Hello Justin, Ohio's Lemon Law applies to new vehicles within the first year or *,* miles. Key points:
- The car must have a problem covered by the warranty that substantially impairs its use, safety or value.
- The manufacturer must have had a reasonable opportunity to repair it.
Could you please provide more specific details about your issue?
Bought an * Chevy Colorado Nov of last year. Tried to perform basic preventative maintenance on Saturday & the whole back half of frame crumbled in my hand. Undercoating was sprayed on as think as possible to cover it up. Absolutely not roadworthy & extremely dangerous to drive. My children were in that car...
I'm sorry to hear that, Justin. As the vehicle is a * model, it doesn't fall under Ohio's Lemon Law. However, you might have recourse under Ohio's used car laws or through deceptive trade practices if you can prove the seller knowingly concealed the car's condition. Consult a local attorney for specific advice.
