Bowling Green Lemon Law protects Kentucky consumers from being stuck with defective or unsafe vehicles.
If your vehicle can’t be repaired after a reasonable number of attempts, the manufacturer may be required to replace or buy it back — usually at no cost to you.
Understanding Bowling Green Lemon Law
The Bowling Green Lemon Law provides valuable protection for car owners and lessees who discover their new vehicle has recurring issues. If your car continues to have defects that affect its use, safety, or value, you may be entitled to:
- A replacement vehicle of equal value
- A full refund, including taxes, title, and registration fees
- A financial settlement for loss in value
- Attorney’s fees paid by the manufacturer if your case is successful
You pay nothing out of pocket — all legal fees are covered by the manufacturer.
What Vehicles Are Covered?
Bowling Green Lemon Law covers:
- New or leased vehicles purchased or registered in Kentucky
- Cars, SUVs, trucks, and vans for personal or household use
- Claims filed within 2 years of delivery or before 18,000 miles, whichever occurs first
- Vehicles with 4 or more failed repair attempts or 30+ days out of service
- Certain small business vehicles that meet Kentucky’s Lemon Law standards
Not Covered: Used “as-is” cars, off-road vehicles, or vehicles significantly modified after purchase.
Do I Qualify for a Bowling Green Lemon Law Claim?
You may qualify if:
- Your car’s defect affects its safety, function, or resale value
- The issue required 4 or more repair attempts
- The vehicle was out of service for 30 or more total days
- The problem occurred within 2 years of delivery or before 18,000 miles

Common Defects Under Bowling Green Lemon Law
Typical defects that qualify under Lemon Law include:
- Engine stalling, overheating, or vibration

- Steering or braking malfunctions
- Electrical problems (dashboard lights, battery, sensors)
- Air conditioning or heating not functioning properly
