Get Started

If you’ve purchased a vehicle in Delaware that has a significant defect that can’t be repaired, Delaware Lemon Law offers protection.

You have the right to seek a replacement vehicle, a refund, or cash compensation. In certain cases, you could even be entitled to civil penalties up to three times the original compensation amount.

Your Rights Under Delaware Lemon Law

Under Delaware Lemon Law, if your vehicle has a defect that affects its safety, value, or use, and it can’t be repaired after a reasonable number of attempts, you are entitled to compensation. The law provides the following options:

  • Replacement: A new vehicle of the same make and model.
  • Repurchase: A full refund of your purchase price, including taxes and fees, minus a mileage deduction.
  • Cash Settlement: Compensation for the diminished value of your vehicle, with potential civil penalties up to three times the original amount.

Delaware Lemon Law also ensures manufacturers cover attorney fees, so you can pursue your claim without added costs.

What Vehicles Are Covered by Delaware Lemon Law?

Delaware Lemon Law applies to:

  • New and certified pre-owned vehicles under the manufacturer’s warranty.
  • Used vehicles that are sold with remaining factory warranties.
  • Vehicles like cars, trucks, motorcycles, SUVs, RVs, and select business vehicles (under 10,000 lbs).

Exclusions apply for minor defects, misuse, or unauthorized modifications.

How to Qualify for Delaware Lemon Law?

To qualify for Delaware Lemon Law, the defect must:

  • Be reported during the express warranty term or 1 year from original delivery, whichever ends first (6 Del. Code § 5002).
  • Survive a reasonable number of repair attempts. Delaware presumes that standard is met when the same defect has been repaired 4 or more times, or the vehicle has been out of service 30 or more cumulative calendar days — both within that same warranty term or first year (§ 5004).
  • A written document describing the nonconformity must be prepared each time the manufacturer, its agent, or dealer attempts a repair.

Delaware’s lemon law statute does not set its own lawsuit filing deadline. Ask us and we’ll tell you where that leaves your timeline.

Types of Defects Covered by Delaware Lemon Law

Delaware Lemon Law covers a range of defects that impact the vehicle’s operation or safety, including:

  • Engine failure
  • Brake system failure
  • Transmission issues
  • Electrical malfunctions
  • Airbag defects
  • Steering and suspension issues

These defects must persist after a reasonable number of repair attempts and be covered by the vehicle’s warranty.

Lemon Law for Used Cars in Delaware

Delaware Lemon Law applies to used vehicles as long as the following criteria are met:

  • The defect must still be covered by the original manufacturer’s warranty.
  • The defect must affect the vehicle’s safety, value, or use.
  • The defect must remain unresolved after reasonable repair attempts.

If your used vehicle qualifies, we’ll work to get you the compensation you deserve.
