What is the Illinois Car Lemon Law?

Illinois has laws in place to protect consumers from defective vehicles. The Illinois New Vehicle Buyer Protection Act, commonly referred to as the Illinois Car Lemon Law or technically referred to as “815 ILCS 380”, provides recourse for individuals who have purchased or leased a new vehicle that has persistent and unrepairable defects.

To qualify under the Illinois Lemon Law, a vehicle must:

• Be a new car, truck, or SUV purchased or leased in Illinois.
• Weigh under 8,000 pounds.
• Have a defect or condition that substantially impairs its use, safety, or value.
• Have undergone a reasonable number of repair attempts (typically four) or been out of service for 30 or more cumulative business days within the first 12 months or 12,000 miles of ownership.

If your vehicle meets these conditions, you may be entitled to a refund or replacement under the Illinois Car Lemon Law. However, filing a claim and obtaining compensation is not always straightforward. That’s where HC Bradley LLC comes in.

What If My Car Doesn’t Qualify Under the Illinois Lemon Law?

Even if your vehicle does not meet the specific requirements of the Illinois Lemon Law, you may still have legal options. Other consumer protection laws, such as the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, may apply to your case. This act allows consumers to pursue claims against manufacturers when a vehicle’s warranty is not honored or when a defect significantly affects its value. Additionally, Illinois’ Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) provides certain protections when a product fails to meet its expected standards.

At HC Bradley LLC, we will explore every possible legal avenue to ensure you are not left dealing with a defective vehicle on your own.
