Wisconsin Lemon Law

WI Lemon Law Guide for Automobile, Motorcycle, Car, Motor Home, Truck and RV. If your new or leased car cannot be repaired, it may be covered by the State Lemon Law.

If a new motor vehicle turns out to be a “lemon,” the manufacturer must replace the vehicle or refund the purchase price. (For details, see Wisconsin Statutes section 218.0171.) A new vehicle is a “lemon” if all the following apply:

• The vehicle is no more than a year old, and still under warranty.
• The vehicle has a serious defect that the dealer cannot fix in four tries, or has one or more defects that prevent the consumer from using it for 30 days or more. A defect is one that seriously affects the use, value or safety of the vehicle, and is covered by the warranty. An irritating rattle may not be serious enough to make a car a “lemon.” But stalling probably is.

A consumer may take court action to enforce his or her rights under the “lemon law.” But if a manufacturer has an informal dispute settlement procedure certified by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, the consumer must use that procedure before going to court. For more information, contact the Wisconsin Department of Transportation.
