Alaska lemon law FAQs

Real questions Alaska consumers ask. Plain English answers.

Does the Alaska lemon law cover used vehicles?+

Alaska Stat. § 45.45.300 (Alaska Lemon Law) primarily covers new vehicles. The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (MMWA) frequently extends to used vehicles that came with any written warranty, manufacturer remaining warranty, certified pre-owned warranty, or a dealer's used-car warranty. We evaluate whether your case fits state law, federal MMWA, or both.

How many repair attempts does Alaska require?+

Alaska's statutory presumption: 3 repair attempts OR 30 days out of service in first 12 months / 12,000 miles. Federal MMWA does not set a fixed number, it requires a 'reasonable opportunity' for the manufacturer to repair, which is fact-specific.

Do I have to arbitrate before suing in Alaska?+

Alaska arbitration rules: Manufacturer-sponsored optional; state attorney general may mediate. Federal MMWA claims generally do NOT require manufacturer-sponsored arbitration as a prerequisite to suit.

Who pays my attorney fees in a Alaska lemon law case?+

Under federal MMWA, the manufacturer pays the consumer's reasonable attorney fees when the consumer prevails. Alaska Stat. § 45.45.300 (Alaska Lemon Law) also typically allows fee recovery. Lemonaid Firm works on contingency, no fees out of your pocket.

Can Lemonaid Firm represent me directly in Alaska?+
