Lemon-law claims generally come down to the same things: repair attempts, days out of service, and whether you're still inside the eligibility window. Organize those facts and get a free letter outline; the full demand letter is in the $39 Case Pack.
| Eligibility window | Warranty term or 1 year following date of original delivery to the consumer, whichever is earlier |

Delaware's lemon law requires a manufacturer to repair a new automobile that does not conform to its express warranty when the consumer reports the nonconformity during the warranty term or the first year after original delivery, whichever is earlier. If the automobile cannot be conformed to the warranty after a reasonable number of repair attempts (presumed at 4 or more attempts for the same nonconformity, or a cumulative 30 or more calendar days out of service), the manufacturer must, at the consumer's election, either replace the automobile with a comparable new one or repurchase it and refund the full purchase price including trade-in credits. The Delaware AG's office states the law applies only to new vehicles.
