22 Warranty Enforcement Laws (Lemon Laws)
NEW JERSEY LEMON LAW DISCLOSURE
IMPORTANT: IF THIS VEHICLE HAS A DEFECT THAT SUBSTANTIALLY IMPAIRS
ITS USE, VALUE OR SAFETY, OR THAT IS LIKELY TO CAUSE DEATH OR SERIOUS
BODILY INJURY IF DRIVEN, AND WAS PURCHASED, LEASED OR REGISTERED IN NEW
JERSEY, YOU MAY BE ENTITLED UNDER NEW JERSEY‘S LEMON LAW TO A REFUND
OF THE PURCHASE PRICE OR YOUR LEASE PAYMENTS.
Here is a summary of your rights:
1. To qualify for relief under the New Jersey Lemon Law, you must give the
manufacturer or its dealer the opportunity to repair or correct the defect in
the vehicle within the Lemon Law‘s term of protection, which is the first 24,000
miles of operation or two years after the vehicle‘s original date of delivery,
whichever is earlier.
2. If the manufacturer or its dealer is unable to repair or correct a defect
within a reasonable time, you may be entitled to return the vehicle and receive
a full refund, minus a reasonable allowance for vehicle use.
3. It is presumed that the manufacturer or its dealer is unable to repair or
correct the defect if substantially the same defect continues to exist after
the manufacturer has received written notice of the defect by certified mail,
return receipt requested, and has had a final opportunity to correct the defect
or condition within 10 calendar days after receipt of notice. This notice must
be received by the manufacturer with the term of protection and may be given
only after (i) the manufacturer or its dealer has had two or more attempts to
correct the defect, (ii) the manufacturer or its dealer has had at least one
attempt to correct the defect if the defect is one that is likely to cause death or
serious bodily injury if the vehicle is driven; or (iii) the vehicle has been out of
service for repair for a cumulative total of 20 or more calendar days, or in the
case of a motorhome, 45 days or more.
4. If substantially the same defect continues to exist after the manufacturer
has had the final opportunity to repair or correct the defect, you may file an
application for relief under New Jersey‘s Lemon Law.
