What Qualifies for Lemon Law in Louisiana?

Every state has lemon laws, although the details are unique to each state. Under the Louisiana’s lemon laws, manufacturers have a legal duty to repair a defect in a new vehicle. The law protects consumers who purchased a defective vehicle, motor home, all-terrain vehicle, personal watercraft, or recreational vehicle with a defect that substantially impairs the market value, use of the vehicle, or both.

Under the Louisiana lemon law statutes, you have legal rights if:

• The vehicle was out of service for 90 or more days
• Repairs have been attempted on the same defect four or more times
• Repairs were performed within the warranty period or within one year of purchase

There is a deadline for filing claims under Louisiana lemon law. You must file a claim within three years of the date of purchase or one year from the end of the vehicle warranty, whichever is later. If you do not file a claim within the time period stated in the statute, you may forfeit your right to compensation under Louisiana’s lemon law statutes.

The compensation available under lemon laws in Louisiana may include a full refund of the purchase price, replacement of the vehicle with a new one, or cash compensation.
