What is the New York Lemon Law
The New York Lemon Law specifically protects consumers of defective motor vehicles that have warrantable defects that “substantially” impair your use, value, or safety; and have been subjected to an “unreasonable” number of repair attempts, and that the problem was reported within a specified time period after the original in service date.
What Vehicles Qualify?
1. vehicles that are sold in New York and registered in New York.
2. have issues in the first two years or 18,000 miles from the original in service date
3. A manufacturer must repair the defect within a “reasonable” number of repair attempts.
- the number of attempts was unreasonable if it was subjected to four or more repairs for the same problem and continues to exist or that it was out of service for at least 30 days.

NEW YORK FAQ'S
What happens if a manufacturer refuses to comply with a lemon law arbitration ruling in NY?
Refusing to comply with an arbitration decision would open up the manufacturer to additional liabilities. Most notably, for attorney’s fees to be awarded, a plaintiff has to show why those fees were “reasonably necessary” so any fees the manufacturer would have to pay. In New York, these decisions are binding on both parties, absent appeal, and so a manufacturer refusing to comply would be exceedingly rare since they are in breach of a legally binding and enforceable decision.
How does the lemon law arbitration process work in New York?
The New York State Dispute Resolution Association manages the arbitration process. Generally you file a request through the New York Attorney General and pay a filing fee. An arbitrator is appointed and the administrator notifies the manufacturer and dealer of the claim and provide them a chance to respond, and you a subsequent opportunity to reply. Then, parties can engage in pre-hearing discovery and then have a hearing before the arbitrator, who makes a decision. Then, each side has to decide within 20 days if they would like to file for a modification, or file an appeal of the decision.
What are the mileage limits for the first reported problem to receive lemon law coverage in New York?
In New York, the nonconformity must be reported within the first two years or 18,000 miles from when the vehicle is purchased to be eligible for a repurchase or replacement under the Lemon Law. However, there are other breach of warranty and consumer protection statutes that can provide relief, and can actually be quite valuable, even if the first report was outside of that time period. If you have multiple repairs but they were after the Lemon Law period expired, you should still call as the cases still very well may have value.
