Florida Lemon Law Summary

Florida Lemon Law Statute covers motor vehicles which are sold, transferred or leased, in the state, and used for personal, family or other purposes. It does not include off-road motor vehicles, mopeds, motorcycles, trucks over 10,000 lbs., and living facilities of motor vehicles for recreation.

The coverage period is the term of 1 year and 6 month, which ever occurs first. Within this period the manufacturer is obliged to repair the nonconforming condition of the motor vehicle.

It is assumed, that an acceptable number of tries haven't been taken to conform a vehicle to the applicable warranties where:

a) the identical defect has been subject to repair 3 (three) times by the manufacturer, within the term the warranty is valid or within 1 (one) year after the date the vehicle is given to the original buyer, but this defect still exists;

b) your vehicle is out of service for 30 (thirty) or more days including the term the warranty is valid or including 1 (one) year after the term the motor vehicle is given to the original buyer. If the repairs can't be made for reasons that are not in the control of the manufacturer or its special agent or legal dealer, the quantity of calendar days required to rise the presumption should be extended.
