How this tool works: We compute two deadlines — one anchored at purchase date (UCC § 2-725 standard) and one anchored at first repair attempt — and surface the EARLIER as the safe filing deadline. The state-specific note tells you which anchor courts in that state tend to use, but real cases involve fact-specific tolling (manufacturer concealment, repair-attempt tolling, discovery rule). If you're within 12 months of any plausible deadline, do not rely on this calculator — contact a lemon-law attorney.
