Florida’s Lemon Law
The Lemon Law program has proven to be an effective means of recourse for Florida consumers who have purchased or leased NEW
defective autos. Buying a new car is one of the most important and
expensive purchases you will make. If you find yourself going back and
forth to the dealer for frequent repairs, the fun and satisfaction of
owning a new car can quickly change into a frustrating and costly
experience. If you have invested hard-earned cash into a "showroom
lemon," help is just a phone call away.
Recognizing that "new" does not always translate into "problem-free," the Florida Legislature in 1988 revised a law that makes car manufacturers responsible – under certain conditions -- for replacing defective vehicles or refunding consumers’ money. Commonly known as Florida’s automobile "Lemon Law," the Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act established arbitration boards throughout the state to hear and settle complaints between car manufacturers and owners. Consumers who are successful in Florida Lemon Law arbitration have received either refunds or replacement vehicles.
