In Georgia, the issue needs to be reported within 24k miles or two years, whichever occurs first.

The Georgia Lemon Law:
The vehicle must be purchased, leased, or registered in Georgia.
Covers new motor vehicles or demonstration vehicles, if titled as new.
Covers new trucks up to 12,000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating and the self-propelled and chassis
portion of new motor homes.
Covers nonconformities first reported within the lemon law rights period, which is the first two years
or 24,000 miles of operation of the vehicle, whichever occurs first.
A vehicle may qualify under the lemon law after the manufacturer or its authorized dealer has been
given a reasonable number of attempts to repair the same nonconformity within the lemon law rights
period, but has not been able to repair the nonconformity.
Under the lemon law, a reasonable number of attempts is deemed to be: (a.) one attempt, if the
nonconformity is a serious safety defect; (b.) three attempts, if the nonconformity, although not a
serious safety defect, substantially impairs the use, value, or safety of the vehicle; or, (c.) a
cumulative total of 30 days during which the vehicle is out of service for repair of one or more
nonconformities.
After a reasonable number of attempts to repair a serious safety defect or any other nonconformity
(either a. or b. above), the consumer must notify the manufacturer and provide the manufacturer
with a final opportunity to repair the nonconformity.
If the manufacturer fails to correct the nonconformity after the final repair attempt, or if the vehicle is
out of service by reason of repair of one or more nonconformities for a cumulative total of 30 days,
the consumer may be eligible for a refund for the purchase price of the vehicle or a replacement
vehicle.
It is very important to keep copies of all work orders, reports (such as vehicle inspection, diagnosis,
or test drive reports) and written correspondence with the manufacturer. Remember, you are entitled
to receive a fully itemized and legible statement or repair order each time you take your vehicle in for
diagnosis or repair.
To assert your rights under the law, other requirements may apply. For further information, contact
the Governor’s Office of Consumer Protection.
