Vermont Consumer Notice
The Vermont Lemon Law applies to new motor vehicles sold or leased (for two or more years) or registered in the 
State	of	Vermont.	 A	new	 motor	 vehicle	 is	defined	 a	passenger	 vehicle	or	truck,	 with	a	gross	 vehicle	 weight	of	12,000 	
pounds	or	less,	still	under	the	manufacturer’s	express	warranty.	9		V.S.A	Sections	4171	(6)	and	(9).
You may be entitled to apply for a comparable replacement vehicle or prorated refund if you discover a defect during 
the	express	 warranty	 period	that	has	not	been	 successfully	 repaired	after	three	 repair	 attempts	 by	an	authorized	 dealer.	
The first repair must occur within the express warranty.
An alternative way of filing is if this vehicle has been out of service for repair for a cumulative total of thirty (30) 
calendar days within the express warranty.  The vehicle is considered to be out of service if it is in control of an 
authorized	dealer	for	the	majority	of	each	day.
A consumer may file a Demand with fewer than three unsuccessful repair attempts or fewer than thirty days out of 
service for a safety or other reason which meets the reasonable repair t\
hreshold.
Written repair orders or examination reports must be obtained to attain the presumption of reasona\
ble repair.
You will explain at the hearing how the defect(s) or condition(s) substantially impairs any combination of the use, 
market	value	or	safety	of	the	vehicle	as	of	the	date	of	signing	the	Demand	for	Arbitration.
The Lemon Law may not be used if you elect to file a claim with the manufacturer’s dispute settlement mechanism or 
if you have discontinued vehicle payments.
The New Motor Vehicle Arbitration program includes other eligibility criteria.
