My Car is Out of Warranty - Can I Still Use the Lemon Law?

In most cases in most states, the state lemon laws do not cover a vehicle when the warranty has expired. But this is not always the case, so it pays to investigate your specific state lemon law statutes.

If you have an extended warranty, keep in mind that not all extended warranties are created equal. An experienced lemon law attorney will know if your extended warranty keeps your car qualified for enacting the state lemon laws.

You can read your state lemon law statutes online or at a law library. They are not always easy to find because they are not always called the lemon law statutes in the table of contents or index. And once you find them, they are not always easy to understand.

Read the lemon law statutes carefully and be sure you find the section pertaining to warranties and what constitutes a warranty as recognized by the statutes.

In some states, timing is everything. In some states, if the first time the mechanical or safety problem appeared while the car was in warranty, then the lemon law statutes will be able to be applied. In some states the first two repairs for the same mechanical or safety problem needed to have been completed as a warranty repair.

That is why some people seek the advice of an experienced lemon law attorney, just for situations like this one. An experienced lemon law attorney in your state will have the necessary track record to easily answer your question. If the answer is yes, you are still able to use the lemon law even though your car is out of warranty, then be sure to choose a lemon law attorney who has proven successful in numerous cases like yours.
