Get Started

Under Connecticut Lemon Law, if you purchase or lease a vehicle with a significant defect that can’t be fixed, the manufacturer must take action.

If the defect cannot be resolved after multiple repair attempts, you may be entitled to a replacement vehicle, refund, or cash compensation, including civil penalties if applicable.

Your Rights Under Connecticut Lemon Law

Under Connecticut Lemon Law, you have the right to receive compensation if your vehicle has a defect that affects its safety, value, or use, and the defect persists despite several attempts to repair it. You may be entitled to:

  • Replacement: A comparable vehicle of the same make and model.
  • Repurchase: A full refund, including taxes and fees, minus a mileage deduction.
  • Cash Settlement: Compensation for the diminished value of your vehicle, plus civil penalties up to three times the original amount.

Additionally, Connecticut Lemon Law ensures that attorney fees are covered, so you can pursue your claim without financial worry.

What Vehicles Are Covered by Connecticut Lemon Law?

Under Connecticut Lemon Law, you’re protected if you own or lease:

  • New and certified pre-owned vehicles under the manufacturer’s warranty.
  • Used vehicles sold with a remaining factory warranty.
  • Vehicles such as cars, trucks, motorcycles, SUVs, RVs, and certain business vehicles (under 10,000 lbs).

Exclusions may apply to minor defects, neglect, or unauthorized changes to the vehicle.

How to Qualify for Connecticut Lemon Law?

To qualify for Connecticut Lemon Law, the defect must:

  • Be reported during the first 24,000 miles or 2 years from original delivery, whichever comes first (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 42-179(b)).
  • Survive a reasonable number of repair attempts. Connecticut presumes that standard is met when the same defect has been repaired 4 or more times, or the vehicle has been out of service 30 or more cumulative days — both within that same 24,000-mile/2-year window (§ 42-179(e)). A defect likely to cause death or serious injury needs only 2 repair attempts within the warranty term or 1 year, whichever comes first (§ 42-179(f)).
  • At least one repair attempt must have been made before a claim can proceed.

Connecticut’s lemon law statute does not set its own filing deadline. Ask us and we’ll tell you where that leaves your timeline.

Types of Defects Covered by Connecticut Lemon Law

Connecticut Lemon Law covers a variety of defects, including:

  • Engine problems (e.g., overheating, stalling)
  • Braking system failures
  • Transmission issues
  • Electrical system malfunctions
  • Suspension and steering defects

These defects must affect the vehicle’s operation or safety and persist after a reasonable number of repair attempts.

Lemon Law for Used Cars in Connecticut

Connecticut Lemon Law applies to used vehicles under certain conditions:

  • The defect must still be covered by the original manufacturer’s warranty.
  • It must affect the vehicle’s safety, value, or use.
  • The defect must remain unresolved after reasonable repair attempts.

If your used vehicle qualifies, we’ll help you get the compensation you deserve.

FAQs

FAQ Icon
What circumstances might lead to an unfair outcome in a lemon law arbitration case?

Unfair outcomes in lemon law arbitration may result from inadequate documentation of repairs, missing filing deadlines, insufficient repair opportunities given to the manufacturer, defects from misuse or unauthorized modifications, lack of legal representation, or accepting settlements without understanding your rights.

What's a mileage offset, and how's it calculated in CT?

A mileage offset is a mileage deduction applied when calculating a repurchase. Under Connecticut Lemon Law, you receive a full refund including taxes and fees, minus a mileage deduction. However, the specific calculation method for the mileage offset is not detailed.

What are the time limits for filing a lemon law claim in Connecticut?

Act promptly. Deadlines are set by state law, vary by state, and are often much shorter than people expect — report the defect while the vehicle is still under the manufacturer’s warranty and ask us for a free review of the deadline that applies to you.
