Virginia Lemon Law Summary

Virginia Lemon Law Statute covers vehicles for passengers, pickups, trucks, motorcycles, chassis of motor houses, "demonstrators" and motor vehicles intended for different purposes (personal, family or household).

The coverage period is the distance of 18,000 miles. 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 (or 1 time if the defect might cause serious injury), 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) 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.
