Protect Your Rights with Virginia Lemon Law! Get Expert Legal Help Today!

If your vehicle has a defect that affects its safety, value, or use, and it cannot be repaired after a reasonable number of attempts, Virginia Lemon Law guarantees your right to compensation, including:

• 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, with the possibility of civil penalties up to three times the original amount.

In addition, Virginia Lemon Law ensures that attorney fees are covered, so you won’t face any extra financial stress while pursuing your case.

Virginia 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 such as cars, trucks, motorcycles, SUVs, RVs, and certain business vehicles (under 10,000 lbs).

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

To qualify for Virginia Lemon Law, the defect must:

• Significantly impair the vehicle’s use, market value, or safety, and arise during Virginia’s “lemon law rights period” — 18 months from original delivery, with no separate mileage limit (Va. Code Ann. § 59.1-207.11).
• Survive a reasonable number of repair attempts. Virginia 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 days — both within that same 18-month period. A serious safety defect needs only 1 repair attempt to trigger the presumption (§ 59.1-207.13(B)).
• A lawsuit generally must be filed within that same 18-month rights period itself — one of the shortest windows in the country. If you first pursue the manufacturer’s informal dispute process, you get 12 months from its final decision instead, if that is longer (§ 59.1-207.16).

Virginia Lemon Law covers defects that significantly impair the vehicle’s operation, safety, or value, such as:

• Engine malfunctions
• Transmission issues
• Electrical system failures
• Brake system problems
• Faulty airbags
• Suspension and steering defects

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

Virginia 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 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 for the defect.
