Protect Your Rights Under Hawaii Lemon Law with Our Expert Legal Team!

If you’ve purchased or leased a vehicle in Hawaii with a defect that affects its safety, value, or use, and it cannot be fixed after a reasonable number of attempts, Hawaii Lemon Law guarantees you the right to:

• Replacement: Receive a new vehicle of the same make and model.
• Repurchase: Get a full refund, including taxes and fees, minus a mileage deduction.
• Cash Settlement: Receive compensation for the defect’s impact on the vehicle’s value, plus potential civil penalties.

Hawaii law also requires manufacturers to cover attorney fees, so you won’t incur any additional legal costs while pursuing your claim.

Hawaii Lemon Law applies to:

• New and certified pre-owned vehicles still under the manufacturer’s warranty.
• Used vehicles with a remaining factory warranty.
• Vehicles including cars, trucks, motorcycles, SUVs, RVs, and certain business vehicles (under 10,000 lbs).

Exclusions may apply for minor defects, damages caused by misuse, or modifications not authorized by the manufacturer.

To qualify for Hawaii Lemon Law, the defect must:

• Be reported during Hawaii’s “lemon law rights period” — the warranty term, or 2 years / 24,000 miles from original delivery, whichever expires first (Haw. Rev. Stat. § 481I-2).
• Survive a reasonable number of repair attempts. Hawaii presumes that standard is met when the same defect has been repaired 3 or more times, or the vehicle has been out of service 30 or more cumulative business days — both within the rights period. A defect likely to cause death or serious injury needs only 1 repair attempt (§ 481I-3(d)).
• A lawsuit must be filed within 1 year after the lemon law rights period expires (§ 481I-3).

Hawaii Lemon Law covers defects that affect the vehicle’s safety, operation, or value, including:

• Engine failure
• Brake system issues
• Electrical system problems
• Airbag defects
• Faulty transmission
• Steering or suspension defects

These defects must persist after reasonable repair attempts and should be covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.

If you purchase a used vehicle that is still covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, Hawaii Lemon Law may apply:

• 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 help you secure compensation.
