Car dealerships must take steps to ensure compliance with Lemon laws in order to avoid being sued. Under some US lemon laws, car manufacturers are allowed to make a reasonable number of attempts before they can be held liable for failing to replace or repair defective vehicles.

Each car dealership and manufacturers must comply with laws established by each state, but typically, they are allowed to make three attempts to fix the car before it can be deemed a lemon. However, in some states, car dealerships or manufacturers may only need to make one repair attempt if the defect affects the car's safety. Additionally, car dealerships must make sure that any repairs keep the car out of service for a total of 30 days or less within the first 12-24 months after purchase.

Make sure to inform car buyers of their rights, letting them know that repair attempts are completed within the required timeframe, and providing car buyers with a written statement detailing each repair attempt. With proper compliance car dealerships can ensure the satisfaction of car buyers while avoiding expensive legal claims.
