The NC lemon law can help you get out of a defective car or truck. We know how frustrating it is to find out your new vehicle is not what you expected. However, the NC lemon law gives you real options — and we know how to use it to your advantage.
We empathize with your situation. Taking time away from your life to return a vehicle to the shop for repeated, unsuccessful repairs is exhausting. In fact, it is exactly the kind of problem the NC lemon law was designed to fix.
What the NC Lemon Law Does
The NC lemon law helps consumers who bought or leased a new car or truck with a chronic, irreparable problem. It forces manufacturers to take responsibility for the warranties they offer and the vehicles they sell.
How It Works
The NC lemon law gives you a claim when either of the following is true:
Your vehicle has gone to an authorized repair shop four or more times for the same problem. Each visit must be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. In addition, you must give written notice that the fourth attempt is the final one. Call us before that visit — we handle the notice for you.
OR your vehicle has been in the shop for more than 20 business days in any 12-month period. This threshold covers multiple different problems, not just one repeated defect.
When your vehicle meets either of these thresholds, the manufacturer must buy it back or give you a replacement. The choice is yours.
Moreover, under the NC lemon law, the manufacturer pays your attorney’s fees when you win. You pay nothing out of pocket. If your vehicle is subject to a recall defect that can’t be repaired, the lemon law may be able to help with that as well. Check your vehicle’s recall status at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website.
