How Arizona treats Lemon Law
Arizona's lemon law protects buyers of new vehicles with defects affecting safety, use, or value discovered within one year of purchase or during the warranty period. The manufacturer must be given two repair attempts for the same defect or four total repair attempts to fix any defects. If the manufacturer fails to repair the vehicle, the consumer can demand a refund or replacement. Arizona law also covers used vehicles if they are still under the manufacturer's warranty.
The general definition of Lemon Law
State laws protecting consumers who buy defective vehicles that the manufacturer cannot repair.
Lemon laws are consumer protection statutes that give buyers the right to a refund or replacement if they purchase a new vehicle with serious defects that the manufacturer cannot fix within a reasonable number of attempts. These laws vary by state but generally apply to vehicles still under warranty. If a car qualifies as a lemon, the manufacturer must either replace it or refund the purchase price, minus a small deduction for mileage. Lemon laws protect consumers from being stuck with expensive, unreliable vehicles.
