Getting Lemon Justice — Relief Under North Carolina Lemon Law

North Carolina 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. You may also qualify for a monetary award, which can include:

• The full purchase price
• Charges for undercoating
• Dealer preparation and transportation fees
• Dealer- or manufacturer-installed options
• Non-refundable portions of extended warranties and service contracts
• Finance charges
• Incidental and collateral charges
• Sales tax
• License fees
• Registration fees
• Attorney's fees

The amount of the monetary reward may be reduced by a deduction for your use of the vehicle, which is calculated by the number of miles divided by 100,000, and multiplied by the purchase price of the vehicle.

If a court finds that the manufacturer unreasonably failed or refused to repair, refund, or replace the lemon, you may be awarded triple damages.
