Syracuse Lemon Law Attorneys Helping Drivers Resolve Vehicle Defect Claims

The Syracuse Lemon Law is designed to help car buyers and lessees who end up with vehicles that repeatedly fail to perform as promised. If your car keeps breaking down or has ongoing defects, you could be entitled to:

• A replacement vehicle of equal value
• A full refund, including taxes and registration costs
• A financial settlement for diminished value or inconvenience
• Attorney’s fees covered by the manufacturer when your case succeeds

You never pay us directly — all legal fees are paid by the manufacturer.

Syracuse Lemon Law covers:

• New or leased vehicles purchased or registered in New York
• Passenger cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans for personal or household use
• Claims filed within 2 years of delivery or before 18,000 miles, whichever happens first
• Vehicles with 4 or more unsuccessful repair attempts or 30+ total days in the shop
• Certain small business vehicles that meet the New York Lemon Law criteria

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

You might qualify if:

• The defect affects the car’s safety, value, or function
• The same issue required 4 or more repair attempts
• Your vehicle was in the shop for 30 or more total days
• The problem appeared within 2 years or before 18,000 miles

If you’re unsure, our team can evaluate your repair records and confirm if you’re eligible — at no charge.

Typical issues that may qualify under New York Lemon Law include:

• Engine problems (stalling, loss of power, overheating)
• Transmission failures or shifting issues
• Steering or brake system defects
• Electrical issues (dashboard lights, battery, sensors)
• Malfunctioning heating or air conditioning
• Persistent oil, coolant, or fluid leaks

If your dealer or manufacturer can’t fix these recurring problems, you could have a valid Lemon Law claim.

New York’s Used Car Lemon Law also helps buyers of pre-owned vehicles if:

• The car was purchased from a licensed dealer
• The issue appeared within the warranty period required by New York law
• The dealer failed to repair the defect after 3 or more attempts or 15 cumulative days
