West Virginia Lemon Law Summary

West Virginia Lemon Law Statute covers vehicles for passengers, pickups, trucks, motorcycles and vehicle chassis of motor houses bought in West Virginia usually intended for different purposes (personal, family, or household).

The coverage period is any warranty period or 1 year, 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 (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.
