West Virginia lemon law FAQs

Real questions West Virginia consumers ask. Plain English answers.

Does the West Virginia lemon law cover used vehicles?+

W. Va. Code § 46A-6A (West Virginia New Motor Vehicle Warranties 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 West Virginia require?+

West Virginia's statutory presumption: 3 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 West Virginia?+

West Virginia arbitration rules: Manufacturer-sponsored arbitration is optional. Federal MMWA claims generally do NOT require manufacturer-sponsored arbitration as a prerequisite to suit.

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

Under federal MMWA, the manufacturer pays the consumer's reasonable attorney fees when the consumer prevails. W. Va. Code § 46A-6A (West Virginia New Motor Vehicle Warranties Act) also typically allows fee recovery. Lemonaid Firm works on contingency — no fees out of your pocket.
