What IS THE TEXAS LEMON LAW?
The Texas 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.
In Texas, the Lemon Law specifically covers defective vehicles that have any defect or condition that creates a “serious safety hazard” or that “substantially” impairs the use or market value of the motor vehicle. The “serious safety hazard” means any life-threatening malfunction that substantially impedes a person’s ability to control or operate a vehicle for ordinary use or intended purposes or that creates a substantial risk of fire or explosion. The impairment of market value means a “substantial loss” in market value caused by the defect. Manufacturers must repair these issues within a “reasonable” number of repair attempts. There is a presumption that the repairs were unreasonable if the same issue occurred four or more times (with two of them within 12 months or 12,000 miles following original date of delivery and the other two others within 12 months or 12,000 miles after the second repair attempt); or it is out of service for a cumulative total of 30 or more days within the first 24 months or 24,000 miles with two repair attempts in the first year or 12,000 miles. However, it is worth noting that the 30 day period does not apply if a loaner vehicle was provided.

No! If the vehicle was purchased within the statutory period and had problems, it may still qualify for Lemon Law protection. Or, if the vehicle was purchased with a balance of a manufacturer’s warranty but was outside the Lemon Law period, you may still have a claim under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act for damages if it was subjected to repeated problems!
