The Lemon Law in Ohio covers new cars, trucks, RV’s, ATV’s, motorcycles, and any other new motor vehicle or a used vehicle that is still within one year of its original sale date and has less than 18,000 miles on the odometer. 

The Ohio Lemon Law will cover you and it does not matter whether you purchased the vehicle or if you leased it. 

Price does not matter either.  Whether your new lemon motor vehicle is a Kia, Ford, Chrysler, GMC, Chevrolet, Dodge, Lincoln, Subaru, Honda, a Dodge, a Ram pickup truck, a Lexus, Hyundai, Land Rover, or a Rolls Royce, Bentley, Ferrari, or Maserati (and yes, we have handled those cases too), the Ohio Lemon Law covers all consumer motor vehicles.

If you have a defect that is so serious that it is likely to cause an accident or someone to get hurt, and your dealer does not get it fixed on the very first attempt, you have a lemon if it occurred within the first 18,000 miles and within one year after the original sale date.

Don’t fit one of the above definitions? That’s okay because there is a Federal Lemon Law that can help you get rid of your lemon and get your money back too.

But watch out for the ways the manufacturer will try to take advantage of you, even when you have a car or truck that is a lemon.

Manufacturers will tell you that you have to pay for the mileage you put on your vehicle. Wrong.

The Ohio Lemon Law does not allow the manufacturer to make any mileage deduction when they buy your car or truck back from you because it is a lemon.  Still, you can be sure they will try to convince you otherwise - even though the manufacturer knows it is illegal.  Be careful they do not take advantage of you. Call or email us now for free help.

And if you want a new replacement vehicle, the manufacturer will probably tell you that you have to pay for the increase in the price. Wrong again.

If you want your lemon new car to be replaced with one that runs right, the manufacturer is not allowed to charge you for the increase in the sticker price, either.  But you can bet they will try.  The same is true for a lemon truck too. 

It’s all negotiable! 

So why do they argue with you? Well, vehicle manufacturers do not build those new manufacturing plants by gladly repurchasing or replacing your lemon car or truck.  They save money by arguing with you about it - the more they get you to pay, the less it costs them.  And you can bet that they know their numbers. 

They know that if they argue with you, stall, or drag it out, that the odds are a lot of people will get tired of the argument and just give up.  You don’t have to!  When you get stuck with a lemon car or a lemon truck, we can help “unstick” you.  Our job is to make the manufacturer take it back and either give you a new one or to give you back your money.  Of course, they should also have to pay the legal costs involved in doing it. After all, it is not your fault that they built it bad in the first place. 

Who are we?  We are the only law firm in Ohio that has been suing car dealers and car manufacturers for over 30 years, making them take back lemon cars and lemon trucks and give people back their hard-earned money and replace their lemons with new cars and new trucks that run right. 

Why do we do it?  Because we enjoy making the legal system work right for people who purchased lemon cars and trucks that were built wrong.

Vehicle Rollover Ratings

Vehicle rollover ratings

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has released it most up to date vehicle rollover “star” ratings. Manufacturers strive for the top grade of 5 stars. A single star rating is a dismal result and can indicate a vehicle you want to stay away from.

The new ratings combine NHTSA’s static-stability measurement, which reflects a vehicle’s dimensions and center of gravity, with a dynamic test that measures vehicle performance in an emergency maneuver. One star signifies a more than 40 percent likelihood of rollover in a single-vehicle crash; five stars mean less than 10 percent. While rollovers occur in fewer than 3 percent of serious crashes, they’re involved in some 33 percent of all vehicle-occupant deaths.
