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.

A lemon is a new motor vehicle that has one or more problems, covered by the warranty, that substantially impair the use, value or safety of that vehicle. The problems must occur within the first year or first 18,000 miles, whichever comes first.

For further information or to file a consumer complaint, write to the Ohio Attorney General's Consumer Protection Office, 30 East Broad Street, 14th Floor, Columbus, Ohio 43215-3428, or call the toll-free Help Line at 1-800-282-0515. For online information or to file a complaint, consult .OhioAttorneyGeneral.gov.

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.

The dealer is supposed to get an inspection prior to the sale so you may be able to get them in trouble with the DMV. You can return the vehicle under the UCC by revoking your acceptance of the good under NCGS 25-2-608 where the nonconformity could not have been discovered or was concealed prior to sale.

Ohio Lemon Laws and the federal Lemon Law (the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act) provide for compensation to Ohio consumers of defective automobiles and trucks and other vehicles and products including motorcycles, RV's, boats, computers and other consumer appliances and products.
