What is Arizona Lemon Law?
When referring to the Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S. 44-1263)
A. If the manufacturer, its agents or its authorized dealers are unable to conform the motor vehicle to any applicable express warranty by repairing or correcting any defect or condition which substantially impairs the use and value of the motor vehicle to the consumer after a reasonable number of attempts, the manufacturer shall replace the motor vehicle with a new motor vehicle or accept return of the motor vehicle from the consumer and refund to the consumer the full purchase price, including all collateral charges, less a reasonable allowance for the consumer’s use of the vehicle. The manufacturer shall make refunds to the consumer and lienholder, if any, as their interests appear. A reasonable allowance for use is that amount directly attributable to use by the consumer before his first written report of the nonconformity to the manufacturer, agent or dealer and during any subsequent period when the vehicle is not out of service by reason of repair.
B. It is an affirmative defense to any claim under this article that either:
- An alleged nonconformity does not substantially impair the use and market value of the motor vehicle.
- A nonconformity is the result of abuse, neglect or unauthorized modifications or alterations of the motor vehicle.
C. In the case of taxes paid pursuant to title 42, chapter 5, if the manufacturer:
- Accepts return of a motor vehicle from a consumer without replacing the motor vehicle, the manufacturer shall refund the amount of tax attributed to the sale of the vehicle to that consumer.
- Replaces a motor vehicle with a new motor vehicle of lesser value, the manufacturer shall refund the difference between the original amount of tax attributed to the sale of that vehicle and the amount of tax attributed to the sale of the replacement vehicle, excluding the value of the motor vehicle being replaced.
- Replaces a motor vehicle with a new motor vehicle of greater value, the manufacturer shall calculate the gross proceeds of sales pursuant to section 42-5001, paragraph 6.
D. Pursuant to section 42-1118, subsection F, the manufacturer may apply to the department of revenue for a refund for the amount of tax that the manufacturer properly refunds to the consumer.
In short, this means you have taken your vehicle back to the dealership a number of times while they attempted to repair it and failed each time. Arizona Debt Solutions will help you return the vehicle for full price paid (including taxes).
Can I Make a Arizona Lemon Law Claim?
Did you recently purchase a vehicle from a dealership that has mechanical problems or defects that the dealer is not able to fix? Have you also returned this vehicle several times to get the vehicle repaired with no resolve? If you have answered yes to either of these questions you are a prime candidate to file a claim under Arizona’s Lemon Law.
Should I Hire a Lemon Law Attorney?
Hiring an experienced attorney in this manner could be the difference of winning or losing a lemon law claim. Some people who go it alone have won in the past but it is very rare. This is because of the large number of defenses a manufacturer can use to
defend themselves if and when you file a claim. They will continuously try to argue that it was YOUR fault (abusing the vehicle, modifications etc). With Arizona Debt Solutions, we will fight on your behalf and provide a strong case to ensure justice is served.
