How a Hollywood claim proceeds
- Document every visit
Keep each repair order for the recurring defect — dates, complaint, work performed, days out of service. This is the record your claim is built on.
- Hit the statutory threshold
Three attempts at the same nonconformity, or 15+ cumulative days out of service, triggers Florida’s written-notice stage.
- Send the defect notification
A written Motor Vehicle Defect Notification gives the manufacturer one final repair opportunity, as § 681.104 requires.
- We press the claim
Our attorneys assemble the record, deal with the manufacturer, and pursue arbitration through the Florida AG’s program when required.
- Resolution
Repurchase, replacement vehicle, or a negotiated settlement — with attorney’s fees recoverable from the manufacturer in successful actions.¶

Hollywood FAQ
Common Questions from Hollywood Drivers
What is Florida’s Lemon Law?
Florida’s Lemon Law is the Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act, Fla. Stat. ch. 681. When a new or demonstrator vehicle has a nonconformity — a defect substantially impairing use, value, or safety — that survives a reasonable number of repair attempts, the manufacturer must repurchase or replace it. The Florida Attorney General’s Lemon Law Arbitration Program handles disputes.

What is the deadline for a Florida lemon law claim?
Two clocks matter: the nonconformity must be reported inside the 24-month rights period, and arbitration generally must be requested no later than 60 days after that period ends. Moving early keeps both open.

What does a Hollywood lemon law case cost?
Typically nothing out of pocket. We handle Florida lemon law claims with no upfront attorney’s fees, and fee-shifting provisions in Florida law and the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act allow reasonable fees to be recovered from the manufacturer in successful actions.

How many repair attempts do I need?
The thresholds under § 681.104: three same-defect repair attempts (then a written Motor Vehicle Defect Notification and one final repair opportunity), or 15 or more cumulative days out of service triggering the notice — with 30 or more days supporting relief.
Source: § 681.104
What can I recover under the Florida Lemon Law?
Repurchase of the vehicle — the purchase price plus collateral and incidental charges, less a reasonable offset for your use — or an acceptable identical or reasonably equivalent replacement vehicle.

¶ Fee statements refer to attorney’s fees.
