At a Glance
Florida Lemon Law: the essentials
Fla. Stat. ch. 681 — the Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act — enforced through the arbitration program run by the Florida Attorney General.
Vehicles bought or leased new (or as demonstrators) in Florida for personal, family, or household use, where the defect was first reported inside the 24-month rights period.
Either three same-defect repair attempts followed by one final attempt after written notice, or 30 cumulative days out of service (60 for recreational vehicles) after the notices the statute requires.
A buyback of the full purchase price with collateral and incidental charges, minus a reasonable use offset — or a reasonably equivalent replacement.
The path from repair orders to resolution
- Save the paperwork
Every repair order is evidence: the date, what you reported, what the dealer did, and how long the vehicle sat. Nothing matters more to a claim.
- Reach the presumption
Once the same defect has been in three times — or the vehicle has been down 15 or more days in total — the statute’s notice stage opens.
- Give the final chance
§ 681.104 requires a written Motor Vehicle Defect Notification, giving the manufacturer one last opportunity to cure.
- Let us take it from there
We build the file, handle every exchange with the manufacturer, and take the claim through the AG’s arbitration program when the statute calls for it.
- Get resolved
The end point is a buyback, a replacement, or a negotiated settlement — and in successful actions the manufacturer pays the reasonable attorney’s fees.¶

Naples FAQ
Naples Lemon Law FAQ
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.
Source: Florida AG Lemon Law Program
What does a Naples 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.
Source: Fla. Stat. ch. 681
Is there a law office in Naples I need to visit?
No — and none is needed. From intake through resolution, our Florida-licensed attorneys handle Naples and Collier County claims by phone, email, and mail out of the firm’s Florida office in North Miami Beach.
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.
Source: § 681.104
Do I need to keep all repair records?
Absolutely. The repair orders are the proof — of the defect and of every attempt to fix it. Save the dates, the written description of each complaint, and each visit’s outcome, even “no fault found” visits. A lemon law claim is built on that documented history.
