Florida Lemon Law
Florida’s Lemon Law protects people who buy or lease a new vehicle when a covered defect cannot be fixed after a reasonable number of repair attempts during the first 24 months after delivery, the Lemon Law rights period. If the car qualifies, you can get a refund or a replacement vehicle. Here is how it works in Florida.
Is your car a lemon in Florida?
A new car is presumed a lemon when a covered defect meets this test:
Your car is presumed a lemon. Florida lets you claim a refund or a comparable replacement vehicle, and you can use the state-run arbitration program to get there.
One required step: before the presumption applies, you must give the manufacturer written notice by certified mail and a final chance to repair the defect within the timeframe the law allows.
