Michigan Lemon Law: Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifies my vehicle as a lemon in Michigan?
Under the Michigan Lemon Law (MCL 257.1401–257.1410), your vehicle may qualify if the manufacturer cannot fix the same substantial defect after four or more repair attempts within two years of the first repair, or if your vehicle has been out of service for repairs for a total of 30 or more days during the warranty term or within one year of delivery — whichever comes first.
How long do I have to bring a Michigan lemon law claim?
The statutory presumption applies to defects reported within the manufacturer’s express warranty term or within one year of the vehicle’s delivery date, whichever is earlier. Required repairs must still be completed even if they extend past the warranty’s expiration when they continue an earlier repair attempt.
Do I have to notify the manufacturer before filing?
Yes. Michigan law requires giving the manufacturer one final opportunity to repair the vehicle. You must send written notice by certified mail (return receipt requested) after the third repair attempt for the same defect, or after 25 cumulative days out of service. The manufacturer then has five business days after the vehicle reaches a designated repair facility to fix the problem.
What can I recover if my vehicle is a lemon?
If your claim succeeds, you may be entitled to a full refund of the purchase price or a comparable replacement vehicle, less a reasonable allowance for use. Attorney fees are often recoverable from the manufacturer under the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, so most consumers pay nothing out of pocket.
Does the Michigan Lemon Law cover leased vehicles?
Yes. Michigan’s Lemon Law protects consumers who lease a new motor vehicle for personal, family, or household use, not only those who purchase. If a leased vehicle meets the statutory repair thresholds, the lessee has the same rights to pursue a refund or replacement.
