The Pennsylvania Lemon Law applies to new vehicles purchased or leased and registered in Pennsylvania, or registered for the first time in Pennsylvania, that have been back to the shop repeatedly for the same issue or for an extended period of time. Under the Pennsylvania Lemon Law and federal statutes, consumers could be entitled to a brand-new car, complete repurchase, or significant monetary compensation.

Pennsylvania Lemon Law Fast Facts:

The state law covers cars and personal trucks with nonconformities that occur in the first 12 months or 12,000 miles (whichever comes first) that cannot be fixed after a reasonable number of repair attempts (usually three or more). "Nonconformity" is defined as a "defect or issue that impairs the use, safety, or value of the vehicle.

If your vehicle is in the shop for repair 30 days or more in the first 12 months or 12,000 miles (whichever comes first), the Pennsylvania Lemon Law may also apply. These days do not have to be consecutive, nor for the same problem.

Legal representation should always be 100% cost-free, regardless of whether you win or lose. The Pennsylvania Lemon Law states that, if you prevail in your case, the manufacturer is responsible for covering all attorney fees on top of any fair compensation you receive. If you don't win, you still pay nothing.

Remedies under the Pennsylvania Lemon Law include a complete repurchase of the vehicle, a brand-new car, or significant monetary compensation along with continued ownership of the vehicle.

In addition, there are Federal Warranty Statutes for Pennsylvania drivers who fall outside the Lemon Law but still undergo consistent repair attempts within the warranty period. This federal help is also available for PA motorcycle owners.

You may qualify for FREE legal help if: Your problem occurred under an original or extended manufacturer's warranty.

Your vehicle has been in the shop 3+ times for the same issue or out of service for 30+ calendar days.
