FAQ

Is the Lemon Proof Contract an extended warranty?

NO.

The Lemon Proof Contract does not extend your new vehicle’s manufacturer’s warranty. When your vehicle has a substantial defect that cannot be repaired under the warranty, the Lemon Proof Contract guarantees that Lemon Proof customers will not incur any out of pocket attorneys’ fees and costs related to pursuing legal recourse against the vehicle manufacturer for breaching the vehicle’s warranty.

The Lemon Proof Contract is guaranteed to save qualifying Lemon Proof customers thousands of dollars in attorneys’ fees and costs when the Lemon Proof customer has a “Lemon” as defined by the Lemon Proof Contract.

A “LEMON” IS A VEHICLE WITH REPEATED, UNFIXABLE PROBLEMS THAT QUALIFIES AS A LEMON UNDER THE TEXAS LEMON LAW.

To qualify as a Lemon, the vehicle must have a “substantial defect” both covered by warranty and not repairable after a reasonable number of attempts. A “substantial defect” is defined as a problem that affects the vehicle’s operation, value or safety, such as, but not limited to, faulty brakes, defective transmission or defective steering.

To be qualified as a Lemon, a certified manufacturer’s dealer authorized to sell and service the manufacturer’s new vehicles must fail to repair the substantial defect after three separate independent repair visits made for the expressed purpose of fixing the substantial defect.

Additionally, if the vehicle is in the service/repair department of a certified manufacturer’s dealer for 30 days or more due to a substantial defect, it also qualifies as a Lemon.

REPORT A LEMON.

Lemon Proof customers who think they have a Lemon are directed to the Report a Lemon section of this website. Only Lemon Proof customers who have paid for the Lemon Proof Contract and whose covered vehicle meets the definition of a “Lemon” found in the previous answer above should be filling out the Report a Lemon Form, which can be found here.
