The Florida Lemon Law protects consumers from lemons for two (2) years from the purchase or lease date of a new motor vehicle. After this Lemon Law Rights Period, you have an additional sixty (60) days to file an arbitration request. Thus, you have two (2) years and two (2) months after purchasing or leasing a vehicle to file a Lemon Law claim in Florida.
Additionally, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act provides consumers in the State of Florida with five (5) years to file a claim, starting from the date the manufacturer breached its warranty. For lemon vehicles, this often translates to five (5) years from the first failed repair attempt.
