I just bought a new car and the air conditioning isn’t working. How can I get a new car under the Lemon Law?

You must meet a few requirements to be covered under the "N.C. Lemon Law":

1. Your car must be sold and purchased as a new vehicle
2. The issue needing repair must have happened within 24 months/24,000 miles of the original date of purchase
3. The same issue has happened at least 4 times or has been in the shop for 20 days for different issues within 1 year. 
4. You must notify the manufacturer (not the dealer) in writing of each time your car needs to be repaired.

Once you meet these requirements you are able to recover either:

1. The amount that it costs to repair the vehicle. You can get 3 times this amount if the manufacturer unreasonably refused to comply with your request to repair. 
2. OR a new and comparable vehicle
3. OR  the full contract price

There are certain requirements that must be met before filing suit against a car manufacturer so contact my office if you have been wronged by a dealership or car manufacturer at Kisala Watkins Law Group, PLLC
