We will notify you when all required information has been received and will identify any additional information needed at that time.
When your BBB AUTO LINE case has been opened, we will send a copy of your claim to your manufacturer.

How BBB AUTO LINE Works

What is the lemon law?

If your vehicle is under warranty, lemon laws require your vehicle manufacturer to repair your vehicle and, if they cannot do so after a reasonable number of attempts, they must either replace or refund your vehicle. There is a federal lemon law, known as the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (“Mag-Moss”), as well as state lemon laws to protect consumers from getting stuck with “lemons.”
