According to A.R.S. § 44-1264, it is presumed that a reasonable number of attempts have been undertaken to conform a motor vehicle to the applicable express warranties under the Arizona Lemon Law if either:
  1. The same nonconformity has been subject to repair four or more times by the manufacturer or its agents or authorized dealers during the shorter of the express warranty term or the period of two years or twenty-four thousand miles following the date of original delivery of the motor vehicle to the consumer, whichever is earlier, but the nonconformity continues to exist. or;
  2. The motor vehicle is out of service by reason of repair for a cumulative total of thirty or more calendar days during the shorter of the express warranty term or the two year period or twenty-four thousand miles, whichever is earlier.
In order to apply this presumption a consumer must have given previous written warning to the manufacturer of the vehicle’s defect. The Arizona Lemon Law provides that these presumptions do not apply against a manufacturer unless the manufacturer has been given written notice from or on behalf of the consumer of the alleged defect and has had an opportunity to cure the alleged defect.
Meeting the Arizona Lemon Law’s presumptions is not required to have a valid AZ Lemon Law claim. With that being said, having either of the Arizona Lemon Law’s presumptions met is helpful because it shifts the burden of proof under the AZ Lemon Law from the consumer to the car’s manufacturer. This is an additional advantage that the Arizona Lemon Law provides consumers.

Applicable Statute of Limitations for the Arizona Lemon Law
The AZ Lemon Law’s protections are available in the first 2 years or 24,000 of a vehicle’s ownership and 6 months beyond that.
For a consumer to exercise his or her rights under the Arizona Lemon Law, the consumer must: (i) report the warranty problem to the manufacturer, its agent or its authorized dealer or issuer of a warranty, AND (ii) begin an Arizona Lemon Law action within six months following the earlier of: (a) expiration of the express warranty term, or (b) two years or 24,000 miles following the date of delivery of the vehicle to the consumer, whichever is earlier.
Those consumers that may be timed out of the Arizona Lemon Law, may still find


Looks like very consumer friendly lemon laws in AZ.
