Wisconsin Lemon Laws

All consumer products and appliances sold or leased after January 1, 1987 with defects that substantially impair their functionality are considered "lemons" in the eyes of the law. The defect must render it unsafe or unreliable for normal use, or severely decrease the market value. The appliance or product must require multiple repairs while under the manufacturer's factory warranty to qualify under Lemon Law. It is a common belief that lemon laws only apply to cars and trucks. This is somewhat true.

What Does Lemon Law Cover?

In some states only new cars and trucks are covered; however, according to The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, lemon laws legally apply on the federal level to all types of consumer products including motorcycles, boats, computers, home appliances, motor homes, as well as numerous other appliances and products. Unlike under state law, used vehicles are covered under the federal lemon law if you have a manufacturer's warranty, original or extended.

Does Wisconsin Have a Lemon Law?

According to Wisconsin Lemon Law, if a manufacturer is unable to permanently fix the defect after a reasonable number of attempts, it must accept the return of the motor vehicle and replace it with a comparable new motor vehicle and refund all repair costs and any expenses incurred by obtaining alternative transportation. The manufacturer may also accept the return of the vehicle and refund all purchase costs including taxes, fees, collateral costs, etc. It is important that you make sure all repairs are made by the manufacturer, dealership, or other authorized diagnostic center.

Statute of Limitations

If you are the not-so-proud owner or leaser of a lemon, it is crucial that you speak with a Wisconsin lemon law attorney as soon as possible.

    "I think highly of their services and would recommend them for any lemon law case."
    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.

    "I was screwed on a new car and they helped get a refund!"
    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.

    "National Lemon Law Center provided me excellent service during the entire process."
    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.
