The Lemon Law Detective - Company Information, Policies, and Disclaimers

What is the North Carolina Lemon Law?

The North Carolina lemon law protects the consumer from defects in motor vehicles that substantially impair its use, value, or safety. Generally speaking, if the vehicle has been repaired 2 to 4 times for the same defect within the warranty period and the defect has not been fixed, the car qualifies as a Lemon. All states differ, so consult our North Carolina Summary below. Please be aware that the warranty period may not coincide with the Manufacturer's Warranty.

North Carolina Lemon Law Summary

Vehicles Covered

Any new motor vehicle other than a house trailer, provided that the vehicle does not have a gross vehicle wight of 10,000 pounds or more. This includes pickup trucks, motorcycles and most vans.

Repair Interval

Four (4) repair attempts or more than 20 days out of service during any 12 month period.

Often times, your new car isn't expected of being a Lemon until it is too late (out of

warranty, over the mileage, etc.). If you keep a record of every repair visit, starting with the first one, you will protect your rights under the Consumer Laws. Document everything, including who you talk to, what is said, dates and times.
