Consumers to claim their rights by filing for a defective vehicle under the lemon law. And on prevailing the case, the consumer can either demand replacement of a similar valued car or even a refund.

But before you proceed to deem your car as a lemon, you need to prove it as a lemon. For instance, your car must go through reasonable repair attempts and still should possess the defect. Or your vehicle must have been in the repair shop for a total of 30 days to fix the issue. Later, you need to notify your manufacturer about the defect too. 

When should you notify the manufacturer?

Everyone expects their new vehicle to be perfect, so filing a claim is something that never crosses any consumer’s mind. If you have bought a new car that is exhibiting some trouble with the engine, entertainment system or is even making rattling sounds at a certain speed limit, then be wise and take your car to an authorized repair shop. You do not need to notify the dealership or the automaker about the issue at this point. But make sure to collect the repair records and even keep a log of information and conversations that happened during the repair. 

If the problem was not fixed and the car is required to be returned at the repair shop, then you can proceed with notifying the manufacturer in writing about the issue. But if you were unable to submit written notification, then you will need to wait for one more attempt to repair the defect. After the final repair attempt opportunity, proceed with writing a letter with a detailed description of the defects and also mention the previous unfixable repair attempts. The automaker will have 15 days to sort the issue, or else you can proceed with filing the lemon law claim.

Is there any exception to notifying earlier?

When the defect is substantial and is somehow hampering both your and other’s life on the road like brake failure, seat belt defects, the problem with tires, fire through malfunction, etc. then you do not require to wait for reasonable attempts. You can directly notify the automaker about the defect. At this point, the manufacturer has to repair the defect in your car in one single attempt. If he fails to do so, then you can proceed with filing for the lemon law claim.
