PURCHASED, LEASED OR REGISTERED IN NEW JERSEY, YOU MAY BE ENTITLED UNDER NEW
JERSEY’S LEMON LAW TO A REFUND OF THE PURCHASE PRICE OR YOUR LEASE PAYMENTS.
Here is a summary of your rights:

defect continues to exist after the manufacturer has received written notice of the defect by certified mail, return receipt
requested, and has had a final opportunity to correct the defect or condition within 10 calendar days after receipt of the
notice. This notice must be received by the manufacturer within the term of protection and may be given only after (i)
the manufacturer or its dealer has had two or more attempts to correct the defect; (ii) the manufacturer or its dealer has
had at least one attempt to correct the defect if the defect is one that is likely to cause death or serious bodily injury if
the vehicle is driven; or (iii) the vehicle has been out of service for repair for a cumulative total of 20 or more calendar
days, or in the case of a motor home, 45 or more days.

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
pounds or less, still under the manufacturer’s express warranty. 9 V.S.A Sections 4171 (6) and (9).
You may be entitled to apply for a comparable replacement vehicle or prorated refund if you discover a defect during
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 threshold.
Written repair orders or examination reports must be obtained to attain the presumption of reasonable repair.
You will explain at the hearing how the defect(s) or condition(s) substantially impairs any combination of the use,
market value or safety of the vehicle as of the date of signing the Demand for Arbitration.
The Lemon Law may not be used if you elect to file a claim with the manufacturer ’s dispute settlement mechanism or
if you have discontinued vehicle payments.
The New Motor Vehicle Arbitration program includes other eligibility criteria.
