    Getting Your Money Back After Being Sold A Non-Working Vehicle

    A new vehicle that keeps going back to the shop costs you more than the monthly payment. Colorado’s lemon law gives you a legal way to ask for a replacement or a refund when the manufacturer can’t fix it.

    Pursuing Legal Remedies Against Unethical Sellers

    Plenty of buyers pay for repairs out of pocket or give up after another trip to the service bay. You don’t have to. We put the manufacturer on notice, keep track of every repair, and press the claim so the company that built the vehicle answers for it.

    Judgment Or Settlement & Begin Collecting Your Money

    Whether your claim settles or goes to court, we stay on it until the replacement or refund actually arrives. You won’t be left chasing the manufacturer on your own after the paperwork is signed.

    Different Types Of Lemon Cases We Handle:

    Colorado’s lemon law covers new passenger vehicles, including cars, SUVs, pickup trucks and vans. Since 2024 it also covers vehicles a small business uses for both work and personal driving. It doesn’t cover motor homes or vehicles on three or fewer wheels, like motorcycles. For those, and for boats and off-road vehicles, a claim may still exist under the written warranty and federal warranty law. Tell us what you bought and we’ll tell you which law applies.

    Get Your Lemon Law Refund

    Colorado gives you 30 months from the day the vehicle was delivered to file a lemon law claim, and time the vehicle spends in the shop doesn’t count against that. Repair orders and notice letters carry the case, so the sooner you call, the easier it is to put the record together.

    What We Handle

    Colorado Lemon Law Lawyers

    Holding Manufacturers To Their Warranties

    Lemon law cases turn on paperwork: repair orders, dates, mileage, and what the manufacturer was told and when. We gather that record, measure it against the statute, and use it to press for a replacement or a refund.

    How Does a Car Qualify For Lemon Law In Colorado?

    Colorado updated its lemon law in 2024. A new vehicle is presumed to be a lemon when the manufacturer can’t fix a warranty defect within the first two years or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first, after three failed repairs of the same defect. A defect that affects safety only needs two failed repairs. A vehicle that has spent 24 or more business days out of service for repairs also qualifies. The law looks at serious defects, and whether yours counts is one of the first things we check.

    Can A Colorado Lemon Law Lawyer Protect My Rights?

    Yes. Manufacturers handle lemon claims all the time, and they have people whose job is to keep payouts low. An attorney who knows the statute makes sure the notice goes out correctly, the deadlines are met, and any offer is measured against what the law actually allows, including the formula for how much can be deducted for your use of the vehicle. You’ll have someone reading the fine print for you, and you won’t be negotiating alone.

    When Should I Hire a Lemon Law Attorney In Colorado?

    Early. If your vehicle has been back to the shop more than once for the same problem, or a safety defect still isn’t fixed, it’s time to call. Records are easier to collect while they’re recent, and the 30-month filing deadline keeps running while you wait. The case evaluation is free.

    A Colorado Lemon Lawsuit Can Potentially Get You The Following Benefits

    If your vehicle qualifies, the manufacturer has to either replace it with a comparable vehicle or take it back and refund the purchase price, minus an allowance for your use of it.

    Frequently Asked Lemon Law Questions

    Within the first two years or 24,000 miles, a new vehicle is presumed to be a lemon after three failed repairs of the same defect, two failed repairs of a safety defect, or 24 or more business days out of service. If you’re close to one of those numbers, send us your repair history and we’ll take a look.
    You can bring a claim on your own, but the manufacturer will have people who handle these claims every day. An attorney makes sure the written notice, the final repair attempt and the filing deadline are handled correctly, and checks how the refund and use allowance are calculated. That keeps a simple mistake from costing you the claim.
    It starts with written notice to the manufacturer describing the defect and asking for a replacement or a refund. The manufacturer then gets a final chance to repair the vehicle. If that repair fails, the claim moves forward, and you have 30 months from delivery to file it. We handle the notice and the timeline for you.
    A buyback is when the manufacturer takes the vehicle back and refunds what you paid, including sales tax, license and registration fees, minus an allowance for the miles you drove it. Since 2024, Colorado law sets a formula for that allowance. The other remedy is a comparable replacement vehicle. When a dealer resells a bought-back vehicle, it has to carry a “Lemon Law Buyback” decal and a note on its title.

    What Is The Federal Lemon Law?

    The federal lemon law is the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. § 2301 and following). It applies in every state and covers written warranties on consumer products, including new and used vehicles. Colorado’s own lemon law is C.R.S. § 42-10-101 and following. When a case fits both, we use both, along with the terms of the manufacturer’s warranty, to build your claim.
