What is covered under Ohio’s Lemon Law?
Generally, Ohio’s Lemon Law only applies to new motor vehicles since it covers vehicles during the first 12 months or first 18,000 miles of use, whichever comes first. If you have problems with your vehicle during this protection period, take the vehicle back and ask the dealer or manufacturer to fix those problems. In most instances, if the vehicle cannot be repaired after a reasonable number of attempts, you have the legal right to ask the dealer or manufacturer to replace the lemon or refund the entire purchase price.
Ohio’s Lemon Law applies to motor vehicles only, not appliances or other household products.
