Nevada Lemon Law Information
The Nevada Lemon Law applies when, during the first year following delivery of the new vehicle:
- the dealer has attempted to repair the same problem four (4) or more times, or
- the vehicle has been out of service due to repair attempts by the dealer for a total of 30 or more days.
To qualify for the Nevada Lemon Law, you must notify the manufacturer in writing before the end of the one-year period, & bring a lawsuit against the manufacturer no later than 18 months following the delivery of the vehicle.
If the manufacturer has established an informal dispute process which conforms to federal law, then you must first submit your claim under that procedure before initiating a lawsuit.

Helpful Lemon Law Tips
Most states require you to notify the dealer and the manufacturer that you have a Lemon Law claim. Always use Certified Mail with Return Receipt.
If the manufacturer has an informal mediation or dispute resolution process, most states require you to do that first before pursuing litigation. However, you should contact a lawyer immediately.
Most lawyers will not charge you for an initial consultation or legal fees for Lemon Law arbitration. If they decide you have a case, normally the manufacturer is forced to pay your legal costs.
