How many repair visits count in Connecticut?

Connecticut counts 4 repair visits for the same defect under Connecticut's lemon law. A defect that could cause death or serious injury counts after 2 visits. Get a written repair order every time, even when the dealer says nothing was found.

How many days in the shop?

The other test is time in the shop: 30 days in total, and they do not have to be in a row. Write the drop-off date and the pick-up date on every visit. The repair log adds the days up for you.

The problem must first show up within 24 months or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first, per the Connecticut rule. A car delivered on January 1, 2025 leaves that window on January 1, 2027. The window is when the defect must first appear; the deadline to file is a separate clock, and your attorney checks both on the call.

Does Connecticut lemon law cover used cars?

In Connecticut, a used car that costs $3,000 or more must come with an express warranty from the dealer. A used car sold with a written warranty can also go under the federal warranty law in every state.

What Connecticut lemon law gives you back

Your attorney works out the refund from your contract.

Who pays your Connecticut lemon law attorney?

The federal warranty law lets an owner who wins recover reasonable attorney fees. That is why the case review is free and there is no fee unless you win. More on what a lemon law lawyer costs.

Questions owners ask

Does Connecticut lemon law cost me anything?

No. The federal warranty law lets a court make the carmaker pay your attorney when you win, so the case review is free and there is no fee unless you win.

What if the Connecticut dealer says nothing was found?

Get a repair order anyway. It still shows the date, the mileage and your complaint, and that is what an attorney counts.

What should I have ready when I call?

Every repair order, the sales or lease contract and the warranty booklet. The lemon law repair log puts the visits on one page.
