Defects in vehicles often constitute a breach of warranty. If that is the case with your vehicle, the lemon law attorneys at Lemon LawDog can help. We can review your vehicle’s warranty and determine whether you have a lemon law claim.
Typically, breach of auto warranty laws in Texas and Ohio cover cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs and other passenger vehicles.

Does Lemon Law Apply If The Problem Is Intermittent Or If The Dealer Says They Could Not Duplicate?
Yes. Lemon law can still protect you if an issue occurs intermittently. Dealership repair invoices marked with “could not duplicate” still serve as official documentation. These repair orders show that you brought the vehicle in for a defect within the warranty period. In both Texas and Ohio, the law focuses on:
- Whether a substantial impairment exists
- Whether you provided the manufacturer with a reasonable number of repair opportunities
You should still document every occurrence with videos, detailed notes and date stamps. These documented service visits help to build an evidence-based claim, even if a dealership says that they cannot replicate an issue.
What If The Dealership Blames You For Aftermarket Parts, Missed Maintenance Or Abuse?
Dealerships often try to shift the blame to vehicle owners to avoid payouts. However, the law places the burden of proof directly on the manufacturer. Under federal law, a manufacturer cannot deny coverage simply because you installed aftermarket parts or missed a scheduled service. They may do so only if they can prove that a specific action directly caused the mechanical failure.
In Texas and Ohio, minor maintenance oversights or standard vehicle modifications do not invalidate your statutory rights. A knowledgeable lawyer can counter these baseless tactics. We can use technical evidence to show that the defect stems from a manufacturing flaw.
If The Manufacturer Offers A Settlement, Should You Accept It?
Never accept an initial settlement offer from a vehicle manufacturer without having a lawyer review the terms first. Automobile manufacturers tend to offer low, cash payouts or extended warranties that fall short of what you need. A fair resolution under Texas or Ohio lemon law may entitle you to:
- A full vehicle repurchase
- A brand-new replacement vehicle
- A cash settlement
- Coverage for your legal fees
One of our experienced lemon law attorneys will evaluates the financial value of your claim to make sure that you do not surrender any rights or settle for less than what you deserve.
