Florida Kia Lemon Law Attorney
New Kia in the shop again? Work with Mark E. Sawicki (not a paralegal) to pursue a buyback, replacement, or cash under Florida Kia lemon law.
Is Your Kia Acting Like a Lemon in Florida?
You bought a Kia for dependable driving—not repeat breakdowns and the same defect coming back.
- Common signs: engine misfires, dash warning lights, transmission jerking, repeat dealer visits for the same issue
- Examples: Telluride brake problems, Sportage electrical issues, Forte starting failures
- If a defect substantially impacts use, value, or safety and won’t stay fixed, Florida Lemon Law may offer buyback, replacement, or cash
Mark Sawicki understands the runaround as a former lemon law client who won full compensation, and he brings 15+ years of litigation experience to Kia lemon law cases across Florida.

Small credits, long delays, or giving up
Dealer Only
Service advisors & managers

How Florida Lemon Law Works for Your Kia
Required first step: BBB Auto Line. Kia cases in Florida must go through BBB Auto Line arbitration before moving forward in court.
- Mark files the BBB claim, organizes your repair documentation, and represents you at the hearing
- If BBB doesn’t resolve it fairly—or Kia won’t comply—Mark escalates to enforce your rights
Most Kia lemon law cases involve:
- A new (or demo sold as new) Kia bought/leased in Florida
- A defect that substantially impacts use, value, or safety
- Reasonable repair attempts with the problem still returning
- The issue occurring within the warranty/rights period
If you qualify, you may be entitled to:
- Buyback/refund
- Replacement vehicle
- Cash compensation
Mark applies the law to your Kia repair timeline and documentation, then pushes for the strongest outcome—backed by 15+ years of litigation experience and firsthand knowledge as a former lemon law client who won.

Florida Kia Lemon Law: Frequently Asked Questions
Does Florida Lemon Law cover only brand-new Kias, or demonstrators too?
Florida’s Lemon Law covers new vehicles and certain demonstrator models that were sold as new with minimal miles. If you purchased what was represented as a ‘new’ Kia or a demo with very early defects covered under the manufacturer’s warranty, your vehicle may be protected. Mark reviews your specific purchase agreement during your free consultation.
How soon after purchase must my Kia’s problems start to qualify?
Problems typically need to arise during the early ownership period—within the rights period tied to specific time frames or mileage limits under Florida law. The sooner defects are documented and repair attempts begin, the stronger your legal position. Even if you’re unsure about timing, Mark can evaluate your repair timeline and determine if you still qualify.
The dealer keeps trying to fix my Kia—can it still be a lemon?
Absolutely yes. Florida’s Lemon Law looks at the number of repair attempts, the severity of the defect, and the total time your vehicle spent in the shop—not whether the dealer seems to be trying. If the same substantial problem remains unfixed after reasonable repair attempts, your Kia may qualify as a lemon regardless of the dealer’s good intentions.
Does Kia really require BBB Auto Line arbitration first?
Yes. Before you can file a lemon law lawsuit against Kia in Florida, you must complete BBB Auto Line arbitration—it’s required by law, not optional. Mark helps you navigate the entire BBB process, represents you at the hearing, and if BBB doesn’t resolve your case fairly or Kia refuses to comply, he pursues your full lemon law claim through the courts.
Will I lose my Kia immediately if I contact a lemon law attorney?
No. You can continue driving your Kia (as long as it’s safe to do so) while your claim is being evaluated and pursued. If your case results in a buyback or replacement, Mark guides you through the vehicle return process step-by-step when the time comes. You stay in control throughout.
Kia says my problems are ‘normal’ for this model—does that matter legally?
What the dealer or manufacturer claims is ‘normal’ isn’t the legal standard under Florida’s Lemon Law. If your Kia pulls to one side, stalls in traffic, throws persistent warning lights, or exhibits other problems that substantially affect its use, value, or safety, the law protects you—regardless of what Kia calls ‘normal.’ Mark evaluates your situation against actual legal requirements, not manufacturer talking points.
What qualifies as a ‘substantial defect’ for my Kia under Florida law?
A substantial defect is one that significantly impairs your Kia’s use, market value, or safety. Examples include engine failures, transmission problems that cause jerking or slipping, brake system defects, electrical issues that disable critical functions, or anything that makes the vehicle unreliable or unsafe for normal driving. Minor cosmetic issues typically don’t qualify, but mechanical and safety defects usually do.
Why should I choose ByeLemon instead of another Florida lemon law firm?
Because you work with Mark Sawicki from day one—not an intake team or paralegal. Mark was himself a lemon law client who endured a year of litigation and ultimately prevailed with full compensation, so he understands your frustration personally. He brings 15+ years of trial experience, holds an LL.M. in Trial Advocacy, and has handled thousands of hearings and trials. Your case requires low effort from you, no upfront fees, and Mark’s relentless advocacy treating you like family.
How long does a Florida Kia lemon law case typically take?
Timelines vary based on your specific situation, the manufacturer’s cooperation, and whether BBB Auto Line arbitration resolves your case or litigation becomes necessary. Some cases settle in months, others take longer if Kia contests aggressively. Mark provides realistic timeline expectations during your free consultation and keeps you updated throughout your case’s progress.
What compensation can I get if my Kia is a lemon under Florida law?
Florida’s Lemon Law can require Kia to provide a full refund (buyback) of your purchase price minus a reasonable mileage deduction, a replacement vehicle of comparable value, or cash compensation depending on your case specifics. Mark fights for the maximum compensation you’re entitled to receive under the law—holding the manufacturer fully accountable for selling you a defective vehicle.
