What Is Georgia’s Lemon Law

Georgia’s Lemon Law is codified in O.C.G.A. § 10‑1‑781 and following sections. It protects consumers who purchase or lease new vehicles that exhibit defects that “substantially impair” their use, value, or safety, which the manufacturer cannot successfully repair after a reasonable number of attempts. If your car qualifies, you may be entitled to a replacement vehicle or a refund — plus reimbursement of costs like towing and rental vehicle expenses.

Unlike other laws, Georgia’s Lemon Law imposes a specific remedy against manufacturers once you prove your vehicle meets statutory criteria. Many consumers don’t realize just how powerful these protections can be.

Does My Vehicle Qualify as a Lemon in Georgia?

To bring a valid Georgia Lemon Law claim, typically the following must be true:

1. The vehicle must be new (or demonstrator) and covered by a manufacturer’s warranty.
2. A defect must manifest within the statutory rights period (often tied to warranty terms or a set number of months/miles).
3. You must allow the manufacturer reasonable repair attempts at the defect. Georgia law or case law often presumes three attempts on the same defect.
4. The defect must persist, recur, or remain after those repair attempts.
5. That defect must substantially impair the vehicle’s safety, value, or utility.

If all of these conditions are met, you may be entitled to relief under Georgia’s Lemon Law.

Even if your situation doesn’t fit perfectly, we’ll explore alternative legal claims like breach of warranty, fraud, or product defect litigation.

Common Defects That Trigger Lemon Cases

Some of the most frequent vehicle issues in Lemon Law claims include:

• Transmission problems or slipping gears
• Engine stalling, misfires, or power loss
• Electrical or wiring faults (dead screens, faulty sensors)
• Faulty safety systems: airbag malfunctions, brake defects
• Leaks (fluid, oil, coolant) that can’t be fixed
• Steering or suspension defects
• HVAC, climate control, or other comfort system failures
• Infotainment, connectivity, or software glitches

When these defects persist or recur even after repair attempts, they may qualify your vehicle as a lemon under the law.

What Relief Can You Obtain Under Georgia’s Lemon Law

If your claim is successful, you may be entitled to:

• Refund: full return of purchase or lease price (less use), plus taxes, registration, title, and fees.
• Replacement vehicle: equivalent make and model, free of defects.
• Reimbursement: towing, rental car costs, incidental expenses.
• Attorney’s fees and litigation costs: the law may require the manufacturer to pay your legal costs.
• Other damages: in some cases, for inconvenience, lost value, or related harm.

The goal is to make you whole — not leave you worse off.

Georgia Lemon Law Procedures & Deadlines

Repair Attempts & Final Notice

You must give the manufacturer or dealer a proper opportunity to repair the defect. If repair attempts fail, a Final Notice is often required before filing suit.

Statute of Limitations

Georgia’s Lemon Law claims typically must be filed within defined periods after the repair/defect causes your harm. Additionally, related claims under warranty or contract might have statutes (often 4 years under Georgia law). If you miss these deadlines, you may lose your right to recovery permanently.

Used Vehicles & Other Remedies

Note: Georgia’s Lemon Law is designed for new vehicles. Used cars, sold “as is,” do not fall under this statute. However, depending on warranties, dealer misrepresentation, or warranty law, there may still be legal options such as breach of warranty, fraud, or common law claims. We evaluate every path to maximize your chance.
