or	an	 authorized	 dealer,	or	it	has	 been	 out	of	service	 by	reason	 of	repair	 of	one	 or	more	 nonconformities,	 defects,	or	
conditions for a cumulative total of thirty business days, you may be entitled to apply for a comparable replacement \
or 
a refund of purchase price plus incidental damages less a reasonable all\
owance for use.
In order for a repair attempt to qualify, you must obtain a written repair order. Neither the manufacturer nor any agent 
of the manufacturer (including the dealership service) may refuse to provide you with a written repair order at your 
request.

Vermont Consumer Notice
The Vermont Lemon Law applies to new motor vehicles sold or leased (for two or more years) or registered in the 
State of Vermont. A new motor vehicle is defined a passenger vehicle or truck, with a gross vehicle weight of 12,000

the	express	 warranty	 period	that	has	not	been	 successfully	 repaired	after	three	 repair	 attempts	 by	an	authorized	 dealer.	
The first repair must occur within the express warranty.
An alternative way of filing is if this vehicle has been out of service for repair for a cumulative total of thirty (30) 
calendar days within the express warranty.  The vehicle is considered to be out of service if it is in control of an 
authorized	dealer	for	the	majority	of	each	day.
A consumer may file a Demand with fewer than three unsuccessful repair attempts or fewer than thirty days out of 
service for a safety or other reason which meets the reasonable repair t\
hreshold.

ble repair.
You will explain at the hearing how the defect(s) or condition(s) substantially impairs any combination of the use,
