Understanding the Illinois Lemon Law
The Illinois Lemon Law covers the following vehicles:- New cars (purchased or leased).
- Light trucks and vans weighing fewer than 8,000 pounds.
- Recreational vehicles (excluding trailers).
- Vehicles in their first 12 months or 12,000 miles (whichever occurs first).
- Vehicles purchased in Illinois.
- Used cars.
- Altered or modified vehicles.
- Motorcycles.
- Boats.
- Be out of service for a minimum of 30 days.
- Possess a defect that alters the value, use, or safety of the vehicle and remains a problem after four auto repair attempts by a mechanic.
Filing a Lemon Law Claim
To file a claim you must contact the vehicle's manufacturer, not the dealer. Many Illinois car owners have lost the possibility of Lemon Law protection by trying to initiate the process with the dealer only to discover after the 12-month window has closed that it was the manufacturer who needed to be contacted.Because there are other federal and state laws on the books regarding warranties and contracts for new products, Illinois officials strongly encourage consulting a lemon law lawyer for deciding which course of action to take. A Lemon Law attorney is experienced with the ins and outs of the state’s Lemon Laws and can make sure you receive the compensation the law affords you for being sold a lemon car.
