What's Next?
If your vehicle meets all of the criteria, your next step is to file a complaint with the Division of Consumer Protection in the Department of Commerce.
The complaint must furnish two signed and notarized affidavits from two different certified mechanics that have witnessed the mechanical problems or defects.
After your vehicle is determined to be a lemon by the Division, you qualify for either a replacement or a cash refund. The manufacturer has the right to charge you a reasonable amount for use of the vehicle, usually 10 to 23 cents per mile. You can have the Division try to obtain restitution for you or you can take private action with your own attorney.
