Does Your Vehicle Qualify Under Georgia’s Lemon Law?

To qualify under Georgia’s Lemon Law, your new car must meet the following criteria:

• It was purchased in Georgia and is covered by a manufacturer’s warranty.
• The vehicle is a new model (2020-2025) and has significant, ongoing defects that affect safety, usability, or value.
• The defect remains unresolved after multiple repair attempts, or the vehicle has been out of service for 30 or more days due to repairs.
• The dealer or an authorized repair facility has attempted repairs at least three times, plus one final attempt before Lemon Law protections apply.

Understanding Your Lemon Law Rights in Georgia

The Georgia Lemon Law applies within a specific time frame:

• The law covers defects reported within 24 months from the original purchase date or within the first 24,000 miles—whichever comes first.
• If the manufacturer cannot repair the defect after a reasonable number of attempts, they must replace or repurchase the vehicle.

What If Your Vehicle Doesn’t Qualify Under Georgia’s Lemon Law?

If your new car does not meet Georgia’s Lemon Law requirements, you may still have options under federal consumer protection laws, such as the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. This federal law allows you to file a Breach of Warranty claim, and in many cases, attorney’s fees are covered if your case is successful.

Our experienced Lemon Law attorneys can assess your case and explore whether a federal Lemon Law claim is a viable option.

Types of Vehicle Defects Covered Under Georgia’s Lemon Law

Georgia’s Lemon Law applies to two main types of defects:

1. A serious safety defect that puts the driver and passengers at risk.
2. Any other substantial defect that:
   • Impairs the use, safety, or value of the vehicle.
   • Makes the vehicle noncompliant with the manufacturer’s warranty.

Why Documentation is Crucial for Your Lemon Law Case

• Take your car to an authorized dealership for all repairs.
• Obtain and keep detailed records of repair orders.
• Note the dates and issues experienced each time you visit for repairs.
