Compress Legal Ohio Lemon Law Forms For Free

You are covered by Ohio's Lemon Law if the problems with your new motor vehicle occurred in the first 12 months or first 18,000 miles, whichever comes first. If you have problems with your vehicle during this protection period, take the vehicle back to the dealer or the manufacturer and ask them to fix it.

Lemon law protections hinge on protections offered by the vehicle's original manufacturer-provided warranty. If the vehicle is resold to a private buyer within the original warranty period, the consumer can still report any defect to the manufacturer if the defect occurs during the warranty period.

Is There a Lemon Law in Ohio for Used Cars? Yes, Ohio Lemon Law covers used cars, but the reporting period is based on the original purchase date. Thus, you (or a previous owner) must report the defect within one year and 18,000 miles of when the original owner purchased the car.

As a recap, some of the most common things that can void the Lemon Law in California include: Abuse and neglect by an owner that causes a vehicle defect. Adding after-market parts and modifications that result in a defective vehicle. Failure to make a reasonable number of attempts to have the vehicle repaired.

To qualify under the Ohio Lemon Law or the federal Lemon Law, you must generally have a product that suffered multiple repair attempts under the manufacturer's factory warranty. Lemon Law compensation can include a refund, replacement or cash compensation.
