Arizona Lemon Laws

If you buy a vehicle and find it only gives you mechanical problems, you may qualify for help under the "Lemon" law.

Many states have laws that specify if a vehicle qualifies. These rules generally include, for example, that a manufacturer must provide a refund or replacement for a defective new vehicle when the owner has made four attempts to fix the problem. This includes safety defects (two attempts). Or, if the vehicle is out of service for thirty days within the initial 12,000 - 18,000 miles or 12 - 24 months.

When having mechanical issues as described above - keep excellent records. Document everything you do along the way. If a dealership is unwilling to meet your demands under the Lemon Laws your case may go before an arbitrator, who will ask to see your documentation.
