Alabama Lemon Law Attorneys Who Get Results!

Alabama lemon law gives new vehicle owners the right to compensation when their car continues to have issues despite multiple repair attempts. If you’ve tried to fix the same issue more than once and it keeps coming back, you may qualify for:

• Repurchase: A full refund including taxes, fees, and registration costs.
• Replacement: A new vehicle of similar value and features.
• Cash Settlement: Compensation for diminished value or time lost due to repairs.

In many cases, the manufacturer is also required to pay your legal fees if you win.

Alabama Lemon Law applies to:

• New vehicles purchased or leased in Alabama for personal or family use, under a manufacturer’s written express warranty (Ala. Code § 8-20A-1(5)).
• Cars, light trucks, SUVs, and motorcycles — motor homes and vehicles over 10,000 lbs GVWR are excluded by the statute’s own definition (§ 8-20A-1(2)).
• Defects first reported within the lemon law rights period — 1 year or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first (§ 8-20A-1(8)).

Not covered: used vehicles outside the original manufacturer’s warranty, and any defect caused by abuse, neglect, or an unauthorized modification (§ 8-20A-3(b)).

To qualify for Alabama Lemon Law, the defect must:

• Significantly impair the vehicle’s use, value, or safety, and first be reported during Alabama’s “lemon law rights period” — 1 year or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first (Ala. Code § 8-20A-1(8)).
• Survive a reasonable number of repair attempts. Alabama presumes that standard is met when the same defect has been repaired 3 or more times plus a final attempt, or the vehicle has been out of service 30 or more cumulative days — and unlike most states, that count can run all the way out to 24 months or 24,000 miles, as long as at least one attempt happened during the initial 1-year rights period (§ 8-20A-2(c)).
• A lawsuit must be filed within 3 years of the original delivery date (§ 8-20A-6).

Alabama Lemon Law applies to serious defects that interfere with the function or reliability of the vehicle, such as:

• Transmission failure or gear-shifting issues
• Engine stalling or overheating
• Brake problems or noise
• Electrical malfunctions
• HVAC failure (heating/cooling)
• Power steering or suspension issues
• Persistent dashboard warning lights

All qualifying issues must occur under warranty and remain unresolved after attempted repairs.

Alabama Lemon Law does not cover used vehicles, but you may still have options if:

• Your used car was sold with an express manufacturer’s warranty.
• You bought a certified pre-owned vehicle still under original coverage.
• The dealer misrepresented the vehicle’s condition or failed to disclose known issues.
