Yonkers Lemon Law Attorneys Helping Drivers Resolve Defective Vehicle Claims

The Yonkers Lemon Law provides valuable protection for car owners and lessees who discover their new vehicle has recurring issues. If your car continues to have defects that affect its use, safety, or value, you may be entitled to:

• A replacement vehicle of equal value
• A full refund, including taxes, title, and registration fees
• A financial settlement for loss in value
• Attorney’s fees paid by the manufacturer if your case is successful

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

Yonkers Lemon Law covers:

• New or leased vehicles purchased or registered in New York
• Cars, SUVs, trucks, and vans for personal or household use
• Claims filed within 2 years of delivery or before 18,000 miles, whichever occurs first
• Vehicles with 4 or more failed repair attempts or 30+ days out of service
• Certain small business vehicles that meet New York’s Lemon Law standards

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

You may qualify if:

• Your car’s defect affects its safety, function, or resale value
• The issue required 4 or more repair attempts
• The vehicle was out of service for 30 or more total days
• The problem occurred within 2 years of delivery or before 18,000 miles

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

Typical defects that qualify under Lemon Law include:

• Engine stalling, overheating, or vibration
• Transmission slipping, hesitation, or total failure
• Steering or braking malfunctions
• Electrical problems (dashboard lights, battery, sensors)
• Air conditioning or heating not functioning properly
• Persistent leaks (oil, coolant, or transmission fluid)

If your car keeps experiencing these issues despite repairs, you may be driving a lemon under New York law.

New York’s Used Car Lemon Law also protects consumers who buy from licensed dealers. You may be covered if:

• The defect occurred within the warranty period required by New York law
• The dealer failed to fix the problem after 3 or more attempts or within 15 cumulative days
• The vehicle was purchased from a licensed dealer (not a private seller)
