How Florida Lemon Law Works for Your New Car
Good news: Most new car cases in Florida don’t require BBB Auto Line (only a few manufacturers do), so you can move straight to a lemon law claim.
Florida Lemon Law may apply if:
- Your vehicle was bought/leased new (or dealer demo) in Florida
- A defect substantially impacts use, value, or safety
- The dealer/manufacturer had reasonable repair attempts, but it still isn’t fixed
- The issue happened within the lemon law rights period
If you qualify, you may be entitled to:
- Buyback (minus reasonable mileage offset)
- Replacement vehicle
- Cash settlement
Mark reviews your repair timeline, records, and days out of service, then builds the case using Florida’s standards—backed by his experience as a former lemon law client who fought and won.

Vehicle has been in the shop 30+ cumulative days
Dealer says “It’s normal” but problem returns
Repeated quick fixes that don’t solve underlying defect

Florida New Car Lemon Law FAQs
Does Florida Lemon Law cover only brand-new cars, or demos and used cars too?
Florida’s Lemon Law primarily covers new vehicles and certain dealer demos sold with a manufacturer’s warranty as “new.” If you purchased or leased your car as new (or as a demo with very low miles sold as new) and the defect arose early in ownership, your vehicle may be covered. Used cars purchased from private parties typically aren’t covered, but used vehicles still under the original manufacturer warranty may have some protections. Mark reviews your specific purchase circumstances during your free consultation.
How soon must my new car’s problems start to qualify as a lemon?
Under Florida law, the defects must arise during the “Lemon Law rights period,” which is generally tied to the first 24 months or 24,000 miles of ownership (whichever comes first). The sooner problems are documented—ideally within the first year—the stronger your legal position. Even if you’re slightly outside the technical period, Mark may identify other legal remedies, so it’s worth a consultation regardless.
My dealer keeps trying to fix the problem. Can my car still be a lemon?
Absolutely. Florida’s Lemon Law looks at whether the manufacturer or dealer has had a reasonable number of repair attempts to fix a substantial defect. If the same problem persists after multiple repair visits, or if your vehicle has been out of service for an extended period, the vehicle may qualify as a lemon even though the dealer is still trying. Good faith repair attempts that fail actually strengthen your case.
Does my manufacturer require BBB Auto Line arbitration before I can file a lemon law claim?
No. Good news: Most manufacturers are not required to go through BBB Auto Line arbitration in Florida. You can proceed directly to a lemon law claim or lawsuit without that extra arbitration checkpoint. This can speed up your case resolution significantly.
Will I lose my car immediately if I start a lemon law case?
No. You can continue driving your car (as long as it’s safe to do so) while your lemon law claim is being evaluated and negotiated. If a buyback or replacement is agreed upon, Mark will guide you through the vehicle return process step by step. You won’t be left without transportation unexpectedly.
The manufacturer says my vehicle’s issues are ‘normal characteristics’ for the model. Does that mean I’m out of luck?
Not necessarily. ‘Normal’ isn’t the legal standard under Florida’s Lemon Law—the standard is whether the defect substantially impairs the vehicle’s use, value, or safety. If your car pulls to one side, stalls in traffic, displays persistent warning lights, or exhibits other problems that affect safe operation or usability, the law may protect you even if the manufacturer claims it’s ‘normal.’ Mark analyzes whether the manufacturer’s characterization holds up under legal scrutiny.
What types of new car defects commonly qualify under Florida Lemon Law problems?
New cars from all manufacturers can develop recurring defects—transmission failures, electrical system malfunctions, engine stalling, brake issues, infotainment glitches, and safety system errors are among the most common. If your new car has a documented pattern of the same defect returning after multiple repair attempts and qualifies under Florida’s Lemon Law timeline, Mark can leverage that pattern in your case. Even if your specific make and model isn’t widely reported for defects, a documented history of failed repairs on your individual vehicle is what matters legally.
Is there a class action lawsuit against my car manufacturer I should join instead?
Class action lawsuits against manufacturers can take years to resolve and typically result in small individual settlements like extended warranties or modest cash payments. Florida’s Lemon Law, by contrast, can provide you with a full vehicle buyback, replacement, or substantial cash settlement specific to your situation—often much faster. Mark evaluates whether an individual lemon law claim or a class action (if one exists) is the better path for your lemon law case.
Why should I choose ByeLemon instead of another Florida lemon law attorney?
You get Mark Sawicki from day one—not a paralegal or junior associate. Mark is a former lemon law client himself who endured over a year of litigation and won full compensation, so he knows exactly what you’re experiencing. He brings 15+ years of trial experience, an LL.M. in Trial Advocacy, and thousands of hearings to your case. Your lemon law case is low-effort for you (Mark handles manufacturer communications) and there are no upfront legal fees. Most importantly, you’re treated like family throughout the entire process.
