Georgia Lemon Law Summary

Georgia Lemon Law Statute covers all motor vehicles, primarily produced for the transportation of people and property, leased, bought or registered in this state. Does not include motor homes, motorcycles or trucks with 10,000 lbs. or more GVWR.

The coverage period is the term of one year or the distance of 12,000 miles, 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 (or 1 time for a severe nonconformity, connected with the brakes or steering system) 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.
