Colorado lemon law FAQs

Real questions Colorado consumers ask. Plain English answers.

Does the Colorado lemon law cover used vehicles?+

Colo. Rev. Stat. § 42-12-101 (Colorado 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 Colorado require?+

Colorado's statutory presumption: 4 repair attempts OR 30 days out of service in first year / warranty period. 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 Colorado?+

Colorado arbitration rules: Manufacturer-sponsored arbitration mandatory if certified by Colorado attorney general. Federal MMWA claims generally do NOT require manufacturer-sponsored arbitration as a prerequisite to suit.

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

Under federal MMWA, the manufacturer pays the consumer's reasonable attorney fees when the consumer prevails. Colo. Rev. Stat. § 42-12-101 (Colorado Lemon Law) also typically allows fee recovery. Lemonaid Firm works on contingency, no fees out of your pocket.
