What is the Ohio Lemon Law
The Ohio 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. A defect or nonconformity that “substantially” impairs a consumer’s use, value, or safety.
- must be reported within the first year or 18,000 miles from the original in service date
2. Must have been subjected to an “unreasonable” number of repair attempts
- vehicle was out of service at least 30 days

OHIO FAQ'S
Does Ohio’s lemon law cover RVs or motorcycles?
Yes, Ohio’s Lemon law can apply to motorcycles and “other noncommercial motor vehicles” so long as they are designed to carry no more than a one ton load and are used exclusively for personal use; and as such RVs would indeed be covered as well.
What is the statute of limitations for filing a lemon law claim in Ohio?
In Ohio, a formal complaint must be filed in court within 5 years from the date of purchase. Other statutes have shorter time frames (such as the Consumer Sales Practices Act and the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act) so it’s best not to delay contacting an attorney. The sooner someone acts, the higher the likelihood that a Lemon Law attorney can help.
How does Ohio’s lemon law handle used cars?
Uniquely, Ohio’s Lemon Law is not limited to new cars. If a vehicle is purchased with low mileage and then second owner still reports the first problem within the first year or 18,000 miles from the original in service date, the Lemon Law still applies. If it is purchased after that time period, the Ohio Lemon Law may not apply, but other consumer protection statutes still very well may provide for compensation. Even if you purchased a vehicle after these parameters expired, you should still call for a free consultation as your case may still be quite valuable!
