Get the Best Rhode Island Lemon Law Attorney to Protect Your Rights!

If your vehicle has a defect that affects its safety, value, or use, and it cannot be fixed after several attempts, Rhode Island Lemon Law guarantees your right to:

• Replacement: A new vehicle of the same make and model.
• Repurchase: A full refund, including taxes and fees, minus a mileage deduction.
• Cash Settlement: Compensation for the defect’s impact on the vehicle’s value, plus potential civil penalties up to three times the original amount.

Additionally, Rhode Island Lemon Law ensures that attorney fees are covered, so you can pursue your claim without incurring extra financial costs.

Rhode Island Lemon Law applies to:

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

Exclusions may apply to minor defects or issues caused by misuse or unauthorized alterations.

To qualify for Rhode Island Lemon Law, the defect must:

• Be reported during the “term of protection” — 1 year or 15,000 miles from original delivery, whichever comes first (R.I. Gen. Laws § 31-5.2-1).
• Survive a reasonable number of repair attempts. Rhode Island 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 calendar days — both within the term of protection (§ 31-5.2-3).
• The manufacturer gets one final 7-calendar-day opportunity to cure, even after the term of protection ends.
• A lawsuit must be commenced within 3 years of original delivery, or 2 years after reaching 15,000 miles, whichever is earlier (§ 31-5.2-12).

Rhode Island Lemon Law covers defects that significantly affect the operation, safety, or value of the vehicle, such as:

• Engine failure
• Transmission problems
• Brake system failure
• Electrical malfunctions
• Faulty airbags
• Suspension or steering defects

These defects must persist despite reasonable repair attempts and should be covered by the vehicle’s warranty.

Rhode Island Lemon Law applies to used vehicles if the following conditions are met:

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

If your used vehicle qualifies, we will help you pursue compensation.
