What Is Considered A Reasonable Number Of Attempts To Repair Under Alaska Lemon Law?

First, for a single defect or condition that defies repairs, the Lemon Law says:

The same nonconformity has been subject to repair three or more times by the manufacturer, distributor, dealer or repairing agent during the term of the express warranty or the oneyear period after delivery of the motor vehicle to the original owner, whichever period terminates first, but the nonconformity continues to exist.

Second, for a motor vehicle that has been out of service for an unreasonable period of time due to a single or multiple defects, the Lemon Law says:

The vehicle is out of service for repair for a total of 30 or more business days during the express warranty term or the oneyear period referred to in (1) of this section, whichever period terminates first.
