What is considered a “reasonable” number of attempts?

Published by admin under FAQ

It is presumed that a reasonable number of attempts have been undertaken if the same unconformity has been subject to repair three or more times within the above-referenced time frame.
It is important to note that if the nonconformity results in a condition which is likely to cause death or serious bodily injury if the vehicle is driven, the vehicle may have been subject to repair one time.

How many times does my new vehicle have to be submitted for repair before it can be considered a “lemon”?

Published by admin under FAQ

If the manufacturer, its agents, or its authorized dealer are unable to conform your new vehicle to any applicable express warranty by repairing or correcting any defect after a reasonable number of attempts, the manufacturers shall replace the new motor vehicle with a comparable new motor vehicle which does conform to the warranties.
