ermont Consumer Notice
The Vermont Lemon Law applies to new motor vehicles sold or leased (for two or more years) or registered in the
State of Vermont. A new motor vehicle is defined a passenger vehicle or truck, with a gross vehicle weight of 12,000
pounds or less, still under the manufacturer’s express warranty.
You may be entitled to apply for a comparable replacement vehicle or prorated refund if :
1) you discover a defect during the express warranty period which substantially impairs the use, market value or
safety of this vehicle which has not been sucessfully repaired after three repair attempts by an authorized
dealer, with at least the first repair occuring under the express warranty; or
2) this vehicle has been out of service for repair for a cumulative total of thirty (30) calendar days within the
express warranty.
A written repair order or examination must be obtained for a repair attempt to qualify towards meeting the
presumption of reasonable repair.
The vehicle is deemed to be out of service if it is in for repair for a majority of the day.
You may not use the Lemon Law if you elect to use the manufacturer’s dispute settlement mechanism or if you have
stopped making payments on any finance agreement.
The New Motor Vehicle Arbitration program includes other eligibility requirements that you must meet to qualify.
Forms to initiate the New Motor Vehicle Arbitration process should be included with your new vehicle upon delivery.
