What Georgia’s Lemon Law Covers

Georgia’s Lemon Law is codified under O.C.G.A. § 10‑1‑781 et seq. It provides protection to purchasers or lessees of new motor vehicles when those vehicles exhibit defects or conditions that materially impair their use, safety, or value, and which cannot be fixed after a reasonable number of repair attempts. Manufacturers must repair, replace, or repurchase the defective vehicle under the statute.

The law applies to most types of new passenger vehicles, including SUVs and light trucks, and also to leases in Georgia. It does not typically cover used vehicles unless they remain under manufacturer warranty or qualify under other consumer laws.

Qualifying a Vehicle as a Lemon in Georgia

To bring a Georgia Lemon Law claim, a vehicle generally must satisfy these criteria:

1. New or demonstrator vehicle, purchased or leased in Georgia
2. A substantial defect or condition that impairs use, safety, or value
3. The defect must manifest within the Lemon Law rights period
4. You must provide a reasonable number of repair attempts
5. The defect remains unresolved or recurs after those attempts
6. You must give the manufacturer a final opportunity to repair

If these are satisfied, you may be entitled to a refund or vehicle replacement, plus costs.

Common Defects in Lemon Claims

These are defects frequently litigated under Georgia’s Lemon Law:

• Transmission slipping, failure, or delayed shifting
• Engine stalling, misfiring, or loss of power
• Electrical and computer problems (warning lights, sensors, infotainment)
• Safety system failures (airbags, ABS, braking components)
• Leaks (coolant, oil, transmission fluid) unresolvable
• Structural or body defects (doors, alignment, seals)
• HVAC, heating/cooling, or air conditioning failure

Even intermittent issues may qualify if they affect your ability to use or value of the vehicle, and if the manufacturer can’t fix them.

What You Can Recover Under Georgia Lemon Law

A successful Lemon Law claim in Georgia may yield:

• A full refund including purchase price, sales tax, registration, dealer fees
• A replacement vehicle of comparable make and model
• Towing and rental car costs while the vehicle undergoes repair
• Attorney’s fees and court costs (if provided under the statute or warranty)
• Other costs or damages incidental to your defect

We structure demands strategically to maximize each recoverable category.

Procedural Steps & Deadlines You Must Know

Repair Attempts & Notice

To preserve your claim, you often must allow the manufacturer a final repair opportunity after repeated unsuccessful attempts. Georgia courts may require written notice or good-faith efforts.

Statute of Limitations

Lemon Law claims must be filed within prescribed periods. In Georgia, you often must bring suit within one year after the statutory rights period expires, though related warranty or contract claims may allow different windows.

Delays are dangerous. If you wait too long, your claim rights may vanish.

Used Cars & Other Legal Remedies

Used vehicles are usually not protected under Georgia’s Lemon Law. However, you may still have recourse through:

• Express or implied warranties
• Fraud or misrepresentation by the seller or dealer
• Negligent or deceptive repair practices
• Violation of consumer protection statutes

We thoroughly review each case to identify viable legal paths beyond Lemon Law.

Types of Vehicles Covered

Georgia’s Lemon Law typically covers:

• New cars, SUVs, and light trucks
• Leased vehicles (if leased new in Georgia)
• Hybrids and electric vehicles
• Demonstrators sold by dealers

Heavy commercial vehicles, trailers, RVs, and off-road vehicles may not qualify under the statute but may have other legal routes.
