Kansas Lemon Law Attorneys

At DearLegal, we connect you with experienced Kansas lemon law attorneys who can force manufacturers to refund or replace your defective vehicle. Kansas’s Lemon Law (K.S.A. § 50-645) covers new vehicles for 1 year or 12,000 miles. Because the state statute is narrow, the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act provides broader nationwide protection. We’ll match you with the right attorney at no cost to get started.

Under K.S.A. § 50-645, a vehicle is presumed a lemon if, within 1 year or 12,000 miles, the manufacturer cannot repair a nonconformity after 4 attempts, or the vehicle has been out of service for 30 cumulative days.

Kansas’s Lemon Law applies only to new vehicles. The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and the Kansas UCC implied warranty of merchantability protect used buyers with a written warranty.

Yes. The Kansas statute and Magnuson-Moss both cover lessees.

Kansas’s Lemon Law generally applies to vehicles registered in Kansas. Magnuson-Moss applies nationwide.

Why Do You Need a Lemon Law Attorney in Kansas?

Kansas’s Lemon Law (K.S.A. § 50-645) covers new motor vehicles for 1 year or 12,000 miles — one of the shorter coverage windows in the country — and provides for refund or replacement when the manufacturer cannot repair a substantial defect after 4 attempts (10 for safety-related defects that may injure the driver) or the vehicle has been out of service for 30 cumulative days. Because the state statute is narrow, most Kansas attorneys rely heavily on the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. § 2301) and the Kansas Consumer Protection Act (K.S.A. § 50-623 et seq.) to extend protections to longer warranty periods.
