How to File a Lemon Law Case
Documentation Needed for a Lemon Law Case
Proof of Vehicle Ownership or Lease Agreement
You must show that you purchased or leased the vehicle and the date of the transaction. This includes your purchase contract or lease agreement, as well as title or registration documents. These records confirm key details, including the VIN, make, model, and delivery date. If you leased the vehicle, payment history can also help verify your interest in the vehicle.
Repair Records and Work Orders
Repair orders show how many times your vehicle was brought in for the same issue and what the dealership attempted to fix. Each repair visit should include a description of the complaint, diagnosis, and repairs performed. These records demonstrate that the manufacturer was given reasonable opportunities to repair the defect. Missing or incomplete work orders can weaken your claim.
Warranty Information and Manufacturer Communications
Your warranty proves the vehicle was covered when the defect first occurred. This includes the original warranty booklet, any extended warranty agreements, and service contract paperwork. Communications with the manufacturer or dealership via emails, letters, and call logs can also strengthen your case. These may show repeated complaints, denied repairs, or warranty disputes.
Proof of Financial Impact
Lemon Law also considers the real-world costs you’ve suffered because of the vehicle. Save receipts for towing, rental cars, out-of-pocket repairs, and other related expenses. If you missed work due to breakdowns or repair visits, documentation of lost wages can support your claim. These records help demonstrate how the defect affected your finances and daily life, which helps determine remedies.
