Do I Have To Make A Lemon Law Claim In The First 18 Months Or 24,000 Miles?

Your vehicle is covered under the NJ lemon law as long as you first report a substantial defect or condition within the first 24 months and 18,000 miles of vehicle use. The subsequent repair attempts can occur after the first 24 months and 18,000 miles. You have four years after the third repair attempt (or 20 days out of service) to formally file for lemon law relief.
