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

Although many types of products can be defective, the term "lemon" is mostly used to describe defective motor vehicles, such as cars, trucks, and motorcycles. Lemon laws originated to protect car buyers since vehicles that constantly have issues create risks and huge headaches.

California's Lemon Law Refund/Buyback Formula The formula is the miles you have driven the vehicle before the first repair attempt, divided by 120,000 (California's determined average for the lifespan of a vehicle) multiplied by the cash price of the vehicle.

In most instances to qualify under a lemon law your vehicle must only have an unreasonable repair history under the warranty, including (but not limited to) 2-4 repair attempts for the same problem, 6 repairs total on the vehicle, or 30 days out of service by reason of repair.

Statute of Limitations Another factor that can affect lemon law claims is timing. The statute of limitations under California's Lemon Law is four years. The clock starts when you first noticed or should have noticed the defect.

The North Carolina lemon law requires that to be eligible, a BBB AUTO LINE claim must be filed within four years from the date the defect is discovered. However, some manufacturers could limit this time period to as soon as one year from the date the defect is discovered.
