The Arizona Legislature has enacted a collection of laws meant to protect the consumer when they are purchasing new vehicles. These laws are collectively known as Lemon Laws and can be used to fight for compensation when you have been sold a new car that has problems. While these laws are not all-encompassing, they cover most new car problems which cannot be fixed by the dealership that you purchased the car from.
Arizona law provides an implied warranty of fitness and merchantability on the purchase of a used car from a dealer for the limited time of 15 days or 500 miles. If you bought a used car and immediately began having major problems, you may be entitled to a complete refund and a return of the vehicle.
Making a Lemon Law claim when you have new car problems can be a complicated task. Most car manufacturers are large companies, and they won’t let these claims be made without a fight.
A successful Lemon Law claim requires a well-documented case. This includes showing all of the times that you have taken the vehicle to the dealership for repairs in order to prove that a “Reasonable Number of Repairs” have been made. It also includes proving that the new car problems which you are having are in fact substantial defects.
