Youngstown Lemon Law Attorneys Helping You Get Justice for a Defective Vehicle

The Youngstown Lemon Law ensures that car buyers and lessees don’t have to keep a vehicle that constantly breaks down. If your car has ongoing issues under warranty, you may be entitled to:

• A complete refund of your vehicle purchase
• A replacement vehicle of equal value
• A cash payout for inconvenience and loss of use
• Free legal representation, paid for by the manufacturer

You pay nothing unless your case succeeds.

Under Ohio Lemon Law, the following are covered:

• New cars, SUVs, trucks, and vans under factory warranty
• Leased vehicles covered by manufacturer warranties
• Vehicles used primarily for personal, household, or family use
• Defects reported within the first 12 months or 18,000 miles

Not included: “as is” used cars, motorcycles, and RVs.

You might qualify if:

• The defect impacts your car’s safety, use, or market value
• The dealer made 3 or more failed repairs for the same issue
• Your vehicle was out of service for 30+ days due to repairs
• The issue occurred while still under warranty
• Your claim was filed within Ohio’s required timeframe

Keep copies of all repair orders, receipts, and warranty documents — they’re essential to building your Lemon Law case.

Youngstown drivers often report persistent issues such as:

• Transmission or engine malfunctions
• Electrical or wiring system failures
• Steering or brake problems
• Air conditioning or heating issues
• Faulty sensors or dashboard warning lights
• Noise, vibration, or suspension defects

If your car keeps visiting the repair shop for the same issue, it may legally qualify as a lemon.

While Ohio Lemon Law focuses on new cars, some used vehicles also qualify if:

• The issue appeared within 12 months or 18,000 miles
• The original manufacturer’s warranty is still active
• Multiple repair attempts failed to fix the defect
