Yes, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act protects Floridians who purchase lemons from private sellers. The vehicle must be under warranty to qualify for protection under this law. But that simply means that the defect needs to be reported during the warranty period. And for some vehicles, the warranty period can be as long as a decade.
Under the federal Lemon Law, manufacturers must repair any defects reported while under warranty. This holds true even if the warranty expires before repairs are complete or if the repairs fail to fully fix the issue. If you feel the vehicle you purchased from a private seller is a lemon, we’re happy to review your case free of charge. Contact us today so we can help.
