vehicles under 10,000 lbs.

Not Covered: As-is used cars, off-road vehicles, or heavily modified cars

You may be eligible if:

• The defect impacts your vehicle’s safety, use, or value
• The manufacturer or dealer attempted repairs at least 3 times
• Your car has been unusable for 15 or more days
• The issue was reported within Florida’s 24-month Lemon Law rights period

Some defects that often qualify include:

• Engine stalling, overheating, or sudden loss of power
• Brake or steering system failures
• Electrical malfunctions (wiring, battery, dashboard lights)
• Air conditioning or heating breakdowns
• Transmission slipping, jerking, or hesitation
• Oil, coolant, or fuel leaks

If your car continues to show these issues despite multiple repair attempts, it may qualify as a lemon.

Florida Lemon Law mainly applies to new cars, but some used vehicles may qualify if:

• The manufacturer’s original warranty is still active
• The defect was reported within 24 months of the car’s delivery date
• The manufacturer had an opportunity to repair the issue but failed
