Contact a local lemon law lawyer they will know exactly who to call what paper needs to get done and they will tell you if you have a valid claim. Yes they are going to charge you a few hundred bucks but if you want to lemon law the they are your best bet. Normally a good lawyer can get the company to pay their fee as well as refund you for the car.

Just call toyota and say "I want to file lemon law" and they'll mail you the paper work.

What has been the issue with your car that makes you want to lemon law it?

FirestormFRS 08-09-2014 10:13 PM

I've not read of any successful cases.....doesn't mean there aren't any.

N1rve 08-09-2014 10:36 PM

Talk to a lemon law lawyer, the consultation is usually free and Toyota will pay for ALL of the legal fees.

I've done a lemon law case and won it. It's not hard, and there's no reason to go to court. This is a pre litigation case.

Anyone know where I can get a lawyer for buyers remorse? \s

Doesn't work that way. Only if there's a defect with the car (Ex. Not starting)

I am interested in what issues people have had that would fall under the lemon law catagory.

Lemon law typically needs the car to be in for repair (i.e., unusable or unsafe to drive) for the SAME repair 4 times or out of your possession (in the shop) a total of 30 days -- this is for California at least.

Having interior rattles fixed, the fuel pump replaced under the TSB, condensation in the tail lights, ect... would not fall under the lemon law. Even replacing your transmission (as I have seen people complain about on here) would not fall under the lemon law unless it took them a long time to remedy or many attempts to rectify.

Every state is different and most have a days system for the first 2 years or the same thing breaking multiple times within so many miles. Most people that lemon lawed theirs had the cel/traction light issue. They early cars that had that were in the shop close to a month. The fuel pump, taillights, transmission, oil leaks and deck lid popping all add up days the car is stuck in the shop. Some people have busy schedules and do not have that kinda time to be stuck always dropping off and picking up their car from the shop. It would be better for them to just get a different car with less known issues.

If you're having a lot of issues with your car, but it doesn't qualify as Lemon Law in your state, you can also check out the Better Business Bureau.

My first new car (a '97 Z24) had a terrible rattle in the dash that I took to three different dealers over 10 times to have repaired. It absolutely did not qualify as a Lemon Law issue, however the BBB got in touch with GM and GM bought the car back.

A friend of mine had a '99 Jetta that was P.O.S., and the BBB Auto Line got VW to buy him out of his lease.

It works...

I successfully lemoned out my first FR-S as did another member here. For my situation, the engine failed and after two short blocks with no fix in sight, I got the ball rolling. Look in the owner's manual and it will give you specific instructions for your state.

FT911 08-13-2014 12:55 AM

My engine failed more than a month ago and has been in the shop since. I'm at something like 42 days now I guess that means I qualify right?

Your state has a 1 year 12,000 mile limit. If you are within the first year of ownership and under 12,000 miles and you car has been in the shop more than 30 days (as you stated) you can lemon law the car... your state kinda sucks on the milage/ time owned. most states are 24,000 miles or 2 years of ownership.

Cool thanks, but yeah that's half the time/miles which is lame. It's enough for my car though as I'm only at 6 months/8k miles.

No problem there is also no rule against lemon lawing the car and then buying another fr-s/BRZ. Some people just got ones that have issues so they toss that one and get a different one. Who knows maybe when they built yours it was a monday after a long weekend and all the employees were hung over.

I've had my fuel pump replaced 2x and can easily go for a third. Not that I would but would this qualify for lemoning under the California lemon law?
