Kansas lemon law help when your new car keeps failing

How many repair visits count in Kansas?

Kansas counts 4 repair visits for the same defect under Kansas's lemon law. Tell the service writer when a defect feels unsafe, and make sure it is on the order. 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 12 months, per the Kansas rule. A car delivered on January 1, 2026 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 Kansas lemon law cover used cars?
