New York law states that if, after a reasonable number of attempts, a dealer cannot repair a new vehicle within the first 18,000 miles or 2 years of delivery of that vehicle to the consumer, then the consumer is entitled to either a refund of the purchase price or a replacement vehicle.

The law presumes that a reasonable number of attempts have been made if the dealer has made four repair attempts for the same problem or the vehicle has been out of service for 30 days or more within the first 18,000 miles or 2 years. However, this does not mean that the vehicle owner must have four repair attempts or meet the 30 day requirement to have a claim under the New York State New Car Lemon Law. So long as a "reasonable number" of repair attempts have been made, you may still have a valid claim.

There are other federal and state laws that may entitle you to relief for problems with your vehicle or consumer product, i.e., computer, hi-def TVs, etc...

For example, a federal law known as the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act provides consumers with a claim if the person who warranted the product breaches that warranty. If the warranty is breached, a consumer will be entitled to a refund of their purchase price or damages. The law also provides for recovery of reasonable attorney fees.

In addition, New York vehicle owners may be covered by consumer protection laws outlawing deceptive sales and service acts and practices. This law may result in recovery of damages and attorney fees for the vehicle consumer.
