Work With an Experienced Illinois Lemon Law Attorney Who Gets Results.

Illinois lemon law offers strong protection to new car buyers who find themselves stuck with a defective vehicle. If your vehicle can’t be repaired despite multiple visits to the shop, you may be entitled to:

• Replacement: A similar make and model vehicle of equal value.
• Repurchase: A refund including the down payment, monthly payments, taxes, and fees.
• Cash Settlement: A lump sum payment for your inconvenience or reduced resale value.

Manufacturers may also be required to cover legal costs so you can pursue your case with zero out-of-pocket expenses.

To qualify for Illinois Lemon Law, the defect must:

• Substantially impair the vehicle’s use, market value, or safety.
• Arise during the statutory warranty period — the first 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first (815 ILCS 380).
• Remain unrepaired after four or more attempts at the same repair, or leave the vehicle out of service for a total of 30 or more business days within that period.

You may be eligible if:

• The defect substantially impairs the use, value, or safety of the vehicle.
• The manufacturer has attempted to repair the issue at least two or more times, or
• The vehicle has been out of service for 30 or more cumulative days for warranty repairs.
• Filing deadlines are set by state law and are often much shorter than people expect — some states require action within months, not years. Contact us for a free review of the deadline that applies to your vehicle.
• Be reported while the vehicle is still covered by the manufacturer’s warranty or within your state’s lemon-law rights period — these periods vary by state and can be as short as one year.

A quick review of your repair history can help confirm your eligibility.

Illinois Lemon Law applies to serious defects that interfere with safe operation or performance, including:

• Engine failure or hesitation
• Transmission issues or gear-shifting problems
• Brake failure or excessive wear
• Electrical malfunctions (battery, sensors, warning lights)
• Power steering or suspension issues
• Climate control or HVAC failure
• Fuel system or ignition problems

These defects must remain unresolved after dealer repair attempts and fall under the original manufacturer’s warranty period

Illinois Lemon Law does not cover most used vehicles. However, you might still have legal options if:

• The vehicle is certified pre-owned with a remaining manufacturer’s warranty.
• The dealer misrepresented the condition of the car or failed to disclose known defects.
• The vehicle was sold under false pretenses or violated consumer protection laws.
