Wisconsin Lemon Law Information

The Wisconsin Lemon Law applies when, during the first year following delivery of a new vehicle:

To qualify for the Minnesota Lemon Law, a defect must seriously affect the use, value or safety of your vehicle and must be covered by the warranty. An irritating rattle may not be "serious" enough to make your car a lemon. Stalling probably is.

The lemon law includes no set timeline or deadline for filing a lemon law suit; a court would decide if your case were too old.

Helpful Lemon Law Tips

Most states require you to notify the dealer and the manufacturer that you have a Lemon Law claim. Always use Certified Mail w/ Return Receipt.

If the manufacturer has an informal mediation or dispute resolution process, most states require you to do that first before pursuing litigation. However, you should contact a lawyer immediately.

Most lawyers will not charge you for an initial consultation or legal fees for Lemon Law arbitration. If they decide you have a case, normally the manufacturer is forced to pay your legal costs.
