What Happens if You Buy a Lemon Vehicle in Arizona?

Purchasing a lemon vehicle in Arizona

Purchasing a vehicle is a significant investment, and discovering that your new car is a lemon can be incredibly frustrating. If you find yourself in this unfortunate situation in Arizona, it’s essential to understand your rights and the steps you need to take to resolve the issue. At Sartipi Law, we specialize in helping clients navigate lemon law cases, ensuring they receive the compensation they deserve.

Understanding Arizona’s Lemon Law

Arizona’s lemon law provides protection for consumers who purchase defective vehicles. Under this law, if your new car has substantial defects that affect its use, value, or safety, and the manufacturer or dealer is unable to fix these issues after a reasonable number of attempts, you may be entitled to a refund or replacement vehicle. The key points to remember are:

Coverage Period: Arizona’s lemon law covers new vehicles within the first two years or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Reasonable Repair Attempts: The manufacturer or dealer must be given a reasonable number of attempts to fix the defect. This typically means four repair attempts for the same issue or the vehicle being out of service for a cumulative total of 30 days.
Substantial Defects: The defect must significantly impair the vehicle’s use, value, or safety. Minor issues or cosmetic defects generally do not qualify.

Steps to Take if You Have a Lemon Vehicle

Document Everything: Keep detailed records of all repair attempts, including dates, descriptions of the problem, and repair invoices. This documentation is crucial for building your case.
Notify the Manufacturer: Contact the vehicle manufacturer to inform them of the persistent issue. They may offer a final attempt to fix the problem or propose a settlement.
Consult an Experienced Lemon Law Attorney: If the manufacturer or dealer fails to resolve the issue, it’s time to seek legal assistance. At Sartipi Law, we have extensive experience handling lemon law cases in Arizona. We will guide you through the process and fight for your rights.
