Minnesota Lemon Law Attorneys

Compensation under the Minnesota Lemon Law

If you have a lemon, the Minnesota Lemon Law entitles you to a refund or a replacement vehicle. Replacement vehicles must be comparable models to the lemon. And you always have the right to reject the replacement in favor of a refund.

Refunds must cover the full purchase price, including all additional charges such as taxes and license and registration fees. The refund must also reimburse you for towing and rental car costs you incur because of the defective vehicle. If you leased your lemon, the refund must cover the amount you actually paid for the vehicle.

However, manufacturers issuing a refund may withhold a reasonable allowance for your use of the vehicle. This allowance is limited to $0.10 per mile you drove the lemon or 10% of the purchase price, whichever is less.

The Lemon Law Process in MN

The Minnesota Lemon Law outlines a detailed process that you must follow in order to make a Lemon Law claim. Because the process can be confusing to those who’ve never made such a claim, it’s in your best interest to contact a Lemon Law attorney to guide you through it.

After a reasonable number of repair attempts fail to resolve the issue, you must notify the manufacturer or dealer in writing, which we can do on your behalf. The note should outline the issue, the failed attempts, and your desire for a refund or replacement vehicle under the Lemon Law. Once you’ve provided such notice, you must give the manufacturer one last opportunity to fix the defect.

Alternative Dispute Settlement Mechanisms

If the manufacturer fails to fix the defect after receiving your written notice, the next step is to bring your case to their alternative dispute settlement mechanism. In simpler language, this mechanism is an arbitration board. You may choose to have a hearing in person or via telephone, but most consumers prefer to just submit the documents that prove their case. The attorneys at Krohn & Moss, Ltd. Consumer Law Center® will handle all aspects of presenting your case for arbitration so you don’t have to do so.

If the arbitration board decides to award you a refund, it must include all of the additional fees outlined above (taxes, rental cars, attorney’s fees, etc.). Decisions of the arbitration board are only binding when agreed upon by all parties. If the manufacturer is unhappy with the decision, they may appeal in court for up to 30 days. Consumers have a full six months to appeal.
