You get both: Lemonaid Firm's federal expertise plus a Missouri-admitted attorney on the local docket.

Missouri lemon law FAQs

Real questions Missouri consumers ask. Plain English answers.

Does the Missouri lemon law cover used vehicles?+

Mo. Rev. Stat. § 407.560 (Missouri New Motor Vehicle Warranty Act) 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 Missouri require?+

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

Missouri arbitration rules: Manufacturer-sponsored arbitration if certified. Federal MMWA claims generally do NOT require manufacturer-sponsored arbitration as a prerequisite to suit.

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

Under federal MMWA, the manufacturer pays the consumer's reasonable attorney fees when the consumer prevails. Mo. Rev. Stat. § 407.560 (Missouri New Motor Vehicle Warranty Act) also typically allows fee recovery. Lemonaid Firm works on contingency, no fees out of your pocket.
