Lemon Laws in West Virginia
A "lemon" is a consumer product or appliance with a defect that significantly impairs its functionality that was sold or leased after January 1, 1987. The state of West Virginia mandates that a manufacturer repair or replace defective vehicles.
Your appliance or product must require multiple repairs while under the manufacturer's factory warranty and, in order to deem the defect a substantial impairment, it must render the vehicle:
- Unsafe
- Unreliable for normal use
- Or it must seriously decrease the market value
The National Lemon Law Center can help you find a West Virginia lemon law attorney! Contact us online now.
If the manufacturer is informed of the defect and is unable to conform the vehicle to the standard expressed in the warranty, a full refund or replacement vehicle of comparable value must be given to the consumer.
We have found that most people believe lemon laws only apply to motor vehicles. This is a common misconception and is true for many state lemon laws but is not true of federal law.
Federal Lemon Law applies to all types of consumer products including:
- Cars
- Trucks
- SUVs
- Motorcycles
- RVs
- Boats
- Computers
- And home appliances
Anything that costs $25 or more and came with a written warranty is covered by federal lemon law, more formally known as The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. Used vehicles are covered under the federal lemon law if you have a manufacturer's warranty, original or extended.
Also covered under this act, and perhaps most importantly so, is a fee-shifting provision. If your vehicle, appliance, or other product is deemed a lemon by the court system, the manufacturer will be required to cover all attorney fees.

In 2013, I leased a high-end car, but immediately discovered a number of problems, especially sudden braking or sudden acceleration. After taking the car to various authorized dealerships, none were able to fix the problem. The manufacturer was unwilling to admit that a problem existed. After talking with a number of attorneys, I was impressed that Alex concentrated on lemon-law cases. I sent Alex all of my detailed records, he gave me a likely timeframe, and he was able to get the manufacturer to take the car back within that time-frame. I think highly of his services and would recommend him in such lemon-law cases.Wes

I got screwed on a new car. After fighting the dealership on my own for 6 months and getting nowhere, Alex was able to get me a refund within a reasonable amount of time (about six months, without court). I will use him again if I have to.Jordan R.

My initial hearing with the State Attorney General was dismissed, and I decided to give it one more try through an attorney.I initially contacted the firm in early February 2013. They responded in three days requesting for documents necessary to review the case. Once I sent them the documents, they responded within a week to let me know that they will take the case. by mid-March, they let me know that they are working with the car company. Yesterday (4/16/13), I went out to my local dealership for them to buyback my car. They paid for the remaining balance of my loan, and paid me the difference in check.Throughout the whole process, Mr. Simanovsky directly communicated with me through either by phone or e-mail to let me know what was going on, which I found to be very pleasantly surprising.This was the kind of service that you always hope for, but not normally expected to receive.Thomas B.
