The Connecticut Lemon Law applies to passenger and commercial vehicles, purchased and leased in Connecticut, which suffer a nonconformity; a defect or condition, which substantially impairs the use, value or safety; that cannot be repaired within four attempts by an authorized manufacturer’s dealership. It also covers vehicles that are in two times for a serious safety defect. This nonconformity must first occur within the first 24 months or 18,000 miles, whichever comes first, and can continue throughout the original and/or extended manufacturers warranty period. Connecticut’s Lemon Law also applies to vehicles that are in the shop for repair thirty (30) or more calendar days during the first 18,000 miles or 24 months (whichever comes first) and these days do not have to be consecutive.
It is important to remind you that even if your car falls outside of the limitations established by the Connecticut state Lemon Law, there are still Federal lemon laws which apply known as the Magnusen-Moss Warranty Act.. If your car has an original or extended manufacturer’s warranty and has a problem that cannot be fixed after three repair attempts, chances are that a lemon law attorney can help.
