This preview is a scripted example. Julie, the live assistant, is an artificial-intelligence assistant, not an attorney, and doesn't give legal advice — you'll be chatting with a bot. See our Terms and Privacy Policy (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §17941).

What lemon law claims recover
Illustrative examples drawn from lemon law cases across the industry — not LemonIQ's own case results.
"The dealership called my transmission rattle 'normal' four times. A certified demand letter citing the statute changed that fast."
"45 days at the dealer waiting on one module. Once I understood my state's lemon law applied, the letter did the rest."
"Didn't know lemon law covered EVs. Documenting the exact fault code got my case moving within days."
Results vary. Past outcomes do not guarantee future results. LemonIQ is not a substitute for the advice of an attorney and does not establish an attorney-client relationship.

How long does it take?
Your window to act is already open — and it closes.
Most lemon laws give you 18–24 months from the day the vehicle was delivered. After that, the window closes permanently — regardless of how many times the dealer failed to fix it.
The clock started the day you drove it off the lot — not the day you realized something was wrong.

Founder & CEO, LemonIQ
When it comes Lemon LawCar manufacturers can often delay so time runs out.Not Anymore!
“I’ve watched multiple family members and lifelong friends spend months to more than a year struggling with cars or trucks that spent more time at the dealer than on the road. Car manufacturers' legal teams know exactly which process and documents to request, which language to use, and how long they can stall and drag things out, hoping the time runs out. Meanwhile my family and friends had no idea where to start — and either gave up or went through endless back and forth cycles, in the end getting less than they expected or deserved for their Lemon of a vehicle.
That felt wrong. So, I spent the next year and a half learning everything I could about what's called the Lemon Law process — so much so that I eventually started LemonIQ to educate average consumers about it and in parallel built a technology platform to automate the filing process, not just for family and friends, but for everyone. Every consumer deserves a fighting chance and entitled to the same lemon law information that car manufacturers and dealers already have.” With LemonIQ we provide you with self-service way to enable yourself to get a positive outcome. The Lemon Law process should be efficient and fair for everyone involved.
