Getting Lemon Justice — Relief Under Kansas Lemon Law

Kansas Lemon Law provides several options for a successful Lemon Law claimant. First, you may be awarded a replacement vehicle of the same year, make, and model. If you accept a replacement vehicle, the manufacturer must reimburse you for towing charges and the cost of alternative transportation. Before you receive the replacement vehicle, you must pay the manufacturer for your use of the first vehicle up until the third repair attempt (or the first repair attempt for a serious defect) or to the 20th day that the vehicle was out of service. This payment is calculated by multiplying the mileage by the purchase price and dividing by 120,000. A refund can include:

• The full contract price of the vehicle
• Manufacturer- or dealer-installed options
• Earned finance charges
• Use taxes
• Title charges
• Incidental charges, such as towing charges and alternate transportation
• Attorney's fees

The amount of the refund may be reduced by a deduction for your use of the vehicle up until the third repair attempt (or the first repair attempt for a serious defect) or to the 20th day that the vehicle was out of service. This payment is calculated by multiplying the mileage by the purchase price and dividing by 120,000.
