Find out if the Oregon lemon law can help you with your problem vehicle

The Oregon lemon law offers covers all passenger motor vehicles, normally used for personal, family or household purposes, sold in Oregon. The Oregon lemon law even includes leased vehicles and motorcycles.

You may qualify for relief under the Oregon lemon law if, during the first year following purchase or 12,000 miles (whichever occurs first), your vehicle has had at least four attempts to repair a defect and the defect still exists or your vehicle has been out of service for at least 30 days.

If you win your case under the Oregon lemon law, the vehicle manufacturer must either: (1) replace your vehicle with a comparable new model; or (2) accept the return of your vehicle and refund the full purchase price (plus taxes, government fees and similar collateral charges) less a reasonable allowance for your use.

It is very important to document your case.

Should your vehicle turn out to be a lemon, every bit of documentation will help you get the relief you deserve. By gathering the following information, your lemon law attorney can maximize your recovery.

Take notes documenting whom you talked to at the dealership, what was said, and the dates and times of all visits to the dealership. Furthermore, put your complaint in writing and make sure to keep copies.

Demand, and make sure you receive copies of any warranty repair orders and service invoices. Make sure that the "complaint", "problem reported by consumer", or similar section of the document describes the problem exactly how you described it to the serviceperson.
Ask the dealership whether any Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) dealing with the problems you are experiencing. TSBs are instructions from the manufacturer that alert dealerships about defects in (and, accordingly, necessary repairs to) certain models. Instruct the dealership to write on the warranty repair order and/or service invoice that you made such a request.
Every time you bring your vehicle to the dealership, describe the problem exactly the same way and make sure that the warranty repair orders and/or service invoices read the same each time just as you described the problem.
Record the dates, times and odometer readings when your vehicle goes in and comes out of the repair shop.
