Repeated problems with a newer vehicle?

Every state has a lemon law for new vehicles that can't be fixed after a reasonable number of repair attempts, and some cover used vehicles too. The rules (how many attempts, how long you have) differ by state. Recall repairs are generally done free by an authorized dealer, and keeping every repair record helps with any later claim.

Source: recall and complaint records published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), for model years 2000 and later, last updated November 9, 2026. Complaints are reports drivers file with NHTSA; NHTSA doesn't verify each one, and a complaint isn't a finding that a vehicle is defective. Crash, injury and death figures are what complainants reported.

Recalls apply to specific vehicles, not every car of a model and year. To see whether yours has an open recall, enter your VIN on NHTSA's recall lookup. Lawbamba is not affiliated with NHTSA or any manufacturer, and this page is general information, not legal advice.
