    Default Re: Emission Control Defect Covered by Nys Lemon Law

    Now that we have cleared that up.....back to my original question: does anyone know if a defect in the emission control system qualifies as a "Lemon Law" defect? It is not listed in the NYS document but the list is prefaced with "covered parts must include at least". Thanks for everyone's input.
    It doesn't matter. The car doesn't qualify to be covered under the lemon law.

    PayrolGuy,

    Stop saying this. You are misinterpreting the NY state USED CAR lemon law.

    It does qualify. Those exclusions prevent the NEW car lemon from applying.

    https://ag.ny.gov/sites/default/file...ill_rights.pdf

    (2) If your used car has 18,000 miles or less, you may be protected by the New Car Lemon Law.
    (3) • If your used car has more than 18,000 miles and up to and including 36,000 miles, a warranty
    must be provided for at least 90 days or 4,000 miles, whichever comes first.
    If your used car has more than 36,000 miles but less than 80,000 miles, a warranty must be
    provided for at least 60 days or 3,000 miles, whichever comes first
    .
    • If your used car has 80,000 miles or more but no more than 100,000 miles, a warranty must
    be provided for least 30 days or 1,000 miles, whichever comes first. Cars with over 100,000
    miles are not covered.
    (4) If your engine, transmission, drive axle, brakes, radiator, steering, alternator, generator,
    starter, or ignition system (excluding the battery) are defective, the dealer or his agent must
    repair or, if he so chooses, reimburse you for the reasonable cost of repair.
    (5) If the same problem cannot be repaired after three or more attempts, you are entitled to return
    the car and receive a refund of your purchase price or of all payments made under your lease
    contract, and of sales tax and fees, minus a reasonable allowance for any damage not
    attributable to normal usage or wear, and, in the case of a lease contract, a cancellation of all
    further payments you are otherwise required to make under the lease contract.
    The emission control system is not called out specfically. You'd need to refer to the warranty given by the dealer and see if it has additional protections.
