Top-Rated Michigan Lemon Law Attorneys Ready to Go to Bat for You

Michigan drivers are protected with Michigan Lemon Law when a new vehicle doesn’t perform as expected. If your car has persistent, serious problems, you may be eligible for:

• A new replacement vehicle
• A full refund of the vehicle, taxes, and license fees
• A cash settlement for diminished value
• Legal fees paid by the automaker — not you

We’ll get your case moving fast with no stress and no upfront cost.

Michigan Lemon Law applies to:

• New passenger vehicles and pickups for personal use
• Leased vehicles still under original warranty
• Cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles
• Issues must occur within 1 year from delivery or first repair attempt

Not covered: Used vehicles outside warranty, commercial fleet vehicles, or owner-caused issues

To qualify for Michigan Lemon Law, the defect must:

• Substantially impair the use or value of the vehicle, or keep it from conforming to the manufacturer’s express warranty.
• Be first reported either during the manufacturer’s express warranty or within 1 year of delivery to the original owner — whichever comes first (Mich. Comp. Laws § 257.1402).
• Survive a reasonable number of repair attempts. Michigan presumes that standard is met when the same defect has been repaired 4 or more times within 2 years of the first attempt and still exists, or when the vehicle has been out of service 30 or more days during the warranty or the first year, whichever is earlier (§ 257.1403(5)).
• Written notice is required before you can claim the remedy. Michigan is one of the few states that demands it in the statute: send the manufacturer written notice by return receipt mail after the third repair attempt, or once the vehicle has been out of service 25 days. The manufacturer then gets one final chance — 5 business days after you deliver the vehicle to the facility it designates (§ 257.1403(5)).
• If the standard is met, you may demand a refund rather than a replacement, and the manufacturer has 30 days to act. Your refund is reduced by a mileage allowance calculated on the miles driven before you first reported the problem, plus any miles past 25,000 (§ 257.1403(1)–(2)).

Michigan’s lemon law covers significant defects that interfere with the vehicle’s operation or safety. Examples include:

• Heater malfunctions or defroster issues
• Transmission grinding or gear slipping
• Check engine lights or warning errors
• Frequent battery failure
• Window, roof, or trunk leaks
• Engine overheating or stalling
• And more…

These defects must persist after a reasonable number of repair attempts and be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.

Michigan generally does not protect used vehicles, unless:

• The defect occurred while still under the original warranty
• You gave the manufacturer reasonable repair opportunities
